It was one of the matches to follow this Tuesday at Qatar Major, with a poster opposing two former figures of the circuit A1 Padel : Tolito Aguirre and Gonzalo Alfonso, former number 1, facing the first Portuguese pair, Deus brothers.

And it was the Portuguese who pulled off a great coup by winning in two sets, 7 / 6 6 / 4, after nearly 1h50 of match against the Argentinian pair. A victory that has a taste of revenge, after their home defeat in the FIP Gold of Paredes in Portugal last February.

In this very contested meeting, the first set tie-break was undoubtedly a turning point. The Deus brothers went after it with character, 11/9, gaining psychological advantage over their opponents.

For the Aguirre / Alfonso pair, it is a new disillusionment after disappointing results in Miami P1 and Santiago P1. Used to dominating on the A1 circuit, they now measure the difficulty of find regularity in the tables Premier Padel, where the competition is denser.

On their side, the Deus brothers confirm their good momentum. They will face the number 8 seed in the next round: Leo Augsburger and Pablo Cardona.
