In the second tournament of the season Gemma Triay and Alejandra Salazar repeat the success of Miami, while Sanyo Gutierrez and Agustin Tapia they achieve the first of the course for their interests. The women’s final was long and complex, and the men’s almost electric and dominated from end to end by the winners.
6-2 and 6-2, with Juan Lebrón unable to successfully defend any of his serves, was the score of the men’s final. The number ones are far from their best form, and neither Galán nor Lebrón found a way to hurt Sanyo and Tapia. What’s more, Sanyo dominated the match with a fast and fierce offensive defense, and Tapia executed the number ones with unthinkable blows.
The winners played a complete match in which they despaired the Spanish, with too many unforced errors due to the need to go to the limit to score points. against a grown Sanyo and a decisive Tapia.
Before, the women’s final was a spinning top of ups and downs of almost three hours of play for a 6-3, 6-7 and 6-1 of the number one against the two, Ari Sánchez and Paula Josemaria. It seemed the match was clear for Ale and Gemma, with a set won and 4-1 in the second. Well no. Ari and Paula’s reaction was so aggressive that they won the almost 85-minute heat, in sudden death, with fright included, because after getting game 13 on track, they were turned against.
The third set remained. 6-1 seems like a walk, but it’s deceptive. Unforced errors by Paula when crossing the net, or by Ari with the volley that she dominates with ease, they left the way open in three sets, and after winning the first they conceded a heartbreaking 0-6. It was the revenge of Miami, but it was not consummated even in the house of Ari Sánchez, who is choked by the couple with whom he has lost six finals.
