Le Premier Padel P1 Madrid has started, with five Frenchmen in the men's draw who have embarked on the Spanish adventure. Result: two wins out of five.

Jérémy Scatena and Franc Ramirez ensured a good match against the solid Spanish pair Verz Lopez / Pozo Carballo, with a victory in two sets: 6/1 6/4. The fourth seed has respected its rank.

The Franco-Argentinian pair Blanqué / Acosta honored their Wild Card by winning their first match against another Spanish pair, Aliaga / Jimenez.

It's a disappointment for Max Moreau and Jérôme Inzerillo who lose in the first round against Medina / Agustin. The French pair, slightly better ranked, came out of a very good tournament at the Major in Italy where they had managed to get out of the qualifications. They bow in three sets 5/7 6/4 6/4.

The Franco-Spanish pair Guichard / Martinez came close to victory against Menendez / Ronco, unfortunately losing in three sets 6/2 3/6 7/5.

Leygue / Martinez suffered a heavy defeat, it is true against the third seed in qualifying, Rivera / Mercadal, with the score of 6/1 6/3.

Blanqué / Acosta will have to deliver a great match tomorrow against the Spanish-Portuguese pair Araujo / Fuster who created the surprise of the day by beating the seeded 1 of the qualifications, Garcia /Vera, in 2 sets: 6/3 6/ 4.

For Scatena/Ramirez, being seeded 4 increases the chances of getting into the main draw. Bautista / Santigosa will be the next opponent for the French-Spanish pair, who managed to beat Santana / Perez Cendon in three sets. Be careful, the Spaniards remain serious customers.
