An Erkiaga still as brilliant
On this Thursday evening the jai alai was packed for the Master 3 final between Erkiaga-Zabala and Olha-Lopez otherwise the best back against the best forward. And it was the forward who took over in the first round with a magic Erkiaga but quite poorly supported by a very feverish Zabala lately. Opposite Lopez was Lopez, almost unavoidable with a few flashes of genius. In front of him Olha did his best but he was often a bit short.
In this game in the duel of the stars, Erkiaga, intractable in his offensives took the upper hand allowing his team to win, without shaking too much, the first set 15-9.
Change of face in the second act with a less sovereign Erkiaga-Zabala team. Curiously Zabala had regained some color but it was Erkiaga's turn to suffer a little less well. Suddenly new spaces opened up for the opponent in which engulfed Lopez with relish. In its wake Olha regained confidence and managed some nice shots.
A redistribution of the cards which gave a very tight second round, interspersed with very nice blows on one side and on the other very exciting. And the public was not mistaken there who enthusiastically supported the four protagonists. And in the end a victory over the 15-13 wire of Erkiaga-Zabala who therefore wins the Master3
