The top two seeds comfortably reach the semis in Zaragoza

Reiter/Navarro vs Marrero/Tenorio

The second stage of the Estrella Damm Zaragoza Open, the Club Padel Zaragoza bid farewell to the tournament with the final quarter final between Catalina Tenorio - Marta Marrero and Carolina Navarro - Cecilia Reiter. Another meeting between these pairings after their recent clash at the Andorra Open. Marrero and Tenorio claimed the first break of the match in the fourth game to lead 3-1. Cata controlled every rally and Marrero brought out her overwhelming smash at every opportunity to then extend that lead to 5-2. The first set eventually ended 6-3. Juan Alday's players had completed half of the task and came out with the same idea in the second set. Carolina Navarro was clearly affected by the knee injury that forced her to retire in Granada and, slowly but surely, Cata and Marta kept chipping away to win 6-4 and confirm their presence in the semifinals yet again.

Galán/Villalba vs Sánchez/Sánchez

Alba Galán and María Del Carmen Villalba put the world number ones, Majo and  Mapi Sánchez Alayeto to the test. The twins, who didn't play in Granada, flew onto court, showing their huge desire to win on home soil. Such was their appetite that Galan and Villalba couldn't even notch up a single game in the first set which ended 6-0 in under thirty minutes. Galan and Villalba looked for shelter from the padel storm they were encountering and they won their first game of the match in the opening game of the second set. With that weight off their shoulders, they began to play better padel and even had five break points in the following game before eventually leading 2-0. But in the seventh game they lost their advantage and there was no looking back for the twins who won 6-4 to set up a meeting with Patty Llaguno and Eli Amatriain in Saturday's semifinals.
