We almost witnessed the first surprise of the tournament among the men in Mexico. Indeed, Javi Garrido and Fede Chingotto almost took the door as soon as they entered the running.
What a fight! Fede Chingotto and Javi Garrido were forced to dip into their reserves to avoid getting caught out by a pair from qualifying. Dominated in the games, the outsiders Miguel Semmler and Joseda Sanchez played their luck thoroughly and showed unfailing realism as evidenced by the 3 break points converted out of 3 and the 6 decisive points won out of 6!
Despite a cruel lack of efficiency with 4 break points won out of 15, the favorites still managed to get out of a very delicate situation after almost three hours of play!
Thanks to this success they will face Xisco Gil and Ramiro Moyano tomorrow, who made short work of Lijo/J.Ruiz: 6/2 6/2!
