Coki Nieto and Jon Sanz were imperial this Thursday to eliminate Sanyo Gutiérrez / Momo Gonzalez, the seed 3 of the World Padel Tour Vienna Open!
We knew what Nieto and Sanz were capable of. The two men, victorious together in the Torrent Challenger last season, had already proven that they could form a very competitive duo. Sanyo and Momo suspected that this round of XNUMX against the Spaniards was a trap match, but perhaps they did not think they would be eliminated in the second round in Austria…
And after coming up behind in a tense second set, the WPT Danish Open finalists certainly thought they could get away with another three-set victory. But this time, they came across two players in a state of grace, who were able to sublimate at the best moment to win one of the biggest clashes of the day: 6/1 5/7 6/4.
This success gives them a place in the quarter-finals, where they will find Fernando Belasteguin and Miguel Yanguas tomorrow, who also needed three sets to defeat Libaak and Quilez: 6/2 6/7 6/1.
Like Bela and Yanguas, in the other matches, the favorites have done the job and the Sanz/Nieto pair will therefore be the only ones not among the top seeds to tread the Austrian track tomorrow for the men!
