Bordeaux P2 men's main draw opens Tuesday with Coello and Tapia top-seeded

Premier Padel's Bordeaux P2 opens its men's main draw on Tuesday at the Patinoire Bordeaux Meriadeck, with world No. 1s Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia seeded to start another deep run indoors.

What happens Tuesday

The first round gets going from 5:00 pm local time on June 30 and spills into Wednesday, July 1. Coello and Tapia hold the No. 1 seeding and Alejandro Galan and Federico Chingotto are No. 2, so both pairs carry first-round byes and enter once the early rounds clear. That leaves the opening matches to the lower seeds and the qualifiers, who are fighting through the qualification rounds in Bordeaux right now.

The bigger picture

The tour rolls straight into Bordeaux from Valladolid, where Coello and Tapia just lifted the title. The Meriadeck event is indoors across three courts, with 264,534 euros in prize money on the line and the final set for Sunday, July 5. Get past the qualifiers and the seeds are lined up for another collision at the business end of the week.
