After a straightforward first set, the second became a tense battle, but Coello and Tapia held firm to win 6-3, 7-6. Their ability to manage crucial points once again proved decisive, keeping their bid for another Premier Padel crown alive.

Lebrón and Augsburger advance

The pairing of Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger continued their strong momentum in Rome, defeating Jon Sanz and Coki Nieto 6-4, 7-6.
