The round of 16 of the Decathlon Rotterdam Premier Padel P1 opened the Ahoy centre court today. The venue gathered crowds to experience padel in all the ways that the event has to offer.
‘Days like today are the days when we learn the most: not when we win 6-2 6-2’.
As if it were a prediction, Fede Chingotto yesterday highlighted the positive side of tough matches after a difficult encounter from which they came out on top. Today, already in the last sixteen, the number 2 pairing has shown the strength that characterizes them to turn the page and show that they are going all out in Rotterdam and today, Galan - Chingotto beat Alonso - Gonzalez in two 6-2 sets to reach the quarter finals.
Although all the news about the men's draw is behind the major upset of the day. The Argentinean duo Chozas - Augsburger brought the shocking surprise of the day after beating Di Nenno - Lebron (#3) in three sets in one of the most exciting matches of the day. The youngsters showed composure in the decisive moments, taking the match to their ground after a comeback in the second set and resolving it in a hard-fought third set.
In the rest of the men's draw and also in all the women's, it was the higher ranked pair that won, except in the victory of Guinart - Iglesias, who were unable to finish their match due to an injury to their opponent Teresa Navarro and, therefore, automatically reach the semifinals.
