Huge surprise at World Padel Tour Mexico Open with the elimination of the number 2 seed, Ortega / Triay.
Clearly, the end of the season is ripe for surprises! After the few sensations that we were able to experience in Malmö, and the eliminations yesterday in Mexico of the pairs Gutiérrez / Gutiérrez (TS7) among the men and Alayeto / Alayeto (TS7) for the ladies, now it is the number 2 female seed who can pack her bags.
In a match that they had started poorly, Martita Ortega and Gemma Triay were able to come back into the game and we thought they were going to drive home the point. But that was without counting on the accuracy and determination of Victoria Iglesias and Claudia Fernandez who were very solid in the decisive round. The outsiders won 7/5 1/6 6/4 and had the biggest sensation since the start of the tournament in Mexico.
Tomorrow, Victoria and Claudia will face Jimena Velasco and Noa Canovas, who won a huge fight against Sara Ruiz and Araceli Martinez. Final score 6/7 7/6 7/6 for those who beat Alayeto on Tuesday and who will therefore play tomorrow for a place in the last four. A completely new quarter-final which will allow a pair that we did not imagine at all at this level to return to the semi-finals.
Will we have any other surprises this Thursday? Answer right below!
