Thomas Leygue (104th) and Guillermo Collado Losada (76th) have launched their qualifying campaign perfectly at Miami P1 by asserting himself with authority in the face of American wild cards Raul Ruiz Alvarez and Jose Antonio De Armas. A victory 6 / 1 6 / 3 logical for the French and the Spanish, who are not did not fall into the trap against unranked opponents.

A huge challenge in the second round

Thanks to this success, Leygue and Collado advance to the second round of qualifyingBut task looks much more complicated to hope to secure a ticket to the main draw. Indeed, they will have to face the big favorites for qualifying, the top seed 1, Tolito Aguirre and Gonzalo Alfonso.

Aguirre and Alfonso also won in two sets (6/3 6/2) against Simone Cremona (86th) and Jaume Romera Barcelo (132nd), confirming their status as headliner of these qualifications. The Argentinian duo is currently in great shape, having played two consecutive finals in Premier Padel à Cancun and Gijon. But that's not all: they also stay on two consecutive titles on the FIP circuit, with victories in FIP Gold Walls and FIP Platinum Puebla.

A move to play on the physical level?

Si Aguirre and Alfonso are undoubtedly the favorites on paper, an element could play in favor of Leygue and Collado : physical freshness. Just yesterday, Aguirre and Alfonso were disputing the Cancún P2 final against Lebrón and Stupaczuk, and less than 24 hours later, they already had to continue with their first qualifying match in Miami.

This lack of recovery could be a key factor, especially against a pair like Leygue and Collado, who will arrive fresher.

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 !
