Premier Padel Rotterdam P2 tournament

The Premier Padel Rotterdam P2 tournament, held at the Rotterdam Ahoy in the Netherlands, began with the announcement of the men’s and women’s draws. Early developments included a change in the women’s bracket after Tamara Icardo withdrew due to physical issues, leading to Claudia Escacena replacing her to partner with Claudia Jensen.

As the tournament progressed, the competition moved into the quarter-final and semi-final stages. In the men’s draw, Tino Libaak and Gonza Alfonso achieved an upset by defeating seventh seeds Fran Guerrero and Javi Leal, earning a quarter-final match against Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello. Other top seeds, including the number one pair and Martín Di Nenno and Paquito Navarro, also advanced.

The women’s draw has now determined its finalists. Ari Sánchez and Andrea Ustero secured their place in the championship match after defeating the world number one pair, Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay, with a score of 6-2, 6-3. This victory marks the “100th professional final” of Ari Sánchez’s career.

In the second semi-final, the world number two pair, Paula Josemaría and Bea González, defeated Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo 6-3, 6-4. Josemaría and González are seeking their first trophy since the Valladolid P2. The women’s final is scheduled to take place this Sunday at the Ahoy Rotterdam arena.
