Doha, Qatar: Argentina defended the Men’s World Padel Championship title in a dramatic tiebreaker in Doha yesterday, defeating Spain 2-1.
In the decisive third match, Leandro Augsburger and Valentin Gomez Libaak kept the spectators on the edge of their seats at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex, overcoming Spain’s Miguel Yanguas and Francisco Navarro in a gripping three-set battle.
The Argentine duo rallied from a set down to take the victory, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6, in a nerve-wracking tiebreak.
In the thrilling showdown last night, Spain struck first with Arturo Coello and Javier Nieto delivering a dominant performance against Argentina’s Franco Stupaczuk and Martin Di Nenno to win 6-1, 6-2 in just under an hour.
However, Argentina quickly bounced back in the second match to draw level.
