Facing Pablo Cardona and Leo Augsburger, Chingotto and Galán had to take out the barbed wire. The two young gunners found in the hot conditions of Valladolid a perfect terrain to show off their power. But the Chingotto's defensive solidity, and Galán's handling of the hot moments, made the difference. It took two tie-breaks (7/6 7/6) to open the door to the semi-finals, not without suffering. A precious victory for the winners of the Rome Major, still in the running for a double.
Lebrón and Stupaczuk respond after the controversy

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
