Since the start of the week, the team argentine seems to be on vacation in these World Padel Championships 2024. Unsurprisingly, she dominates her opponents and generally spends very little time on the track. As for Spain, the differences in level are such that the interest of certain matches can be called into question, because this extreme difference raises questions about the impact on the development of the fell.
And yet, the Argentines Martin Di Nenno (6) et Franco Stupaczuk (7), announced as winners even before the start of their meeting, were almost surprised by the Portuguese Miguel Deus (108) et Nuno Deus (117).
Generally, on the rare occasions when teams argentines or Spanish allow themselves to be surprised, it only lasts one set, before regaining control and putting out the emerging fire. But during the first match of the semi-finalwe saw the Argentinians being pushed around for the first time this week after a first set won quietly 6/1.
Do you know the “scorpion tactic”? once the Argentinians are a little “asleep”, it is time for the Portuguese to raise their level of play and “sting”. Usually this is not enough to cripple an Argentine pair, but this time, against all expectations, the Portuguese pair won the second set 7/6. One would have thought that this Portuguese “venom” would quickly dissipate and that the Argentines would regain their dominance. However, the brothers Deus continued to play very well, supported by an audience who finally wanted a surprise (that would be an earthquake here) in this world.
Despite this, you shouldn't dream too much: the pair Stupaczuk / Di Nenno still had some left under their belt and ended up winning with a score of 6/1 6/7 6/4.
In the second match, Tapia / Chingotto did not do it by half measures and crushed the pair Jesus / Easter (6/0 6/1). The third match did not take place, the fate of the match having already been sealed.
