Portuguese brothers Miguel and Nuno Deus were eliminated in the first round of the Pretoria P1 Premier Padel tournament on Monday. They lost to the Argentine pair Juani Rubini and Maxi Sánchez with a score of 4-6, 4-6. The first set was tightly contested until 4-4, when Rubini and Sánchez secured a crucial service break and closed the set. The second set saw the Portuguese brothers fall behind early due to inconsistency, allowing their opponents to build a comfortable lead with two service breaks. Although the national champions mounted a late comeback by recovering one break, it was not enough to change the outcome. The Deus brothers will next compete in the London P1, the final stage of the Premier Padel circuit before the summer break, where they aim to achieve their first main draw win of the season.
