After a day of sixteenths marked by the domination of the favorites, one wonders if these round of XNUMX of the Greenweez Paris Premier Padel Major (G3PM) may offer us some surprises.

If qualified pairs had managed to thwart the odds and climb to the round of 16, yesterday the seeded players were not in the lace. So much so that the XNUMX best pairs on the circuit will fight this afternoon to try to secure a place in the quarter-finals.

Eight high-level posters are on the program from 14 p.m. Porte d'Auteuil:

What are the biggest surprise chances in these eight games? On paper, three meetings seem rather indecisive.

The first is obviously the one that will take place at 14 p.m. between Lucho Capra / Maxi Sanchez (TS7) and Coki Nieto / Miguel Yanguas (TS9). If the Argentinians start out as favorites because of their experience, the young Spaniards have long teeth and they want to prove that they already have what it takes to be among the very best. So expect a close match between these two pairs.

Then, we think that the surprise could come from the duo Leal / Rico (TS10) against Gonzalez / Ruiz (TS6). In the Parisian heat, the smash of young Javi Leal sparks. Problem, his Andalusian compatriot Alex Ruiz is still very comfortable outdoors and he doesn't lack arms either... But we think that the key could come from the fine tactician Javi Rico, who knows his former teammate Momo very well. Gonzalez, and who, thanks to his ball quality, could prevent the favorites from being comfortable on the court. In any case, the conditions seem to be in place to offer us a very good fight. Can seed 6, who dropped a set yesterday, walk out today?

Finally, what if Pablo Lijo and Javi Ruiz (TS11) created a sensation against Belasteguin / Coello (TS5)? These two left-wing players who have recently decided to play together seem to be gaining momentum. If it's still hot at 18 p.m., Pablo Lijo's power could hurt the Spanish-Argentinian duo very badly. Problem, in fast conditions, Arturo Coello's smash is also a very difficult equation to solve. In our opinion, Bela and Coello should still manage to win, but there should be a good battle on court n°3 from 18:00 p.m.!

If, given the ranking, the gap is not too big between the Gil/Silingo (TS12) and Campagnolo/Garrido (TS8) pairs, it seems to us that in such fast conditions, the latter start out as big favourites. Will the veteran Silingo and the metronome Gil make us lie?

You will have understood it, in the other meetings, we see the cadors of the circuit doing the work and being at the rendezvous of the shifts tomorrow.

And you, do you think there will be any surprises today?
