Salazar / Triay vs Brea / Icardo

Third semi-final in 2021 for Delfi Brea and Tamara Icardo who created the sensation by beating Alejandra Salazar and Gemma Triay, seeded number 1. The outsiders prevail 6 / 4 7 / 6 in a very intense match!

Llaguno / Riera vs Josemaria / Sanchez

After impressing at the start of the year, Paula Josemaria and Ariana Sanchez are experiencing a little halt. Today, they have been subjected to the law of a pair walking on water: Patty Llaguno and Virginia Riera. The winners of the Vigo Open prevail 7 / 5 6 / 4.

Marrero / Ortega vs Alayeto / Alayeto

It was the most balanced match on paper and it offered a very intense encounter between two pairs who are having a little trouble playing the leading roles in 2021. Stronger in the hottest moments, Marta Ortega and Marta Marrero a two hanging sets are required: 6 / 4 7 / 6. They will play their first semi-final of the year tomorrow! They will have the opportunity to take their revenge against Brea / Icardo.

Gonzalez / Sainz vs Las Heras / Mesa

No surprise in this match where Bea Gonzalez and Lucia Sainz imposed their ranking against Carla Mesa and Barbara Las Heras. Overwhelmed by the ball speed and precision of their opponents, Jorge de Benito's players bow 6 / 3 6 / 1.

Di Nenno / Navarro vs Belluati / Garrido

Archi-dominated at the start of the meeting, Martin Di Nenno and Paquito Navarro gradually nibbled away their delay to end up winning the first round in an exceptional tie-break. Galvanized by the victory of the first set, Paquito and Martin flew over the rest of the meeting against Belluati and Garrido who had clearly taken a stick behind the head. They impose themselves 7 / 6 6 / 1 and confirm their good shape at the moment.

Gonzalez / Rico vs Capra / Sanchez

It is the most contested game of the day. Finally, a little surprise since they are Javi Rico and Momo Gonzalez that are needed 6/1 6/7 6/2. The young Spaniards will have delivered a very solid performance and they offer themselves a first semi-final together. The first of Andalusian Momo Gonzalez's career!

Belasteguin / Gutierrez vs Ruiz / Stupaczuk

The beautiful between two of the best pairs at the start of the season gave us another very high level meeting.
