In Acapulco, during the Premier Padel GNP Mexico Major, the stakes are very high for both women and men, with the Premier Padel Finals in Barcelona. A look back at this fourth day.

Tamara Icardo aims for a place in the Premier Padel Finals

Since his return from injury, Tamara Icardo has been stringing together solid performances with four quarter-finals under his belt, including a victory at FIP Platinum Marbella. To qualify for the Premier Padel Barcelona Finals, she still has to raise her level. At her side, her partner Claudia jensen, already victorious in Acapulco during the P1 last March, intends to help her there. The duo, seeded n°7, benefited from the withdrawal of Victoria Iglesias et Marina Guinart in the round of 16, but will have to face the formidable Gemma Triay et Claudia fernandez (seeded No. 2). The latter had to battle in three sets to eliminate Marta Marrero et Ksenia Sharifova (15). This performance gives hope to Icardo and Jensen the possibility of an exploit.

In front of Icardo in the FIP Race, we find Alejandra Alonso et Andrea Ustero, eliminated in the last 16 by Paula Josemaría et Ari Sánchez (7-5, 2-6, 6-1), as well asAranzazu Osoro, which continues its progression with Veronica Virseda after their victory (6-3, 6-4) against Noemi Aguilar et Teresa Navarro. Osoro will face world number ones Sánchez and Josemaría in the quarterfinals. The other women's quarterfinals will see Bea González et Delfi Brea (3) to Alix Collombon et Araceli Martinez (16), as well as Alejandra Salazar et Sofia Castello (5) to Marta Ortega et Lucia Araujo (4)
