The three best pairs on the circuit qualified for the semi-finals of La Rioja Open, accompanied by Federico Chiostri and Maxi Sánchez, who eliminated Allemandi-Pereyra. The quarter-final day was marked by the injury of Agustín Torre, with a highlight in the last match where local idol Matías Del Moral qualified with Juani De Pascual.
Chiostri and Sánchez dismiss Pereyra and Allemandi
Fede Chiostri and Maxi Sánchez triumphed over Adrián Allemandi and Ramiro Pereyra with a double 6/4, interrupting their streak of six consecutive semi-finals. The first set was hotly contested, with six games decided by golden point. Chiostri and Sánchez knew how to seize their chance in the ninth game. The second set started off difficult for Pereyra and Allemandi, who were quickly broken. Despite coming back to 4-4, Chiostri and Sánchez regained the advantage to win the match.
Mágicos in semi-finals after Torre injury
Gonzalo Alfonso and Leonel Aguirre reached the semi-finals after Agustín Torre's injury, while leading 6/5 in the first set. Torre and his partner Diego Ramos reacted well after losing their first serve. Unfortunately, an injury to Torre's right abductor forced him to withdraw, ending their participation and jeopardizing their presence in Marbella.
Arce and Dal Bianco in the semi-finals
Maxi Arce and Franco Dal Bianco, former leaders of the ranking, qualified for the semi-finals by beating Pablo Barrera and Santi Rolla 6/3 6/4. Although their performance was not optimal, they were able to raise their level in crucial moments. The duo will look to qualify for another final, but will have to face Chiostri and Sánchez.
The public pushes Del Moral into the semi-finals
Matías Del Moral, buoyed by the fervent support of the La Rioja public, came back with Juani De Pascual to qualify for the semi-final after a 0/6 6/3 6/3 victory against Frugoni and Abud. After a difficult first set, Del Moral and De Pascual found the resources to turn the situation around. They will face the best pair on the circuit in the semi-final, with the hope that the support of their public will take them even further.
