Day 3, the stars enchant Miami. Quarterfinals on stage Friday

They were the most anticipated, and they did not disappoint. Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia on one side, Ale Galan and Fede Chingotto on the other, secured their first victory at the motorola razr Miami Premier Padel P1 and continue their journey, which could lead to yet another chapter in an endless rivalry. On the “Juan y Bela” court, Galan and Chingotto needed just over an hour to defeat Alex Ruiz and Alex Chozas (6-1 6-4 final score), while in the afternoon, the world number ones in the FIP ranking overcame Barahona/Garcia 6-3 7-5, after quickly recovering from a break in the second set and closing out the match without issues.

In the quarterfinals, scheduled for tomorrow starting at 10 a.m. local time (3 p.m. CET), the top seeds will face Lucas Bergamini and Paquito Navarro, who starred in another great match today against Campagnolo/Sanchez, winning the first set 6-3 and closing the match with a hard-fought tiebreak in the second. Meanwhile, the “Chingalan” duo will take on Di Nenno/Garrido, who were dominant today against Ruiz/Diestro (6-3 6-0).

Also highly anticipated is the new showdown between Stupaczuk and Lebron against Cardona and Augsburger. Just like in Riyadh, the Cancun champions once again came out on top with a double 6-4 victory in one hour and eight minutes. Keeping the crowd glued to Court 1 was the marathon battle won by Mike Yanguas and Coki Nieto against Tino Libaak and Juan Tello (two hours and 59 minutes of intense action over three sets), followed by the remarkable feat of Javi Leal and Sanyo Gutierrez (seeded 11th), who eliminated the 8th seeds, Edu Alonso and Alex Arroyo (6-3 7-6).

WOMEN The Miami P1 has also entered its decisive stage in the women’s draw, where all the top pairs started with a victory: Ari Sanchez and Paula Josemaria (6-1 6-4 against Merino/Perez), Gijon and Cancun champions Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay (6-1 7-6 against Barrera/Caparros), and the returning Claudia Fernandez and Bea Gonzalez (7-5 6-1 against Eugenio/Rodriguez).

Another dominant win came from Tamara Icardo and Claudia Jensen, who this time crushed Lara Arruabarrena and Lorena Rufo 6-0, 6-1, earning themselves a quarterfinal clash with Triay and Brea. Meanwhile, Andrea Ustero and Ale Alonso—unstoppable today against Nogueira/Fassio (6-1 6-1)—will face Sanchez/Josemaria, hoping to break the curse that has so far never seen them win a set against the world’s number one pair. The Miami Beach Convention Center is gearing up for another spectacular day of padel action.
