Yesterday the first day of the main draw of the P2 in Puerto Cabello in Venezuela concluded in a sumptuous seaside setting.

Puerto Cabelo 2024

Among the men, Tino Libaak and Leo Augsburger struck a big blow. The Argentines, from qualifying, delivered a titanic duel against Edu Alonso and Alex Arroyo, one of the promising pairs of the season. The young nuggets won 6/4 – 5/7 – 6/4 in two hours of play. They are waiting for the winner of the first round between Yanguas/Garrido and Semmler/Lijo.

For the top seeds, if Bergamini/Ruiz (8) had no problem dismissing Patinotis/Dominguez (6/2 – 5/2 ab.), the task was much more complicated for Nieto/Sanz who had need three rounds to get rid of Cardona/Ruiz (4/6 – 6/2 – 7/5).

On the women's side, if Claudia Jensen is the youngest hope in world padel, Noa Canovas is also positioned as a rising star. The 20-year-old player, associated with Jimena Velasco, created the surprise of the day by beating Aranzazu Osoro and Carmen Goenaga (6/4 – 6/4). A result that suits Frenchwoman Carla Touly and Margarida Fernandes, since they are the next opponents of the Spaniards.

Follow the second day of Puerto Cabello from 14 p.m. French time on the Youtube channel of Premier Padel with today the entries into the running of Coello/Tapia, Chingotto/Galan and Castello/Jensen.
