It was the surprise 1/2 final of this Italy Major Premier Padel. After eliminating number 1 Lebron/Galan, Bela and Yanguas were opposed to Paquito and Chingotto.

The Paquito Show

Paquito regaled. In the first set, Chingotto and Paquito were untouchable. Gabriel Reca's players imposed their rhythm from the start of the match, putting the Yanguas / Bela pair under pressure.

Paquito excelled in defense and entertained the Italian public on the Central of Foro Italico. The Andalusian made impressive tweeners and defensive shots against the glass. Sickened and frustrated, Mike Yanguas and Bela were confused and failed to find their level of play the day before. The Hispano-Argentinian pair is too unruly in this first set. 'El Raton' and Paquito were not worried and easily won the first set 6/1.

Mass seems to be said in Rome. From the start of the second set, 'El Raton' and Paquito achieve a double break. Gabriel Reca's players seem unstoppable. Mike Yanguas and Bela struggle to find the resources to build their game and suffer domination from their opponents.

Despite the Spanish-Argentinian pair's efforts to get back into the game, Chingotto and Paquito keep their opponents at bay, showing resilience on two key occasions. Finally, Chingotto and Paquito won in two sets: 6/1 6/2.
