Salazar played her first competitive match in three months on Thursday in Tampere, debuting with the Portuguese Araujo at the PadelOne Arena as the three-seed.
In a tournament where Paula Josemaria and Ariana Sanchez are missing because of an injury to the latter player, the top three remaining couples are had straightforward victories at centre court.
This week will be a great opportunity for those duos to make up ground on the number ones, who are several thousand points clear at the top of the rankings.
