September 17, 2025
Alvaro and Pedro Melendez returned to playing together a few weeks ago. For the Spanish brothers, the FIP Platinum in Sevilla is not a tournament like any other, as they are playing on home turf, and the “Melendez bros” made their debut by beating Adrian Marques and Marc Sintes 6-3 6-3 in the first round of the tournament, which began at the Icónico Sports Social Club. There were two marathons on the first day of the men’s draw: Franco Del Bianco and Sanyo Gutierrez defeated Clement Geens and Nacho Moragues (6-7 6-3 6-4), and Aris Patiniotis and Jesus Moya did the same versus Santiago José Pineda and Coquito Zamora (7-6 4-6 6-3).
Today, on the day of the round of 16, the top four seeds take to the court: Paquito Navarro and Lucas Bergamini (1) versus Denis Perino and Nacho Piotto, Momo Gonzalez and Jon Sanz (2) versus Facundo Dominguez and Javi Ruiz, Agustin Torre and Martin Di Nenno (3) versus Pincho Fernandez and Pablo Garcia Rodrigo, and Fran Guerrero and Javi Leal (5) versus the Melendez brothers.
