Second final of the season for Franco Stupaczuk and Pablo Lima who dominate Paquito Navarro and Martin Di Nenno in three sets: 7/6 3/6 6/1. They will play their second final of the season tomorrow, and like in Brussels, it will be against the numbers 1!
When Gemma Triay and Alejandra Salazar are playing at their best, there's not much to do! Today it is Victoria Iglesias and Aranzazu Osoro who have paid the price. Gemma and Alejandra win 6/2 6/1 and go to the final, where they will find Paula Josemaria and Ariana Sanchez for Vienna's revenge!
Lebron and Galan win in a totally crazy match against Sanyo Gutiérrez and Agustin Tapia. The numbers 1 came back from hell against the Argentines to win 6/3 6/7 7/5.
Third final in a row for Ariana Sanchez and Paula Josemaria who dominate Marta Marrero and Lucia Sainz after a big match, finally won in three sets by the pair number 2: 6/4 4/6 6/1.
Paquito Navarro and Martin Di Nenno had very hot butts… The second best pair in the world qualified for the semi-finals after 2:38 of a match with rebounds and suspense, won 4/6 7/5 6/4 against to Alejandro Ruiz and Momo González.
We can really say that the favorites came back from hell in this game. As a symbol, it had started with a white break lost by Paquito, anything but incisive during the first two sets. Conversely, the Spaniards clearly dominated the debates, thanks to an exceptional Ale Ruiz in defense and especially to an imperial Momo Gonzalez in attack. For more than an hour and a half, the 21-year-old constantly martyred in the backhand diagonal a Paquito who only jumps from 4 meters would have allowed to defend the smashes of a rare violence of a Momo in full confidence .
While Navarro/Di Nenno's body language betrayed anything but confidence, Ale and Momo served for the match at 6/4, 5/4. And suddenly, in the space of two points, their jab machine jammed. A punto de oro almost sent them to the half, but Di Nenno and Navarro defended like devils, before a bandeja de Gonzalez fails in the grid. And at 5-5, confidence began to change sides: against the run of play, Paquito and Martin offered themselves a 3e set.
Around midnight, a completely different match started at the Palais des Sports in Toulouse. We thought it would go to the tie-break, but a first break in this round allowed the seeded 2 to enforce the hierarchy. This missed match point will haunt the night of the Spaniards, that's for sure!
Franco Stupaczuk and Pablo Lima in turn validated their ticket for the semi-finals by beating 6/3 6/3 Juan Tello and Federico Chingotto, very uninspired today, committing a lot of mistakes.
The last game of the day, Navarro / Di Martin against Ruiz / Gonzalez, will start shortly.
A new duel of titans has just ended: Agustin Tapia and Sanyo Gutierrez overcame Fernando Belasteguin and Arturo Coello in three sets (6/4 4/6 6/1) and nearly 2 hours of play. final, they will find Galan and Lebron, for a revenge of the WPT Vienna final, last Sunday.
World numbers 1 Juan Lebron and Ale Galan struggled in the quarter-finals against Argentinians Maxi Sanchez (14th in the world) and Lucho Capra (13th). Two points away from being eliminated, they eventually won 4/6 6/1 7/5.
Ariana Sanchez and Paula Josemaria, seeded No. 2 in the draw Defeated Barbara Las Heras and Veronica Virseda 6/1 4/6 6/4 with a few good scares. Josemaria, in particular, looked in trouble in the 3rd set, held by an impeccable Ari Sanchez.
In the 3rd women's quarter-final, Victoria Iglesias and Aranzazu Osoro created a little surprise by dominating Martita Ortega and Bea Gonzalez with the score of 6/4 6/4.
The last poster opposes Ariana Sanchez and Paula Josemaria to Barbara Las Heras and Veronica Virseda, engaged in a 3rd set.
Facing the Alayeto twins, Gemma Triay and Alejandra Salazar had to work to avoid defeat. After starting authoritatively with a 4/1 entry, Rodri Ovide's players suffered the return of Mapi and Majo. Finally, the numbers 1 come out after a very good battle: 5/7 6/3 6/4.
At the same time, former numbers 1 Lucia Sainz and Marta Marrero won against Delfi Brea and Tamara Icardo: 6/3 7/6.

After being expeditious yesterday against Bergeron / Leygue, Fernando Belasteguin and Arturo Coello had to work hard to validate their ticket for the quarter-finals. The Hispano-Argentinian pair is still doing well: 6/7 6/4 6/4 against Cepero / Lijo.

Araceli Martínez / Arantxa Soriano beat Nicole Traviesa / Marta Caparros 2/6 – 6/3 – 6/4
After the seeded 1 of these previas, it is the Tds 2 which takes the door: Sergio Alba and Eduardo Alonso – the best ranked in the table in the ranking of this week, were surprised by Juanlu Esbri and Javier Barahona. Esbri particularly impressed the public (and perhaps his opponents) by multiplying the winning smashes hit from behind the service line.
In hot conditions (it's 36 degrees today in Toulouse) which favor big hitters, Esbri has the art of arching his back and injecting lift into his "remates" to make them touch the ceiling.
Final score: 6/3 – 7/5.
The results
Barahona/Esbri beat Mouliaa/Solbes 6/2 – 7/6
Alba/Alonso beat Vera/A. Garcia 6/1 – 1/6 – 6/1
Mendez/Oria beat P. Garcia/Bautista 6/3-6/4
The day ends sadly with a defeat of the last French survivors of the day, Jessica Ginier et Lucille Pothier. After their great victory this morning, the tricolors suffered the law of the Spanish pair Agueda Perez Ortiz (152e) and Amanda Lopez Morale, made up of two amazing players aged 14 and 15. After a break obtained from the start, the Lyonnaises were dominated 6-1 in the first set, before recovering in the second. But a single break allowed the Spaniards to win 6/4, with impressive maturity for their age.
Previously, the spectators of the central track had had the privilege of admiring the breathtaking battle between Cristian Gutierrez (74st) and Daniel Windahl (84th), opposed to Boris Castro (102st) and Fran Ramirez (76th). The latter, after a first lost tie-break, managed to win 9/7 in the decisive game of the 3rd set, thanks to a hyper spectacular game from Castro, imperial in the smash as in defense. Final score: 6/7 – 6/3 -7/6 (9-7).
