Valladolid's big four debut Thursday as the P2 reaches the last 16

The top seeds at the Oysho Valladolid Premier Padel P2 skip the early rounds and start their week on Thursday, June 25, when the men's round of 16 opens the tournament's first big day at the Plaza Mayor.

How the seeds line up

Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia go in as the No. 1 seeds, with Ale Galan and Fede Chingotto seeded second. Juan Lebron and Leo Augsburger sit third after a strong run of results, while Franco Stupaczuk and Mike Yanguas round out the top four. All four pairs were handed direct byes into the last 16, so Thursday is the first time any of them hits a ball in Valladolid.

What to watch

Coello and Tapia arrive chasing more points to pad their lead at the top of the rankings, and a deep run here keeps the pressure on the chasing pack. Galan and Chingotto, who have traded big finals with them all season, are the obvious threat on the other half of the draw. Each seed waits on a first-round winner, so the openers should test how sharp the favorites are after their week off.

When and where

The round of 16 starts at 9:00 local time on Thursday, June 25, in the open-air center court built on the Plaza Mayor. The P2 runs through the final on Sunday, June 28.
