The Mijas Open, the only stage of the World Padel Tour in August, has many surprises in store for us. And the ladies 'and men's finals are no exception to Mijas' rule with two unexpected finals and inevitably nice surprises.

Ana Catarina Nogueira / Paula Josemaría Martín confirms

Alejandra Salazar / Ariana Sánchez: A pair who arrived in the final rather quietly practicing a game that leaves no room for doubt. They are in shape after the small pose on the professional circuit and they will be the favorites of the final.

Opposite, Ana Catarina Nogueira / Paula Josemaría Martín, the Hispano-Portuguese pair who remakes us the blow of the Swedish Open with this final. You have to count on her now in the world of padel ladies. She thus follows a quarter to the Master of Valladolid, this final lost at the Swedish Open and a quarter in Valencia. After this victory against the world numbers in the semi-finals, Marta Ortega and Marta Marrero, we can say that Nogueira / Martín arrives with full confidence. Will this be enough?

Jorge Nieto Ruiz / Javier Rico Dasi surprises

We knew it before the start of the semi-final: Whatever happens, one of these two pairs would discover for the first time the joys of a World Padel Tour. Many observers put the Martín S. Piñeiro / Alejandro Ruiz pair slightly favorite as it had notably released the first world pair Sanchez / Sanyo.

But once again, everyone was wrong with a clear and almost final victory for Jorge Nieto Ruiz / Javier Rico Dasi in 2 sets: 6-3 / 6-4.

Jorge Nieto Ruiz / Javier Rico Dasi are a rising pair, but lack the experience of Lima / Galan. Remember that this is the 19th pair in the world. She will play against the 3rd pair in the world who managed to win their match against Paquito / Lebron, a pair very confident for now. On paper, there too, the final seems unbalanced and it would be easy to bet on a victory for the Spanish-Brazilian. But, the world of padel was so wrong about this Open that it is better to let the players give us a great show.

The finals will be broadcast as usual on the Youtube channel of World Padel Tour, and for on the GOL TV channel.
