Valladolid P2: Yanguas and Stupaczuk jostled, Coello and Tapia unfold

The round of 16 of Valladolid P2 has provided its first lessons. While all the top seeds secured their place in the quarterfinals, some had to dig deep. This was particularly true for Franco Stupaczuk and Mike Yanguas, who were under pressure for much of the match before turning things around. Conversely, Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia made a comfortable start in front of the Valladolid crowd.

Stupa and Yanguas avoid the trap

The biggest scare of the day came from the world number 4 pair. Facing Xisco Gil and the young Manu Castaño, Stupaczuk and Yanguas were surprised in the first set.
