It was one of the most anticipated matches of these quarter-finals of P2 in Valladolid, and he did not disappoint: Ale Galan and Fede Chingotto came to the end of Pablo Cardona and Leo Augsburger in a duel intense and explosive, won 7/6 7/6.

A spectacular duel of styles

On the one hand, the consistency, the intelligence of the game and the experience of a Galan / Chingotto who continues to grow in power this season. On the other, the passion and the power of Cardona / Augsburger, one of the most promising duos on the circuit and Tapia's declared bête noire.

On a very fast track, lobs were rare and the match was dominated by attacks, the “remate” smashes at the top of the list! Both teams traded blows in each set, in the first set no breaks on either side and it was finally Galan/Chingotto who win 7/6.

In the second round, it is Leo and Pablo who quickly made the break, leading 2/0, very quickly caught up by the efforts of Fede Chingotto notably, allowing his team to come back immediately and glue back to 2/2. The two teams will follow each other throughout this second set, they will decide once again on a tie break…

A very tight tie break, several match points are saved by Cardona/Ausburger, but on a last one overly ambitious smash from Argentinian Léo Ausburger, It is Ale Galan who comes to counter this ball in extension and finish in par 4. He seals the hopes of the last four of the young Spanish-Argentine pair and offers himself with Fede Chingotto a new semi-final together.

Galan and Chingotto still on their way to the title

By imposing itself, Galan / Chingotto confirm their status in this tournament, they are coming off a Major title in Rome and are proving once again that consistency pays off this season. Their complicity on the pitch and their composure in key moments could well lead them until the end in Valladolid.

A benchmark match, a real one clash of generations and an incredible level of play, but be careful, there are still a few steps left... A potential semi-final against Stupa/Lebron and why not a new one final against world number 1s Coello/Tapia.
