The Premier Padel Finals Barcelona have an unexpected semi-final match in store for us: Jon Sanz / Coki Nieto face Momo Gonzalez / Edu AlonsoThese two pairs, far from being favourites at the start of the quarter-finals, were able to defy the odds to make their way to the last four.
Sanz and Nieto: the surprise against Stupa and Yanguas
Coki Nieto and Jon Sanz put in a high-flying performance to eliminate the 3 seed pair Franco Stupaczuk and Mike Yanguas. In a fierce fight lasting almost three hours, which ended with a score of 6/7 6/3 6/4, the Spanish team demonstrated their fighting spirit and complementarity. Despite persistent rumors of a split in 2025, they were able to focus on the game and deliver a memorable performance, driven by a high-energy atmosphere on the central track in Barcelona.
Momo and Edu: the feat against Galán and Chingotto
On their side, Momo Gonzalez and Edu Alonso achieved one of the major feats of the tournament by beating the second seed, Ale Galán and Fede Chingotto, in three sets (6/4 4/6 6/4). A historic victory for this Spanish pair, who were able to exploit the weaknesses of their opponents and remain solid in crucial moments, thus ending the impressive series of Galán and Chingotto, who until then had been systematically present in the semi-finals.
An unprecedented and surprising battle
To add even more interest to this semi-final, Sanz/Nieto and González/Alonso have never faced each other this season, which promises a completely new opposition. In addition, whatever the result, there will be a surprise in the final of the Premier Padel Finals, because these two pairs were not expected at this level of the competition.
The match promises to be a duel between two teams with similar styles, based on point work and defense. These qualities will be all the more important in the conditions slow from Palao Sant Jordi, which promote long exchanges.
Planned for this Saturday December 21st not before 19:30 p.m., this match should offer a great spectacle, with a ticket to a final at stake.
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 !
