After big matches during the previas and in particular our national Benjamin Tison who climbed for the first time in the Round of 1 of an Open on the WPT, here are the results of the first round of the main draw of the WPT Cupra Vigo Open 2021.

Many surprises for the gentlemen!

The most surprising result of this round of sixteenths is certainly the victory of Juan Martin Diaz and Coki Nieto facing the seed number 5 and one of the pairs in form at the start of the season: Chingotto / Tello. A clear victory on the score of 6/3 6/4 that very few observers could have predicted!

The other surprise is the victory of Javi Leal and his partner Miguel Semmler who won their match 6/1 4/6 6/4 against Agustin Silingo and Mati Diaz, seeded number 8! The players from the qualifications will play their 8th game this Thursday since the start of the tournament: incredible!

The other surprise is the speedy victory ofUri Botello and Javi Ruiz against Miguel Lamperti and Arturo Coello, yet still a pair in form at the start of the season with two consecutive semi-finals. Few people could have predicted that Botello and Ruiz, in search of results, will win so clearly: 6/3 6/2! We also did not expect that Juan Belluati and Javi Garrido crush (6/2 6/1) the Cano / Diestro pair, yet finalist of the first FIP ​​Gold in history.

All the favorites have not been heckled, we are of course thinking of Franco Stupaczuk and Alejandro Ruiz who stopped the dream of our Frenchman and his partner Teodoro Zapata with a score of 6/4 6/2. The two new associations were there this time, with victories for Allemandi / Lijo and Sanchez / Capra.
