Madrid, Spain – The Mutua Madrid Open will see at least one Argentine team in the men’s doubles final after Guido Andreozzi and Andrés Molteni, alongside his partner Máximo González, secured their places in the semifinals on Thursday. The impressive showing marks a strong day for Argentine tennis, with both teams poised to compete for a spot in the championship match.
Guido Andreozzi, currently ranked 16th in the world in doubles, and his French partner Manuel Guinard, were the first to advance, defeating Romain Arneodo and Valentin Vacherot of Monaco 6-4, 3-6, 10-6 in a closely contested match. The victory came after a hard-fought battle, with the Argentine-French duo overcoming a setback after winning the first set. Andreozzi and Guinard demonstrated resilience and strong teamwork to secure the win in the super tie-break.
Notably, Arneodo and Vacherot had previously upset the top-ranked team of Horacio Zeballos and Marcel Granollers in the round of 32, making Andreozzi and Guinard’s victory even more significant. Andreozzi’s performance continues a strong season for the specialist doubles player, building on a successful partnership with Guinard.
The pair’s chemistry has blossomed since they began competing together at the US Open last year. Their partnership yielded immediate results, culminating in a title win at the Masters 1000 tournament in Indian Wells in March – similarly against Arneodo and Vacherot. That victory in Indian Wells underscored their potential as a formidable doubles team.
Following Andreozzi and Guinard’s success, Andrés Molteni and Máximo González continued the Argentine momentum. The duo secured their own semifinal berth, setting the stage for an all-Argentine showdown. Details of their quarterfinal match were not immediately available, but their advancement guarantees Argentine representation in the final.
Andrés Molteni, a seasoned doubles player, has a career-high doubles ranking of No. 7, achieved on August 21, 2023. As of June 9, 2025, he is ranked No. 23. Throughout his career, Molteni has won 18 ATP doubles titles. He has also represented Argentina in international competitions, including the 2020 and 2022 ATP Cup.
Molteni’s career highlights include reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open (2024), French Open (2023), and Wimbledon (2024). He has also reached the quarterfinals of the US Open in both 2023 and 2024. He participated in the Round Robin stage of the ATP Finals in 2023.
In 2011, Molteni achieved a significant milestone in his singles career by winning the Challenger ATP de Salinas Diario Expreso in Ecuador, defeating compatriot Horacio Zeballos in the final. While primarily focused on doubles, this victory demonstrated his all-around tennis ability.
The all-Argentine semifinal promises a thrilling contest, with both teams vying for a chance to claim the Madrid Open doubles title. The outcome will undoubtedly be a source of national pride for Argentine tennis fans. The tournament is taking place in Madrid, Spain, and the final is scheduled for Sunday, May 3rd. The time difference for viewers in the United States will require early morning or overnight viewing, depending on their time zone.
The success of Andreozzi, Guinard, Molteni, and González highlights the growing strength of Argentine tennis on the international stage. Their performances in Madrid demonstrate the depth of talent within the country’s doubles program. Fans will be eager to see which Argentine team emerges victorious and secures the championship title.
