Barandika--Sorozabal quiet
This first evening of the Master 2 opposed new pairs to Saint-Jean: Barandika-Sorozabal against Tambourindegui-Zabala. The first exchanges are balanced up to 5-5. No big flights but a tight game. Before the downpour suffered by Tabourindegui-Zabala. The score goes to 7-12. Still nothing to ignite but a Zabala next to his pumps. Incomprehensible for this rather well-rated player. But the score is there which swells inexorably up to 15-9 in favor of Barandika-Sorozabal, the man in the form of the moment and the youngster who is rising.
The second set begins in the same tone with a final setback: 8-2 for Barandika-Sorozabal. At this moment the wind turned. Zabala is gradually regaining his level while it is the turn of his opponents to chain the glove faults for a promising return to 8-7 for the future. Alas, it was just a flash in the pan. It's Tambourindegui-Zabala's turn to suffer another avalanche of points up to 13-8. Decisive difference. Barandika-Sorozabal pocket the second set (15-9) and the match therefore qualifying for the final.
But this match, played too much on the mistakes of each other will not leave a great memory.
