One week after their promising run at  Pretoria P1 ,  Alejandra Salazar  et  Aranza Osoro  failed to confirm. The 8th seed of the  London P1  was heavily eliminated in her first match by  Beatriz Caldera  et  Carmen Goenaga which established themselves in just  class  on the uncontested score of  6 / 1 6 / 1 .

An association hampered after an encouraging start

Their new partnership had, however, started perfectly in South Africa.

Semi-finalists in Pretoria, Salazar and Osoro notably secured a landmark victory against  Marta Ortega  et  Sofia Araújo suggesting a duo capable of competing with the best pairs on the circuit.

But in London, the dynamic has completely reversed.

Caldera and Goenaga dominate from start to finish

From the first games,  Beatriz Caldera  et  Carmen Goenaga  took control of the match.

More aggressive, more consistent and much more effective in the important moments, they left no chance for the 8th seed.

The statistics perfectly illustrate their dominance. The Spanish women converted  71% of their break points while Salazar and Osoro did not transform  no  of their opportunities.

Even more revealing, Caldera and Goenaga won  58% of points played on comeback games , proof of their total control over the match.

In the end, the score of  6 / 1 6 / 1  perfectly reflects the nature of a one-sided match.

A painting that opens

In the next round, they will face the winners of the duel between the qualifiers.  Noemi Aguilar / Letizia Manquillo  et  Noa Cánovas / Eulalia Rodriguez .

In the event of another victory, a quarter-final against  Ari Sánchez  et  Andrea Ustero  could wait for them.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
