After having already eliminated Tolito Aguirre and Álex Chozas in the first round, the Argentinian and the Spaniard, Maxi Maple et Pablo Lijó , achieved a small feat by eliminating the number 5 seeds, Paquito Navarro and Lucas Bergamini , in two sets (6/4 6/4). A victory which propels them into quarter-finals , where the ultimate challenge now awaits them: the world number 1s Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia .
Coello/Tapia solid in key moments
Against the Ruiz brothers, the circuit leaders once again showed their mental strength, winning the first set tie-break before winning in two sets (7/6 6/4). Without dominating as much as at the start of the season, they continue to move forward and aim for a fifth consecutive title .
The favorites are present
Behind them, Ale Galán and Fede Chingotto (TS2) didn't hang around, dismissing Diestro/Esbrí in less than an hour (6/1 6/2). For their part, Franco Stupaczuk and Juan Lebrón (TS3) outclassed Belluati/Garrido (6/1 6/0) and could well meet Galán/Chingotto in the semi-finals. Their next opponents will be respectively Di Nenno/Augsburger (TS7) et Momo González/Jon Sanz (TS6) .
Finally, the last quarter-final promises to be explosive between Coki Nieto/Mike Yanguas (TS4) et Javi Leal/Fran Guerrero The latter won against Tello/Cardona after a tough battle (4/6 7/6 6/4). The tie-break remains one of their weapons: out of 14 contested this season, they have only lost one. This confrontation will already be the fifth clash between the two duos in six tournaments, proof of a budding rivalry.
The new Brea/Triay queens without mercy
In the women's table, the day was marked by the spectacular entry of the new world number 1s, Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay , victorious 6/0 6/0 in just 40 minutes against Barrera/Caparrós. Paula Josemaría and Ari Sánchez (TS2) also mastered their subject against Caldera/Goenaga (6/4 6/2).
The hierarchy was respected for Bea González and Claudia Fernández (6/2 6/2 against Martínez/Collombon) , just like for Araújo/Ustero (TS4) , winners 7/5 7/5 against Guinart/Iglesias. They will find themselves in quarters Carolina Orsi and Martina Fassio , Castelló/Rufo scorers (6/3 6/3).
Ortega/Icardo eliminated, Velasco/Eugenio surprise
The main surprise came from the elimination of Marta Ortega and Tamara Icardo , beaten by the young Jimena Velasco and Raquel Eugenio , only 17 years old, who continue their magnificent journey (7/5 6/4).
Eight matches are scheduled for Friday on the center court of the Movistar Arena with increasingly crowded stands.
