Defeated, but fortunate. <strong>Marcos Gonzalez<\/strong> and <strong>Diego Garcia<\/strong> had lost the decisive qualifying round at the Premier Padel Dubai P1, but were admitted to the main draw following the withdrawal of <strong>Arturo Coello<\/strong> and<strong> Agustin Tapia<\/strong>. Gonzalez and Garcia, the latter having also won the Gijon P2 in 2025, made the most of their good fortune, beating <strong>Alex Chozas<\/strong> and <strong>Juani Rubini<\/strong> 6-4 3-6 7-6. They had trailed 4-0 in the tie-break and saved three match points from 3-6 before securing their place in the round of 16, where they will face <strong>Gonza Alfonso<\/strong> and <strong>Tino Libaak<\/strong>, who beat <strong>Tolito Aguirre<\/strong> and <strong>Pablo Lij\u00f3<\/strong> 6-3 6-4. The other major upset of the day came from qualifiers<strong> Manu Aragon<\/strong> and <strong>Albert Roglan<\/strong>. After losing the first set 6-0 against <strong>Paquito Navarro<\/strong> and <strong>Martin Di Nenno<\/strong>, they turned the match around to win 0-6 6-4 6-2 against the number 4 seeds. Number 2 seeds <strong>Juan Lebron<\/strong> and <strong>Leo Augsburger<\/strong> were also pushed hard, having to come from a set down against <strong>Manuel Casta\u00f1o<\/strong> and <strong>Pol Hernandez<\/strong> before winning 4-6 6-3 6-3 and maintaining their status as favourites, following the absences of Coello\/Tapia and Chingotto\/Galan, and today&#8217;s elimination of Di Nenno and Navarro. <strong>Franco Stupaczuk<\/strong> and <strong>Jon Sanz<\/strong>, the highest seeds in the top half of the draw, benefited from the retirement of <strong>Arnau Ayats<\/strong> and <strong>Emilio Chamero<\/strong> when the score was already 6-3 5-1.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>WOMEN<\/strong> In the women\u2019s draw, number 5 seeds<strong> Marta Ortega<\/strong> and<strong> Sofia Araujo<\/strong>, number 6 seeds <strong>Tamara Icardo<\/strong> and<strong> Claudia Jensen<\/strong>, and number 7 seeds<strong> Ale Alonso<\/strong> and <strong>Marina Guinart<\/strong> all began with victories. The latter pair took another step towards the Finals with a 7-5 6-2 win over <strong>Jana Montes<\/strong> and <strong>Marta Barrera<\/strong>. Thursday will see the debut of the world&#8217;s top four pairs and a large part of the team led by <strong>Carolina Navarro<\/strong>, who lifted the FIP World Cup in Doha last Saturday.<strong> Delfi Brea<\/strong>, the only Argentinian in the group, and <strong>Gemma Triay<\/strong> will open the programme at 12:00 local time (10:00 CET) against <strong>Marta Talavan<\/strong> and <strong>Sofia Saiz<\/strong>.
