This Saturday was supposed to offer some great matches for FIP Platinum Veracruz with the two men's semi-finals and the women's final on the program. But in outdoor tournaments, the weather often remains the third player. And this time, it has decided to take center stage.

On weather conditions forced the organization to suspend the session after only one match was played. A frustrating scenario for both players and fans, as the weekend was entering its decisive phase.

Goñi weakened, Sanz/Goñi forced to withdraw

The day had begun with the match between Jon Sanz / Aimar Goñi et Momo González / Fran GuerreroBut the match didn't even see a single game played. A victim of... food poisoningGoñi arrived very weakened, physically unable to start the match.

This is a major blow for the player, who had real ambitions for this tournament and saw it as an opportunity to score important points in his current momentum.

Alonso / Tello – Campagnolo / Garrido stopped mid-battle

In the other semi-final, Edu Alonso / Juan Tello faced Lucas Campagnolo / Javi Garrido when the weather finally brought the proceedings to a halt. At the time of the interruption, the score was 6 / 2 4 / 4 in favor of the Spanish-Argentine pair Alonso / Tello.

The match will therefore resume where it left off, with total suspense still surrounding the identity of the finalist.

A decisive day postponed to Sunday

Everything will therefore be decided this Sunday, starting from 10 p.m. (local time)with a busy schedule:

- The female final across Aranza Osoro / Victoria Iglesias et Martina Fassio / Patty Llaguno
– The resumption of the shock Alonso/Tello vs Campagnolo/Garrido
– Then the male final who will conclude this disrupted tournament

This new epilogue is a reminder of a well-known reality of outdoor padel: despite meticulous organization, the weather remains unpredictable and capable of reshuffling the cards at any moment.

It remains to be seen whether this setback will influence the dynamics of the pairs still in contention… or whether the court will resume its full course tomorrow.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
