The Players
Men’s Competition
- Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello (top seeds) put on an exhilarating three-set final in the Brussels P2. Their performance showcased the extremely high level of competitiveness and excellence among the top men’s teams. Now, they face the difficult task of winning a second straight tournament in Seville.
- Juan Lebrón and Francisco ‘Paquito’ Navarro, ranked second, aim to find their rhythm playing at home. Navarro hails from Seville, while Lebrón is from el Puerto de Santamaría, close to the city.
- Mike Yanguas and Javi Garrido (sixth seeds) reached the semi-finals in Brussels and are a team to watch.
- Martín Di Nenno and Franco Stupaczuk (fourth seeds) fell short in the Brussels quarterfinals but remain strong contenders.
- A notable debut awaits: Fernando Belasteguín returns to the right side, teaming up with left-side player Juan Tello as the fifth-ranked team.
- The Sevilla P2 promises a different final compared to previous tournaments. Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto will be on the same side of the draw as Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia. These top pairs would only cross paths in a hypothetical semifinal.
