We take the same and start again.  Javi Leal and Fran Guerrero (TS10)  will meet again tomorrow  Juan Tello and Pablo Cardona (TS8)  for an anticipated remake of Madrid P1. Both pairs validated their ticket to the last 6 after two solid victories this Tuesday: 4/7 6/6 for Leal / Guerrero against Zapata / Cabeza, and 4/6 3/XNUMX for Tello / Cardona against Rico / Sager.

The Madrid precedent still fresh in people's minds

Last week in Madrid, these same protagonists put on a tremendous fight. Leal and Guerrero ended up turning the tables despite being held to a match point, winning 4/6 7/6 6/4 in one of the tournament's most tense duels. This victory once again confirmed their status as troublemakers, capable of knocking off seeded players.

Tello and Cardona under pressure

For Tello and Cardona, this new meeting sounds like a  opportunity for revenge …but also as an obligation. Their partnership, still relatively new, is struggling to get off the ground: eliminated in the first round at the P1 in Tarragona, then exited in the last 8 in Madrid. For an 8th seed, the record is far from what was expected. Another defeat against Leal and Guerrero would further weaken the pair.

Match to watch closely

On the other hand, Leal and Guerrero are riding a strong momentum. Their complicity, their energy, and their ability to raise the tone in heated moments make them a formidable pair, already known for knocking off favorites. Tomorrow, the tension will be at its peak: Tello and Cardona need a big result to give credibility to their project, but Leal and Guerrero have no intention of giving up their status as "headhunters."

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 !
