In the tournament preceding the Amsterdam Open, at the Madrid Master, surprises were daily, and the proof is that only one of the first eight couples, male and female, reached the semifinals and won the final (Ari Sánchez and Paula Josemaría). In the Netherlands, however, only one is not in today’s quarter-finals, Aranzazu Osoro and Victoria Iglesias, eliminated by a couple of circumstances, Delfina Brea and Teresa Navarro.
Of the clashes that are coming in this day today, Navarro-Di Nenno against Belasteguín-Coello appears as the strongest of all, for what is at stake and for the protagonists. Paquito (the public’s favorite) and Martín, are the three in the ranking, who can lose precisely to their rivals today, who have just won in Madrid and who have only lost one WPT tournament this season with Navarro and Di Nenno and with Bela (legend) at her best.
Yesterday Sanyo and Tapia kept their followers with their hearts in their hands, because in the first set they were overtaken by Alonso and Esbrialthough they ended up winning in three sets and at least they are in the quarterfinals, and today they will have eAgainst Álex Ruiz and Momo González, finalists in Madrid. Galán and Lebrón have Chingotto and Tello in luck for rivals, capable of everything, the best and the worst this season, who have had a few weeks of doubts, with technical relief included. The other match, Stupaczuk-Lima against Capra-Maxi Sánchez, also has a crumb because of what is at stake, with Stupa and Lima trying to get hooked again to the four privileged positions.
In women, Gemma Triay and Alejandra Salazar, after a start of doubts, resolved before Marta Talaván and Sofi Araujo, and took revenge for what happened in the Caja Mágicabut today they are going to face a very consistent couple like Paty Llaguno and Virginia Riera. Ari and Paula, who passed with authority, meet Bárbara de las Heras and Verónica Vírseda againwith which they have starred in very different clashes, but they were beaten in Madrid. Clash of numbers one who refuse to miss the train: Marta Marrero and Lucía Sainz against the Sánchez Alayeto Twins, They always compete. The Bea González-Marta Ortega against Delfina Brea and Teresa Navarro completes the lineup, with favoritism for the former to settle her third position in the ranking.
