This is the unexpected situation that arises at Milan Premier Padel P1. After losing in the qualifying final, Lara Arruabarrena et Julia Polo will face again Carla Toully et Ana Domínguez in the round of 16. This remake is made possible by the status of lucky losers of Lara and Julia, who reached the main draw thanks to the last-minute withdrawal of Paula Josemaría et Ari Sánchez.
To Carla Toully, this first main draw in a P1 will remain memorable. She will find a pair that she has already beaten during the qualifications, a rare situation full of stakes.
This meeting offers a exceptional opportunity both pairs to secure a second round in this prestigious tournament. Despite their victory in the qualifications, the pair Franco-Spanish composed of Carla Touly and Ana Domínguez was not the favorite on paper. For their part, Arruabarrena et Polo will be keen to take their revenge and show that they deserve their place in the main draw.
The match promises to be very balanced, with a particular intensity due to what is at stake: not only a qualification for the second round, but also the precious points that come with it.
The pair that wins this match will have the opportunity to play a potential duel against the number 3 seed, Delfi Brea et Bea Gonzalez, during the next round. For the pair Franco-Spanish, a victory against the lucky loser pair would be a great gift before Christmas, offering them a second round in a P1 to conclude their adventure on the circuit in style Premier Padel in 2024.
Ce first round of the main draw is scheduled for tomorrow, in third rotation, around midi.
