Since the start of the tournament, Coki Nieto and Jon Sanz thwart the predictions and display a solid level of play. After eliminating the pairs González/Gutierrez and Yanguas/Bela, the winners of the Torrent Challenger were opposed to the mountain COELLO/TAPIA.

Sanz and Nieto start very strong

Play against the “invincibles of the World Padel Tour” is never obvious, but Nieto and Sanz know it, nobody was waiting for them there, they have nothing to lose but everything to gain. From the start of the game, the ambitions of the Spaniards are clear: they want to be the first to bring down Coello and Tapia.

In the first round, the Spaniards continue their momentum and heckle the favorites of the tournament. Since the start of the match, Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia have been jostled, the ardor and the complementarity of Sanz and Nieto are impressive. Maxi Grabiel's men are solid on their service games and break the Spanish-Argentinian pair. The "invincibles of the WPT" waver and put a first knee on the ground. The underdogs make a splash on the track and against all odds manage to win the first set 6/4.
