By midday it would be the turn of Federico Chingotto and Juan Tello. The pair of young Argentine promises has been relegated to the role of 'previous' after the injuries this season, but it would not be an impediment to eliminate Agustín Gómez Silingo and Marcello Jardim. In two sets and with remarkable authority they resolved the first match of four by 6-4 and 6-3.
Without having come from the previous one, but also surprising the locals and strangers, they would achieve the pass Jorge Nieto and Javier Rico.

Juan Martín Díaz and Juán Lebron debut with victory
The highlight of the rest of the day was the debut of one of the new couples at the end of the year. Juan Martín Díaz and Juan Lebrón made an appearance in the midday meeting at noon and they would do it with a good footing.
In a presumably hard debut against Rafa Méndez and Diego Ramos, one of the fashion couples of the World Padel Tour and protagonist of great surprises, Lebrón and Díaz would draw their best paddle to get the ticket for the last eight.
