High voltage first round clashes at the Estrella Damm Alicante Open

The World Padel Tour returns with the Estrella Damm Alicante Open, which kicks off with a host of top quality first round clashes in the men's draw. The draw has thrown up some first round matches which could easily be quarter finals or semi finals at other tournaments. One of the standout clashes at the Pabellón Pedro Ferrándiz is between the number 7 seeds Álvaro Cepero - Aday Santana and the 14th ranked pairing of Federico Chingotto - Juan Tello. A match which has gone to the Argentine duo in their last two meetings, having defeated the Spanish pairing in the quarter finals of the Valladolid Open and the last sixteen of the Gran Canaria Isla Europea del Deporte 2017.

The champions of the last two Opens, Franco Stupaczuk and Cristian Gutiérrez, will also have a complicated first round affaire. The number 5 seeds get underway against the winners of the Joma Challenger disputado en Cabrera del Mar, Pablo Lijó and Willy Lahoz. Seba Nerone - Álex Ruiz vs. Ramiro Moyano - Maxi Grabiel and Adrián Allemandi - Juan Lebrón vs. Jordi Muñoz - Víctor Ruiz are also standout matches on paper.

All of these matches will take place on Wednesday at the Pabellon Pedro Ferrandiz, in an action-packed day which fans can enjoy for only 6 euros (4 euros for childreen between the ages of 4 and 14) with an individual ticket or as a part of the weekly pass. You can purchase your tickets here.
