A seed fell this morning at Kuwait P1 in the men's draw. Indeed, the Ruiz / Arroyo pair (TS9) was surprised by the two Javier Garcia et Barahona. A new defeat for Alex Ruiz et Stream who are experiencing difficulties since the beginning of their association.

The defeat will be bitter for the two Alex, beaten in three sets by the 23rd pair of the tournamentIt must be said that the Spaniards had a bad start in the first set, letting the set slip away. 6/4However, the Arroyo/Ruiz pair managed to get moving in the second round, winning after a thrilling match. 8/6 tie-breaker decisive.

The third set was just as balanced. However, an alert came from Javier Garcia and Javier Barahona. Indeed, at 5/5 on the service of outsiders, Barahona seems to have injured his knee. On the ground, he holds his sore limb and grimaces. When he gets up, he is limping. Nevertheless, as close as the final outcome of the encounter, abandonment was unthinkable and he came back into his match, almost as if nothing had happened. Both Javiers won their serve and forced the 9 seed to serve to stay in the match.

Was this time-out the cause of the break that followed? Difficult to say. In any case, Alex Arroyo and Alex Ruiz conceded their commitment at the worst possible moment, giving the match to Barahona / Garcia.
