Premier Padel, surprise in Giza: Navarro / Tello immediately out

The number two of the seeding, making their debut in Egypt as a new couple, fall in the second round against the Spaniards Goenaga / Ortiz. Next the other big names

Surprise in Giza. Paquito Navarro and Juan Tello, one of the favorite tandems to win the tournament, go out in the second round, or the first game played after the bye of the first. From number two in seeding, the Spaniard and the Argentine – making their debut as a new couple – are eliminated by the Iberians Goneaga / Ortiz with a clear 6-2 6-3. Navarro and Tello, veterans of the splits with Martin Di Nenno and Federico Chingotto, leave the Egyptian P1 with a slew of regrets.

Forward the big ones

In Giza the fields have the names of the Pyramids. The central is the “Cheops stadium” the other two are Chefren and Micerino. Padel dictates the law in the city also famous for the Great Sphinx. The central facility can accommodate about 2000 people, the other two about 500. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the players took to the field for the first two rounds.
