Certainly, the rain did not spare the players or the organizers of the  Paris Major  at Roland-Garros. But between postponements and postponed matches on the CNE tracks, the show still took place. And these  round of XNUMX  offered their share of surprises, sometimes big ones.

Sanyo and Alfonso in tears after a feat

The highlight of the day will undoubtedly be the tears of joy of  Sanyo Gutiérrez  et  Gonzalo Alfonso  after their victory against the last winners of the circuit Premier Padel,  Martín Di Nenno  et  Leo Augsburg . Criticized in recent months, Sanyo delivered a focused and intense performance, like rarely seen. Alfonso, for his part, was simply stratospheric throughout the match. Together, they achieved a feat that left a lasting impression on the Parisian crowd.

Bergamini / Paquito, eliminated far from the central

More discreet but just as striking: the premature exit of the  seed n ° 5 ,  Lucas Bergamini  et  Paquito Navarro . Their defeat against  Ignacio Vilariño  et  salvador oria  was played late at night on one of the CNE's outdoor courts, due to bad weather. It was a brutal setback for the Spanish-Brazilian pair, who had hoped to establish themselves permanently among the best.
For Paquito, a favorite of the French public, the frustration is immense: only one match played, far from the electric atmosphere of Roland-Garros, without the energy of the stands that he so needs to ignite his game. A total disappointment.

Chozas / Tolito out of the running

Another surprise: the pair's defeat  Chozas / Tolito Aguirre  face  Collado / Hernandez . If Aguirre tried to maintain his level,  Alex Chozas  completely missed his match, making a number of errors and displaying worrying irregularity.
For his part, the young  William Collado  shone. A  exclusive interview  The player's profile will also be available very soon on Padel Magazine.

Gonzalez / Sanz swept away in less than 50 minutes

Finally, the express fall of the  seed n ° 6 ,  Momo González / Javi Sanz , against  Denis Perino (68th)  et  Ignacio Piotto (63rd)  surprised with their speed: 6/3 6/1 in less than 50 minutes. Mentally absent, the Spaniards never managed to get into their match. A poor performance that leaves doubts about their state of form.
