This resumption of the WPT Estrella Damm Open 2020 competition in Madrid is the scene of the appearance of young promises. Surprises and posters for this Thursday.

Thursday, last day without televised broadcast. Everyone wants to be seen by friends, family, sponsors, and places are expensive.

Young people who are starting to win games feel like they are growing their wings and want to continue the WPT adventure a little more.

This is the case ofArturo Coello and Iván Ramírez, who started the tournament in Prévia and find themselves in 1/8 finals against Fede Chingotto and Juan Tello after “punishing” Ernesto Moreno and José Rico Dasí.

We know that the first rounds of tournaments are always difficult. You have not yet picked up the pace and you must play athletes who already have one or more games in their legs. Contrary to Bela / Tapia, who managed to get by, Lamperti / Bergamini bowed (7/6 6/4) for their entry in the running facing Victor Ruiz and José García.

Finally, how not to mention Carla Tur Mari and Maria del Pilar Escandell, la women's tournament feel : a pair who had an invitation (WC) and on which he will certainly have to count in the coming seasons. Those who eliminated Mélissa Martin and Meli García in the first round of Pre-Previa are today in 1/8 finals.

The young Lorena Rufo, associated with Marta Talavan, also impressed, the two players offering an easy victory against two experienced players: Piltcher / Alonso.
