Ignacio Vilarino Gestoso (54) et Mario Del Castillo (75), the tournament's number 1 seed, were knocked out in the quarter-finals by the number 7 seed, Aliaga (143) / Cordoba (112), on the score of 6 / 1 6 / 4.

Favorites due to the package of Pablo Lijo and Gonzalo Rubio, held in Egypt for the NewGiza P2, the two Spaniards did not live up to their status and leave the tournament in the quarter-finals. The Aliaga/Córdoba pair will face Ramiro Jesus Valenzuela (113) et Pol Hernández (98), who won in three sets 6/3 6/7 6/3 against Sánchez/Meléndez (TS3).

In the other part of the draw, another surprise occurred in the quarter-finals, with the elimination of the number 2 seed, José Solano (64) et Iván Ramírez (75). The two Spaniards were beaten in two sets 6 / 4 6 / 4 by Jaume Romera Barceló (184) et Diego Dorta Diaz (222). On their side, Diego Gil (89) et Alonso Martínez (101), seeded number 4, also lost to the number 8 seed, Cándido Jorge Alfaro (145) et Pablo Castillo Valverde (122), on the score of 6 / 3 6 / 2.

In the women's race, the logic is respected: the four best-ranked pairs find themselves in the semi-finals, all having reached this stage without losing a single set.

The semi-finals:

  • From 17am : Barrera De La Fuente (55) / Caparros Maldonado (51) – Varo Ramos (76) / Perez Momha (92)
  • Followed by: Garcia Trella (90) / Lopez Dias (101) – Eugenio Barrera (74) Borrero Fernández (49)
  • Not before 18:30 p.m.: Jorge Alfaro (145) / Castillo Valverde (122) – Romera Barcelo (184) / Dorta Diaz (22)
  • Followed by: Aliaga (143) / Cordoba (112) – Valenzuela (113) / Hernandez (98)

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 !
