The favorites have suffered but they will all be there for the semi-finals of this WPT Paraguay Open, with one big exception.
At men's
Galan/Lebron 3/6 0/4 ab. Chingotto/Garrido
Definitely, it's a complicated start to the season for the world numbers 1. After the Galan's wound, the episode of the final in Chile, Juan Lebron was forced to give up in the 2nd set in the quarterfinals. Injured in the right forearm during the 8th, he could not finish the game. Chingotto and Garrido take advantage of the windfall to climb into the half.
Ruiz/Gonzalez 7/6 6/2 Yanguas/Arroyo
A quarter-final between two pairs that could evolve in the coming weeks and a qualification of the Malagueños.
Fernandez/Diestro 6/7 3/6 Coello/Tapia
The number 1s in the Race suffered to overcome a pair that plays the spoilsports on this South American tour.
Libaak/Augsburger 3/6 2/6 Stupa/Di Nenno
The young nuggets stop facing one of the strong pairs of this beginning of the season. But as usual, the game offered us some nice points including thereof
In women
There too the favorites pass in half not without difficulties.
Sanchez/Josemaria 7/6 6/3 Sainz/Osoro
Brea/Araujo 6/1 6/2 Guinart/Rodriguez
Faced with the surprise of this Open, Delfi and Sofia left only crumbs. This pair is in good shape and should quickly rise in the rankings.
Ortega/Gonzalez 6/4 4/6 6/4 Talavan/Rufo
We almost had a big surprise, indeed Béa and Martita were trailing 1-4 in the 3rd set and it was to the mind that they came back to finally win.
Riera/Icardo 4/6 5/7 Salazar/Triay
The “Triazar” pair are in the semi-finals, but there too they had to be picked up. Tamara Icardo is back to her best after suffering a wrist injury last season.
