The tournaments follow one another and are not the same for some. Indeed, the pairs who surprised the most during the Riyadh P1 have already been eliminated in Doha…

The first, and this is ultimately not surprising, is the one composed of Salva Oria and Ignacio Sager. After having defied all odds in Saudi Arabia, the outsiders took the front door to Qatar. Forced to give up in the semi-final against Coello / Tapia, Oria and Sager drew on their resources throughout last week. So much so that they didn't have much fuel left in the engine yesterday for their entry into this first Major of the season. They lost 2/6 6/1 2/6 against Chozas / Perino.

More surprising, the defeat of Lucas Campagnolo and Agustin Gutiérrez against Javi Garcia and Javi Barahona. After showing an excellent level of play and reaching the quarter-finals in Riyadh, the Argentinian and the Brazilian are heading to Qatar. However, they started well, but literally exploded behind. Final score 5/7 6/3 6/1 for the Spaniards!

Aris Patiniotis and Facundo Dominguez also defied the predictions in Saudi Arabia with a surprise victory against Fernando Belasteguin and Lucho Capra. But yesterday, they did not last long against Teo Zapata with a defeat in two sets 6/4 6/3.

With these three examples, we have new proof that the hardest thing in high-level sport is not to create an exploit but to be able to confirm it over time...
