It’s a shame that the fantastic show on the track is being interrupted by the rain. The sky of the Saudi capital is once again the main protagonist. This week’s weather conditions have forced several games to be postponed, and Sunday wasn’t even considered in the tournament planning, with the semifinals and the final having to be played on the same day. The rainfall has forced the outcome of this test to be delayed again, the first of the season.
Yet, the semifinals could be played, so we already know the two male couples and the two female couples who will fight for the title tomorrow, Monday. A small dose of paddle for what is being an injured P1 in Arab lands. Taking advantage of the fact that they could finally be played, the girls played their respective games. On the central track, the number one couple, Ari Sánchez and Paula JosemarÃa, are still a lot today for almost any duo. We will have to see if someone can face them, but their regularity and ability to move forward as if nothing is preceding.
The first set was a great warning that the ranking leaders want to keep their position for another season. ‘Rosco’ manual to some SofÃa Araujo and Marta Ortega, they could do little in this section. They got up and matched the shots, but Ari and Paula sealed with a break their pass to the final. One more. Nothing to do with the other semifinal, which was much more matched and tense. The reunion of the ex, Bea against Delphi, Gemma against Claudia, two doubles that aspire to fight for number one and that had their first assault this year. Authentic great game who lived in Riyadh, with triay and break starting better with a 6-4 that brought them closer to the final.
However, the ‘Wonder Girl’ and the ‘Pearl of El Palo’ found solutions to the problems they posed in front. Great version of both to go around the clash. The double duo seems to be, right now, more prepared for the assault on the throne. They will see the faces and Gemma and Delfi will have the opportunity to collect their revenge, but in Saudi Arabia, the youth sent.
Lebrón and Stupaczuk end up with the ‘predestined’
After the female semifinals, it was the boys’ turn. Like Ari and Paula, Coello and Tapia had the mission of marking territory from the beginning. In front, the last player who has been able to beat them, Coki Nieto, but this time accompanied by Mike Yanguas. A true wall for the ‘Golden Boys’. However, this time weighed the ability to make Winners of the Valladolid and the Argentine, who dominated the game perfectly understanding the conditions. The solidity of Coki and Mike was not enough, but they close a great participation in Saudi Arabia defending their position in the ranking.
The game of the day was precisely the last one that was played. Pablo Cardona and Leo Augsburger have been the great animators of the tournament. First, they won Jon Sanz and Momo González, but the great bell was to knock Galán and Chingotto in the quarterfinals. They were completely unleashed and willing to be the blow on the table that the circuit needs. However, they were not going to have the simple things. Juan Lebrón and Franco Stupaczuk grow by leaps and bounds and are becoming serious candidates for that fight for number one.
The great moment so that the ‘predestined’ live made them win the first manga. At above there is no one to stop them, and enforced their ability to auction to submit the ‘wolf’ and ‘ray’. Especially inspired by Cardona, who was a nightmare in the Crusader for Lebrón, but you never have to take the Gaditano, who took out his best version on the central track. After that first manga, the couple three turned the situation around. Unlike in the beginning, it was Stupaczuk and Augsburger who charged more prominence in this section. Already at the key moment, they had opportunities to close the Leo and Pablo match, but Franco and Juan’s experience served them to remain alive on the scoreboard.
That’s when the best Lebrón appeared. The ‘wolf’ howled more than ever to get the game. Absolute recital. At this level, they can dream of anything. Recognition also for their rivals, who have given the first notice that they have arrived to stay. It will not be the first time we see you fighting the best. They are a watchmaking pump willing to burst the circuit at any time. The finals, which were going to be played below, were suspended as announced by the organization. It will be Monday, February 17 when they are played, if the rain does not make an appearance again.
