Martina Calvo's 36.4 FP explosion ignites women's draw while Jon Sanz powers men's side in thriller-filled elimination round.
The Miami P1 Round of 16 delivered pure padel theater as top seeds and underdogs clashed under the Florida sun. Martina Calvo Santamaria's dominant 36.4 FP performance—the round's standout display—headlined a women's bracket that saw explosive scoring across the board. On the men's side, Jon Sanz's 35.3 FP kept pace, but it was the dramatic three-set battles that stole the narrative.
The men's draw showcased the sport's unpredictable nature across 14 sets of tennis. Tapia/Coello cruised past Aguirre/Arroyo (7-6, 6-4) in a tight opener, with both players posting identical 11.7 FP—steady, professional advancement. But the real story was Jon Sanz's explosive 35.3 FP performance alongside Jorge Nieto (32.2 FP) in their commanding 6-0, 6-2 demolition of Gutierrez/Alfonso, a match that looked like a mismatch from the opening serve.
Francisco Guerrero's 34.5 FP led his partnership with Navarro to a comprehensive 6-1, 6-3 victory over Jofre/Castaño, a result that vindicated the 59.4 combined FP gap between winners and losers. Yet chaos reigned in the three-set marathon between Bautista/Campagnolo and Gonzalez/Di Nenno, where Momo (16.3 FP) and Martin (15.7 FP) survived a 7-6(8) first-set thriller to prevail 2-1. Javier Barahona's 17.7 FP engineered another three-set upset against Del Castillo/Vilariño, proving experience counts when tiebreaks decide fates.

| 2 | Francisco Guerrero | 34.5 |
| 3 | Jorge Nieto | 32.2 |
The women's bracket exploded with offensive firepower, delivering four dominant performances that eclipsed most male duos. Martina Calvo's 36.4 FP—highest individual score of the round—came in a surgical 6-0, 6-2 dismantling of Velasco/Barrera, showcasing the kind of clinical tennis that defines top-tier padel. Marta Ortega (33.2 FP) mirrored her partner's excellence, making the combined 69.6 FP gap between these partners and their opponents seem almost unfair.
Paula Josemaria (34.6 FP) and Beatriz Gonzalez (20.8 FP) delivered a 6-2, 6-2 statement win, while Beatriz Caldera (32.0 FP) and Carmen Goenaga (31.4 FP) powered past lower-seeded competition in a 7-6(3), 6-2 affair. The round's biggest shock came from Tamara Icardo and Claudia Jensen—both scoring an identical 33.8 FP each—who dismantled Llaguno/Fassio 6-0, 6-2 in a performance that suggested underdog potential. Marina Guinart (20.6 FP) and Veronica Virseda (20.6 FP) showed perfect symmetry in their 7-5, 6-4 victory, with balanced production throughout.

Women's players dominated the top fantasy scorers list, claiming 7 of the top 10 spots—a remarkable reversal that signals shifting offensive patterns in the draw. Martina Calvo's 36.4 FP represents the round's ceiling for fantasy value, while Jon Sanz's 35.3 FP proved men's competitors can match that intensity. The data reveals a stark contrast: dominant pairings (Calvo/Ortega: 69.6 combined; Guerrero/Navarro: 59.4 combined) obliterated lower seeds, while three-set encounters produced tighter FP distributions, rewarding composure over dominance. Negative FP outputs from early-round exits (Llaguno: -3.3, Jofre: -1.5) penalized those caught on the wrong side of upsets.
