Yesterday took place the last meetings of the previa table du World Padel Tour Danish Open in the Royal Stage arena in Hillered. We now know the names of the four pairs qualified for the men's final draw.

The abandonment of the number one seed (Moya / Jimenez) in the third round against Javier Rodriguez and Roberto Belmont finally benefited Borja Yribarren and Cristobal Garcia who got their way (6/0 – 6/3) ticket for a first final draw in Open 1000 this season.

Exempted from the first round, Aris Patiniotis and Emilio Sanchez left no chance to their opponents in qualifying. The Spanish-Argentinian pair have conceded just eleven games in three games, including five in the last round against Pablo Castillo and Alonso Rodriguez.

It was a whole different story for the team made up of Candido Alfaro and Enzo Jensen. The two men aged 28 and 17 respectively had to fight in three sets in the third round before having the opportunity to integrate the main draw. The young Italian was particularly famous against Victor Mena and Mario Huete, showing all his talent to sign the best result of his career on the circuit (7/5 – 7/5).

Finally, in these agitated previas, Francisco Guerrero and Arnau Ayats have meanwhile upheld their rank. The number two seeds delivered serious and solid games until the end of the qualifiers against Guillermo Collado and Francisco Jurado (6/3 – 6/2).

Here is the men's final draw of the Danish Open 2023:

No luck in the draw for Patiniotis and Sanchez who will be struggling with Momo Gonzalez and Sanyo Gutierrez. More or less the same price for Yribarren/Garcia against Capra/Arroyo.

On the other hand, Alfaro and Jensen have a shot to play in the first round against Garcia Barahona, the same for Guerrero / Ayats against Bueno / Vilarino.

The first round begins today for the men's draw, in parallel with the end of the ladies' previas.
