The Superdome hosting the WPT La Rioja Padel Open again won an attendance record with 14.000 spectators on the single day of the ladies' and men's semi-finals.

It must be said that the competition is the scene of an exceptional spectacle with in particular two young Argentinians who are in the process of writing the history of our sport: Valentino Libaak et Leonardo Augsburgr.

These beat two records : that of becoming the youngest players to reach a final of the World Padel Tour but also to be the first to reach this stage of the competition by starting with a wild-card.

In the final, they will face Arturo Coello et Agustín Tapia who beat Franco Stupaczuk et Martin Di Nenno in two sets 6-4 6-3. Was it the final before the hour? We will see.
