Olharan-Lopez unplayable
Jean Olharan and Imanol Lopez had written history in the semi-finals by beating Goikoetxea-Lekerika 15-1 in the first set and signing the decisive 15-11 in the second. And they rewrote history in the final against Laduche and Minvielle. With a first act copied and pasted from last Tuesday: 10-1 from the outset then a 15-5 to close the deal. The second round started on the same tempo: 7-1 as an appetizer. But there the Olharan-Lopez precision mechanics got a little jammed, opening a space of freedom to the opponent who came back to 8-5. We thought that the game could then switch. No way. The infernal machine started again for a closing without appeal at 15-5 for a first final in the pocket.
And the worst is that Laduche and Minvielle played well. The duration of certain points attests to this. But Lopez and Olharan show a diabolical precision in the placement and in the realization of the slightest gesture. In addition they are bound by a perfect agreement. A real fellowship. Under these conditions Olharan and Lopez are unplayable. We'll see what the future will say.
