The second day of qualifying for the Riyadh P1 begins. If Dylan Guichard et Clement Geens fail to pass, Thomas Leygue et Alvaro Montiel continue their journey and play for their qualification in the final table this evening.

Guichard and Geens bow out

Dylan Guichard (118), associated with the Belgian Clement Geens (95), lost in two sets (6/3 6/3) against Guillermo Collado Losada (72) / Javier Martinez (71), the top seed in these qualifications. Their lack of efficiency in return, with only 1% of points won on the opponent's first serve, complicates the task. For their part, their opponents are solid on serve with 24% of points won on the first serve. The step was too high, the Frenchman and the Belgian leave with 76 points from Riyadh P9.

Leygue and Montiel continue

Thomas Leygue (96) et Alvaro Montiel (102) beat the 6th seed, Mario Ortega (92) et Fran Ramirez Navas (78), on the score of 6 / 2 6 / 3. After a difficult first set, they took control thanks to better efficiency in service and good work in return. Leygue / Montiel stood out with 38% of break points converted, while Ortega and Ramirez never broke in the game. A good result that allows them to offer themselves a qualifying match in the main draw.

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 !
