The eight best couples in the world ranking debuted on Wednesday (early Thursday morning in Spain due to the seven hours of time difference) in the Major of Mexico (the fourth and last of the circuit)and they all went to the round of 16 although the draw was not completely defined as a result of the rain in the Club Sonoma: missing the Alba-Perino vs. Rico-Gutierrezand the winners they will face Lebrón and Galán, who after not playing the Open de Méxito (WPT) due to Galán’s physical problems, has arrived in time for this penultimate FIP tournament of the year. Those who, despite winning, do not continue in the competition are Pablo Lima and Franco Stupaczuk due to a viral process (which is not specified), the winning couple in the P-1 of the Premier in Argentina and Egypt.
Only Paquito Navarro Y Juan TelloY Momo González and Álex Ruizthey needed to go to three sets to earn a place in the round of 16, which will start this Thursday at 9:00 p.m. at the GNP Stadiumand to the 11:00 p.m. at the Grand Stand. As the WPT and the FIP have a different ranking this year since while the International Federation counts the points of all official competitions, the WPT does not know the FIP tournaments, Paquito Navarro and Juan Tello are currently the second best couple in the worldand although They just signed up for the Mexico Open on Sunday, in Monterrey they sweated ink to continue in the competition: 6-4, 3-6 and 7-5 was the score with which they beat the Catalan Arnau Ayats and the Chilean Valdés.
Tapia and Sanyo, after the failure in Mexico City, goes ahead and today they will have as rivals the couple that eliminated them last week, Lucas Campagnolo and Jon Sanz (6-4, 4-6 and 6-1), with which there will be curiosity on the track. Moyano and Gil advance to the quarterfinals without playing due to the withdrawal of Lima and Stupaczuk, and Maxi Sánchez and Lucho Capra will have to fight with Chingotto and Garrido.
For Belasteguín and Coello, who missed the Mexico Open, the rivals are Lijó and Javi Ruiz, a quality couple but without the results expected of them. Momo González and Álex Ruiz will have Silingo and Belluati as rivals, couples of similar structure, with two lefties in the drive. Navarro and Tella will face each other to Bergamini and Ruiz Remedios, Meanwhile he Di Nenno-Nieto against Rubio-Arroyo, that arrive grown, it is assumed as one of the stellar clashes of these round of 16.
As a curiosity, Mati Diaz (44 years old), who has only played four WPT tournaments this year, reappeared in Monterrey, with the Frenchman Thomas Leygue (20), and with the misfortune that they were lucky numbers one. Nothing to do.,
