Premier Padel in Rome: the day of the semi-finals

In fact, it is the number two and three seeded couples who have secured the first passes to the first semi-final of the men's draw which will take place tomorrow.

A thrilling victory for Franco Stupaczuk and Juan Lebron , in the first match of the day on the Centre Court, who beat Momo Gonzalez and Jon Sanz (winner of the last Premier Padel Finals) 6-3 6-7 7-6 in the rematch of the quarter-finals of the D1 in Buenos Aires two weeks ago. A very balanced match and decided in the third set, as happened in the D1 in Miami, which confirms the excellent form of the Spanish pair. "Congratulations to Jon and Momo, they are always very difficult to face", Lebron's words immediately after the match . "Against opponents of this caliber, if you let your concentration down for a moment the match becomes tough - added Stupa - but I'm happy because we gave 100% and our harmony on the court is always better. Now let's think about the semifinal".

And their next opponents will be Fede Chingotto and Ale Galan , who in the second match on the Centre Court won 7-6 6-3 over Inigo Jofre and Alex Arroyo , in their first quarterfinal together in a Major. The Chingalan had to raise their level after yesterday's "walk in the park" 6-0 6-2 against Perino-Huete, in a match decided in the tie break in the first set and by the double break gained in the second set thanks above all to a shot that has now become their trademark: the "globe ". "Yes, playing precise lobs was one of the secrets of this match and for that I have to thank Fede - confessed Lebron laughing, after the victory - Now let's think about tomorrow's match and hope to do well in front of this wonderful crowd".

Forty-six minutes and no games lost in the first match, 68 minutes and only four games left on the road in the second. Easy? Only when the names printed on the back of the shirts are Triay, like Gemma Triay , and Delfi, like Delfi Brea , the world number 2 pair that at the Foro Italico aims to win the second Major in a row and continue their approach to the top of the rankings. Up to this point, in the Capital it has gone wonderfully, with less than two hours of total effort to book a place in the semifinals. The duel against Claudia Jensen and Tamara Icardo could have hidden some pitfalls, instead it ended 6-3 6-1 without worries and without risks, in favor of a duo that when they are at the top really have an extra gear.

On Pietrangeli, Gemma and Delfi made things clear from the start, with their padel alternating patience and aggression, guaranteeing themselves a semifinal that already has a certain weight in the fight for the top. Gemma – beaten in the semifinal at the Foro Italico in 2024 – is now sure not to lose points, while Delfi has guaranteed herself the possibility of improving her loot (last year she went out in the quarterfinals). This means that, thanks to Rome, the pursuers will recover ground on the number one Sanchez/Josemaria , forced to defend the title of the last edition and therefore already certain of not gaining anything even in the case of a repeat.

On Saturday, Triay/Brea will be the surprises of the tournament Victoria Iglesias and Marina Guinart , in their first semifinal on the Premier Padel circuit. A luxury achievement that comes directly in a Major, deservedly earned thanks to Thursday's success against the no. 4s Araujo/Ustero, which the two followed up by beating Marta Barrera and Marta Caparros with a double 6-3 . "I love Rome, more than my Seville," Iglesias told her partner, on the bench, after the success. Celebrated with water bombs with bottles of water, like two little girls with a great desire to continue having fun and dreaming.
