While the men's qualifications are already over, the first round of the previas took place yesterday for the women at the World Padel Tour Granada Open 1000. The schedule may surprise, especially since the final draw will start today for the men, while eight women's pairs still have a qualifying round to play.

Regarding the results, we saw some very good fights. Manuela Schuck and Patricia Ribeiro overcame the Spaniards Rebeca Lopez and Ainhoa ​​Rico (4/6 – 6/4 – 6/3). They did not have time to savor and were picked by Sara Pujals and Jimena Velasco (6/1 – 7/6).

The scenario was identical for Estela Frances and Candela Lucendo, victorious for their entry into the running of Monica Gomez and Carmen Garcia after a bitter duel (6/4 – 4/6 – 6/3). Sandra Bellver and Arantxa Soriano took advantage of the consequences of the battle to make it easier for themselves in the second round (6/2 – 6/4).

The marathon of the day took place at the very beginning of the day between the Castanera/Negre and Garcia/Castillon pairs. Two very young teams who left everything on the field for more than 2h30 of play, and it was Castanera and Negre who snatched victory (6/4 – 4/6 – 7/5). Unsurprisingly, the Spaniards had no more fuel in the engine against Lorena Alonso and Sandra Hernandez (7/5 – 6/3).

In the afternoon, two meetings stood out. Ariadna Canellas and Ksenia Sharifova lost at the end of the suspense against Raquel Segura and Lourdes Pascual (3/6 – 6/3 – 7/5). At the same time, Maria Eulalia and Ana Fernandez overturned a badly started game against Nuria Vivancos and Letizia Maria (2/6 – 7/5 – 6/1).
