Salazar/Alonso arrive as the more structurally sound pair: Salazar’s veteran right-side control plus Alonso’s left-side finishing should dictate tempo in Valladolid’s typically quick, lively conditions. Rodriguez/Dal Pozzo can compete if they create chaos and shorten points, but they’ll need sustained service pressure and clean transition volleys. Prediction: Salazar/Alonso in 2, with a tighter second set if the underdogs win net-rush exchanges early.
