The penultimate day of the group stage of the  Hexagon Cup 2025  was decisive. After a promising start to the tournament, the stands of the  Madrid Arena  were filled this Friday.

 The Rafa Nadal Academy sets its pace 

With  five wins for one defeat , the team of the  Rafael Nadal Academy  is emerging as the big favourite. After failing to reach the final last year, she seems determined to rectify her situation this season. Noa Cánovas and Noemí Aguilar once again demonstrated their solidity by winning 7/6 6/4 against  Marina Lobo and Águeda Pérez  of the team  KRU , although the latter put up a good resistance.

On their side,  Marta Ortega and Gemma Triay  won an intense duel 2/6 6/4 10-6 against  Paula Josemaria and Alejandra Alonso , not without difficulty. The world number one is struggling to find her bearings in this competition.

 Lorena Rufo stands out with authority 

Already in great shape since the start of the tournament,  Lorena Rufo  chief flight attendants of Team  ElevenEleven  continues to impress. Alongside  Raquel Eugenio , she has outclassed  Marta Barrera and Lucia Peralta  6/2 6/3 with an unassailable domination.

 Paquito Navarro wins his last fight against Belasteguín 

One of the highlights of the day was the meeting between  Paquito Navarro and Fernando Belasteguin , two emblematic figures of padel who faced each other one last time on the  Madrid Arena The duel lived up to all its promises, with a first set contested until  tie-breaker  before Navarro and  Alex Chozas  definitely take the upper hand in the second set 7/6 6/3.

 KRU Padel revives with major victories 

After a difficult start to the tournament,  KRU Padel  raised its head with several important victories.  Claudia Jensen and Vero Virseda  have overturned  Delfi Brea and Sofia Araujo  in three sets 5/7 7/5 10-5.

On their side,  Momo Gonzalez and Fede Chingotto  signed a great performance by beating 7/6 7/5  Alex Ruiz and Franco Stupaczuk , ending the Rafa Nadal Academy's unbeaten run.

 AD/Vantage holds its ground, 10 Pádel in difficulty 

The team  AD/Vantage , co-directed by  Andy Murray and Anthony Joshua , remains in the running for qualification for the final thanks to a convincing 6/3 7/5 victory by  Juan Tello and Martin Di Nenno  face  Mike Yanguas and Javi Garrido .

On the other hand, training  10 Padel , conducted by  Pierre Gasly , sees its hopes of qualification fading away. With only one victory to its name, it seems too far behind to hope to reach the final.

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 !
