Benjamin Tison and Teo Zapata lost in the round of XNUMX of the World Padel Tour Vigo Open against Rubén Rivera and Denis Perino.

The public present in Galicia expected a clash between these two pairs from the previas and they were not disappointed with a match lasting almost 2:30 hours which ended at midnight.

Led early in the game as during their previas final, Benjamin Tison and Teo Zapata managed to get back into the game and then win the first set 6/4. The second act was also hooked but this time it fell into the hands of the opponents.

It took a third set to decide between the two teams. Rivera and Perino got off to a better start in the decisive heat, with a quick break, but Teo and Ben came back to score and then passed ahead at the start of the final sprint.

The Franco-Spanish pair even managed to get three match points on their opponents' serve at 6/5, all saved by the Hispano-Argentinian pair. At this level, missed opportunities are not forgiving since behind Perino and Rivera regained confidence and won the decisive tie-break seven points to two. Final score: 4/6 6/4 7/6 for the 63rd and 115th players in the standings. They will face this Thursday Pablo Lima and Maxi Sanchez, who got out of the Nieto / Yanguas trap: 1/6 6/3 6/4.

It's obviously a blow for Tison and Zapata who were closer than ever to achieving their first round of XNUMX at an Open du World Padel Tour. Despite the disappointment that will inevitably be present for the two men, they can be proud of their start to the season, marked by two main draws out of three possible!

Now the last tricolor hopes rest on Léa Godallier. The player from Tahiti and her partner Teresa Navarro will face Marta Marrero and Lucia Sainz in the second rotation at 09:00, on track 2. The match will therefore unfortunately not be broadcast but you will be able to follow the evolution of the score via the WPT Marcador.
