The last game of the day featured the terrifying Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia facing the “almost surprised” pair at this stage of this competition Premier Padel Madrid P1, Lucho Capra / Maxi Sanchez. Well launched since their reunion, the Spaniard and the Argentinian have had a string of successes, leading them to a new title in Rome last week. Thirsty for victory, the pair intended to shine once again in the Iberian capital.

Maxi and Lucho attack hard

Despite a first game to their advantage, the “King Arthur" and the Mozart” from Catamarca did not manage to maintain this small lead. Indeed, the Argentinians who enjoyed this first semi-final on the Qatari circuit intended to show their best version on the 20×10. Very quickly, they managed to impose a solid game allowing them to widen the gap on their opponents of the day (3/1). The two young prodigies, who seemed not to have said their last word for a moment, couldn't do anything and lost in this first round with a score of 6/3.

A severe backlash

Stung to the quick, Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia were quick to get back into the game. The two friends did not intend to let it go so easily and decided to hit hard from the start of the second round. Confused, the two Argentinians thus lost the rhythm they had been able to achieve in this semi-final, this time suffering attacks from their rivals (5/1). Cornered, Sanchez and Capra found themselves completely lost in the face of the Spanish-Argentinian steamroller. They therefore lost 2/6 during this second set.

At the end of the suspense

After the lightning that had just fallen on them, Maxi Sanchez and Lucho Capra seemed to have recovered a little from the hair of the beast. A little more on their legs than in the second period, the Albiceleste duo managed to take the advantage, thus offering themselves a hope of qualification (3/2). Neck and neck, the four players went blow for blow and intended to give up nothing to reach this long-awaited final. The points went by and no one in the audience could predict who would emerge victorious from this battle. After more than two hours of play, and perhaps the point of the year signed Coello and Tapia on match point, these were the two young nuggets of the padel world who got the better of their opponents, winning 7/5 in the third set.
