Following the aftermath of the P2 in Asunción, the Buenos Aires P1 kicks off with renewed draws and the lead at stake.
The poster for the Buenos Aires P1.
Ale Galán and Fede Chingotto arrive at Parque Roca as Race leaders after their recent success at the P2 in Asunción. The duo, coached by Jorge Martínez, is the hottest pair on the circuit and seeks to extend their winning streak in Argentina. They will debut against Hernández and Jensen, with a potential round-of-16 clash against Barahona and Alfonso. On the quarterfinal horizon lie Coki Nieto and Jon Sanz, though the Spaniards must first overcome a tough challenge: Maxi Arce and Juan Tello. If they advance, ‘Chingalán’ could face Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger in the semifinals. The ‘Lobo’ and the player from Posadas, who were clearly defeated in Paraguay, have shown they can beat anyone when they regain their inspiration. Additionally, Paquito Navarro and Fran Guerrero are on the same side of the draw, facing their last dance as a pair before going their separate ways.
The biggest losers from the Asunción final were Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia, who, despite the defeat, regained their dominant form throughout the week. The world number ones have sharpened their aim for this test in front of their home crowd. Their path will begin against a qualifier pair, but in the round of 16 they could meet the in-form duo: Edu Alonso and Aimar Goñi. In the quarterfinals, they project a match against Javi Garrido and Lucas Bergamini, which would be the stepping stone to a potential semifinal against Mike Yanguas and Franco Stupaczuk.
**Maximum Pressure for Gemma and Delfi**
In the women’s draw, all eyes are on Paula Josemaría and Bea González. The pair, coached by Claudio Gilardoni, arrive as new Race leaders after stringing together their fourth consecutive title. Although the start of 2026 was shaky, their current level is exceptional, and they will aim to triumph in Argentina before heading to the Major in Rome. They will debut against Riera and Navarro, with a hypothetical quarterfinal against the ‘Alejandras’ (Alonso and Salazar). They are on the same side as Ari Sánchez and Andrea Ustero, who project a quarterfinal duel against Marta Ortega and Martina Calvo.
Delfi and Gemma, during the final.
On the other side of the draw, Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea arrive with mixed feelings. Their consistency is unquestionable—they have racked up countless consecutive finals—but four straight losses to ‘Perlamita’ weigh on the team’s morale. They face this P1 with the pressure of reversing the situation in Delfi’s home country. They will debut against Martínez and Saiz, with a potential clash against Guinart and Virseda, before a hypothetical semifinal duel against Claudia Fernández and Sofía Araujo.
High-voltage matchups, a critical moment in the calendar, and an unparalleled atmosphere. Buenos Aires has everything to be unforgettable. No matter who wins, the passion of the Argentine crowd is guaranteed.
