Momo Gonzalez and Alex Ruiz perform exceptional tournament at Ooredoo Qatar Major Premier Padel by accessing a almost unexpected semi-final. The Ruiz / Gonzalez pair succeeds in knocking down the first world pair and favorite of the competition: Lebron / Galan.

Conditions that benefit us

We had played in Milan against Galan and Lebron. Playing outdoors here in Qatar is totally different. it goes slower, it comes out less.

The conditions favored our game. We put on more volume and at the same time we were less aggressive. On this type of track, aggressiveness may not necessarily pay off. Hence this strategic choice. And he paid.

Conqueror even against Lebron / Galan

We got inside their head. We arrived on the track to win, even if it is against the best pair in the world. This mentality, we kept it throughout the match. We were confident very quickly in this match.

Galan made mistakes

And then we also saw that Galan made many mistakes. Our strategy was to put the ball in the field and cause the foul. (Editor's note. Lebron was put in the fridge, especially on the last games of the match).

A training that served

We don't have a preference for tomorrow (ed. current match Bela / Sanyo vs Nieto / Lima, to see HERE). We'll see who we play against. But we are going to rest, because we are tired.

The fact that we also trained with our friends Garrido / Chingotto this morning, on the central, between us, that allowed us to get out of the tournament a bit.

It is certainly one of the most beautiful matches of our career.
