Qualification for the semi-finals of World Padel Tour Alicante Open 500 will have been difficult for Sofia Araujo and Martita Ortega.

Indeed, those which are the favorites of the competition since the withdrawal of Delfi Brea on injury had all the difficulty in the world to get rid of Bea Caldera and Veronica Virseda.

After losing the first set 6/3, the Portuguese and the Spaniard were forced to fight hard in a second set which they finally won in the tie-break. Behind, trailing 2/0, they were able to take the lead once again and come away with the victory: 3/6 7/6 6/2.

Tomorrow, Sofia and Martita will be opposed to Lucia Sainz and Aranzazu Osoro who delivered a very strong performance today against the Alayeto twins: 6/4 6/3.

The other semi-final will oppose the surprise pair of the tournament, Fernandez / Bidahorria, who perfectly knew how to take advantage of the withdrawal of Brea / Gonzalez, and the seeded 5, Icardo / Riera.
