In the Male Categories, it should be noted that the debut of the 58 Benjamin couples took place.

With duels presided over by great equality, such as the one that faced Cerván-Hoyos with Blanco-Díez (and that ended with victory for the latter in the spectacular third set), we could say that the biggest surprise was the defeat of Avileo-Díaz ( seeds number 7) against Peralta-Céspedes by a double 5-XNUMX.
For its part, the third round of Alevines achieved that the present public enjoyed several spectacular commitments. In one of them, Otón-Serna and Arbucias-Pallach Ains, heads of series 11 and 18, faced each other in an epic stall, full of emotion and that ended with the triumph of the second in the third set (10-12 ).

In Children, the Round of Sixteenths took place, so that only 16 pairs are still in play. All the favorites, according to the ranking, resolved their matches with relative ease and in two sets ... As far as the Cadets are concerned, it is here that they experienced the biggest surprise of the day, starring Quirós-López. Young Andalusians, who had already overcome the nineteenth seed, gave the bell to eliminate the sixth favorites. Nor can we ignore the outcome of the crossing between the seeds number 14 (Rosa-Mena) and number 22 (Cañas-Botikali Muako-Masale), favorable to the latter.
