How to stop the unstoppable? This is the question we ask ourselves every week on the World Padel Tour. This Friday, Rico and Augsburger's mission was clear: bring down the Incredibles. Despite a tough battle, the step was too high for the Spanish-Argentinian pair.

A victory without forcing

From the outset the tone is set. Coello and Tapia start the meeting timidly, Javi Rico and Leo Augsburg take advantage of it and break the numbers 1. Little by little the machine gets going and thehe Coello/Tapia tornado quickly returned to the game, winning nine points out of a possible ten. The debates are then balanced in the set, but the experience and realism of the kings of the circuit will make the difference. On Leo Augsburger's service, the Hispano-Argentinian pair is too soft, Pablo Crosetti's men are more efficient and end up winning the first set 6/4.

From the start of the second round, Leo Augsburger got a bit scared. In wanting to recover a ball outside the pista, the 18-year-old player falls badly. His right knee seems affected but the Argentinian finally regains the field. Diminished, the young man grits his teeth and his passion remains intact. But again, it's hard to shake the kings of the circuit. Despite a slight fright at 5/3, Coello and Tapia escape without forcing too much and end up winning in 1h23 with the score of 6/4 6/4.

A shot to play for Chingotto and Navarro?

The matches follow one another and look alike for Pablo Crosetti's men. It is already the 40th consecutive victory for the numbers 1. Once again the kings of the circuit were effective in key moments.

This semi-final will smell of revenge for Chingotto and Navarro who lost sharply to the Hispano-Argentinian pair in Brussels 6/2 6/3. This time the conditions are different in Marbella with a pitch and they seem to please 'El Raton' and Paquito who shone this afternoon against the ephemeral pair Galan / Sanz with an easy win 6/2 6/1. This Saturday they will face the Incredibles in the last four. An explosive match. Will they be able to stop the WPT winning machine? Answer tomorrow at 16:30 p.m. The meeting will be followed on the antennas of the Canal + group.
