 Arce and Tello make a strong start 

For their  second tournament together ,  Maxi Maple  et  Juan Tello  They pulled off one of the first major upsets of the week in Paraguay. Very solid in the exchanges, aggressive in key moments and more consistent than their opponents, the Argentinians quickly took control of the match.

They won the first set thanks to a perfectly executed break, before concluding the match in a  tie-breaker  tense in the second act. Facing them,  Paquito Navarro  et  Fran Guerrero  They never really found their rhythm or their understanding on the field.

The former player and now coach  Seba Nerone , who was on the opposing bench, had quickly identified the difficulties faced by the Spanish pair during the match:

«  Paquito is desperate. When you play on Paco and then on Fran, all the pressure is on him.  »

A phrase overheard during a change of ends, which sums up well the unease seen on the track.
