Padel World Press - El Alicante Open It is already a historic tournament. The third stop of the World Padel Tour 2019 is being the most convulsive in years both in the men's and women's rankings and, this Friday, in the quarterfinal round she has lived the elimination of the couple number, Marrero and Ortega, before Llaguno and Amatriaín.
And is that the current padel is more equal and more equitable. And in the female category, much more. Couples have more and more equal levels and nobody is saved from having a bad day and paying the consequences.
Alba Galán and Victoria Iglesias, who fell in the second round, knew it well at this Alicante Open, but before that Triay and Sainz or Llaguno and Amatriaín themselves had also experienced it both in the Logroño Open and the Marbella Master. And now, it is the 'Martas' turn.
Because Marrero and Ortega arrived at the Alicante Open as a pair, with the first two titles of the season in their pocket and, against all odds, they were going to see their streak in the quarterfinals of the Alicante Open.
And much of the blame, if not all, they have Llaguno and Amatriaín. Patty and Eli, today more than ever, were going to show their determination not to give in to adversity and they were going to go back to number one in a game of contrasts.
By a definite 6-4, 4-6 and 2-6 pair number five gave the bell of the championship and agreed to the semifinals of the Alicante Open to continue fighting for the third title of the year.
The rest of the day of the Alicante Open
Before, in the inaugural turn, it was going to live a frustrated encounter since Cata Tenorio suffered an inopportune injury that was going to prevent that it could dispute the complete encounter.
A quarterfinals that faced Alejandra Salazar and Ari Sánchez before Bea González and Cata Tenorio, but that would be aborted starting the second set because of an injury to Argentina.
In the second turn of the morning would not yield the couple number three. Triay and Sainz were going to face the surprise Araújo and Riera and were going to set, this time, a great match to qualify for 6-1 and 6-2.
And, in the last turn, Delfi Brea and Maria José Sánchez Alayeto they were going to impose themselves a double 6-2 to Carolina Navarro and Cecila Reiter to return to the semifinals in this Alicante Open.
