Marta Ortega's 60.5-point masterclass leads women's sweep as men's bracket sees stunning upsets
The Newgiza P2 2026 quarterfinals delivered precisely what fantasy padel fans crave: dominant performances, three-set thrillers, and a women's bracket that absolutely punished the scoreboard. Marta Ortega Gallego exploded onto the fantasy leaderboard with a tournament-leading 60.5 FP, while her partner Martina Calvo Santamaria chipped in 48.7 FP as they dismantled Claudia Fernandez and Sofia Araujo 6-0, 4-6, 6-2. Meanwhile, Miguel Yanguas and Franco Stupaczuk engineered a stunning comeback in the men's draw, outlasting Lucas Bergamini and Javier Garrido 6-3, 3-6, 1-6 to claim the day's most dramatic victory.
The men's quarterfinals told a tale of two stories: surgical precision and dramatic reversals. Alejandro Galan and Federico Chingotto announced their presence with a ruthless 6-4, 6-0 dismantling of Javier Garcia and Jose Jimenez, though curiously neither player registered meaningful fantasy points—a reminder that dominance doesn't always translate to PP scoring. Jon Sanz and Jorge Nieto proved far more prolific, combining for 61.8 FP in their 6-4, 7-5 victory over Francisco Navarro and Francisco Guerrero, with Nieto's 31.5 FP making him the fifth-highest scorer of the day.
The real fireworks came in the two three-set affairs. Edu Alonso and Juan Tello pulled off a stunning upset against Enzo Jensen and Luis Hernandez, storming back from a first-set loss to win 4-6, 6-2, 4-6 despite their opponents accumulating 47.6 combined FP. Even more dramatic was Miguel Yanguas and Franco Stupaczuk's reversal against Lucas Bergamini and Javier Garrido: down a set and trailing, they roared back to win 6-3, 3-6, 1-6, with Yanguas's 36.1 FP and Stupaczuk's 29.7 FP combining for a fantasy explosion that rewarded believers.
| # | Player | FP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Miguel Yanguas | 36.1 |
| 2 | Jorge Nieto | 31.5 |
| 3 | Jon Sanz | 30.3 |
| 4 | Franco Stupaczuk | 29.7 |
If the men's bracket was unpredictable, the women's was a masterclass in dominance. Gemma Triay Pons and Delfina Brea Senesi set the tone with a 6-0, 6-2 annihilation of Marina Guinart and Veronica Virseda, with both players delivering consistent 28.3 FP—the fourth and tenth highest scores of the round respectively. Ariana Sanchez Fallada and Andrea Ustero Prieto followed suit, dispatching Claudia Jensen and Tamara Icardo Alcorisa 6-1, 7-6(6) with Ustero's 34.2 FP anchoring a clinical performance.
The standout performance came courtesy of Marta Ortega Gallego's 60.5-point tour de force. Playing alongside Martina Calvo Santamaria (48.7 FP), Ortega's three-set victory over Claudia Fernandez and Sofia Araujo delivered the tournament's highest individual score by a comfortable margin. Meanwhile, Beatriz Gonzalez Fernandez and Paula Josemaria Martin capped the women's quarterfinals with a statement 0-6, 1-6 destruction of Carmen Goenaga Garcia and Beatriz Caldera Sanchez, both registering identical 29.2 FP in a display of complete control.
| # | Player | FP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marta Ortega Gallego | 60.5 |
| 2 | Martina Calvo Santamaria | 48.7 |
| 3 | Andrea Ustero Prieto | 34.2 |
| 4 | Beatriz Gonzalez Fernandez | 29.2 |
| 5 | Paula Josemaria Martin | 29.2 |
The gender gap in scoring was pronounced: the top women's player (Ortega's 60.5) outscored the top man (Yanguas's 36.1) by 24.4 points, suggesting women's matches generated either more point volume or higher-impact rally play. Three-set thrillers favored the winners considerably—Alonso/Tello and Yanguas/Stupaczuk both earned healthy fantasy returns despite grueling contests, while Jensen/Hernandez and Bergamini/Garrido were punished for their losses despite strong individual performances. The data whispers a clear lesson: close matches don't necessarily reward losing players proportionally.
