This morning the women's quarter-finals of the Vuelve A Madrid Open of the World Padel Tour, and we witnessed a huge surprise.
This is an unexpected result. Admittedly, Ariana Sanchez and Alejandra Salazar had a little trouble starting yesterday, but one could not think, after their faultless at the Estrella Damm Open, that they could get eliminated in the quarter-finals two weeks later.
All the credit goes to Sofia Araujo and Virginia Riera, who started the game without complex and kept a very high level of play, to eliminate the seed number one in two sets 7 / 6 6 / 3. The players coached by Gabi Reca reach Open semi-finals for the first time, and they will face tomorrow Ortega / Sanchez, who dominated the Alayeto twins 6/3 3/6 6/1.
In the clash between the seeds 4 and 5, they are Patty Llaguno and Eli Amatriain who created a little surprise by dominating Gemma Triay and Lucia Sainz, finalists last week, at the end of a very hungry match: 3/6 6/3 6/4.
They will face the number 2 seed tomorrow in the semi-finals: Marrero / Josemaria, who dominated this morning Virseda / Villalba 6 / 2 7 / 5.
