First Match National Tournament Reds Gustavo and Aluz Vs Blues Ernesto and Armando
In the first game of the day, the victory went to the reds Gustavo and Aluz by a score of 30 to 24. The reds gave a good game, which was closed until the last ten in which they achieved the advantage. The game at times was rallied by the experience of the 4 pelotaris and they let their experience be seen, but the blue couple seemed somewhat tired at the end, making mistakes, which the opponents took advantage of.
Second Match Women's Tournament Red couple Oihana and Román Vs Couple Gisela and Eneritz .
The second game of the day was for the blue couple 30-24, who played for "note" and made practically no mistakes. The blue couple played very confidently and very concentrated throughout the game, managing to gain distance on the scoreboard until the last ten. During the match, Gisela felt comfortable with the ball, looking for air and the dribble to delay the red defender, who made some mistakes that were duly taken advantage of by the opposing couple. For her part, Eneritz goes out on the pitch knowing perfectly well what to do to keep the ball in play and drive the opponents to despair, a formula that once again worked for her as the red couple was prey to pressure and entered into a very fast pace, the we saw little talk on the court and we even saw them make some mistakes.
First Match of the Betway International Tournament Reds Laloo and Manci Vs Blues Urrutia and Mandiola
In today's first match the victory went to the reds by a score of 30 -27. It was a fast-paced and exciting game, worthy of a semifinal, so the public attending the "ball palace" who registered a very good entry, experienced great emotions. The blues gave a great game where they fought like the greats, highlighting a two-wall Mandiola to get up 7-4, taking advantage of the fact that Laloo could not find his serve because by then he had already taken two short ones. For his part, Urrutia subtracted the serve on several occasions and finished off with his lethal rib, of which we must highlight those made to get 13-10 and another to equalize the score at 23 equal, as well as to have a momentary advantage of 22 to 21. But after 23 equals they had bad luck and perhaps because of the pressure came the errors with a "stick" from Mandiola to get 26-29 and finally another "stick" but time for "Urrutia" who ended the game and with his illusion of play the grand finale For their part, the winning couple of Laloo and Manci played a very good game but they took a long time to find each other in the match because they both made some mistakes, taking short shots and a couple of "sticks" from "Manci" that we don't normally see, maybe they started something They were under pressure, but little by little they got into rhythm and pressed at the right time, taking advantage from 26 equals, so they are already installed in the grand final.
Second Game of the Betway International Tournament Reds Urreisti and Millat Vs Blues Benetrix and Del Río.
The game that closed today was expected to be very tight but unfortunately it was not like that, as the blue couple took the victory by a score of 30-19, achieving their pass to the final. From the start of the match, the blues managed to take advantage, reaching 15-9, which surely put pressure on the reds and was making a dent in their game, since they failed to get into rhythm throughout the game. Urreisti gave a very good game, but the comeback was not enough for him despite the fact that he tried everything, with the great variety that he has shown, since he deceives the opponent very well to define the way in which he should define his shot, although he did not have many opportunities because Del Río took the ball very well. Millat also struggled throughout the game but couldn't find a way to play comfortably and get Del Río to play a backhand. For their part, the winning couple went about their business and as we pointed out yesterday, both were injured by the defeat and went for "everyone". Benetrix was confident throughout the game and achieved his objective of hitting the shots, or delaying Millat so that his defender could enter comfortably from the right. Del Río gave a great game and played well and once again delighted us with that prodigious right hand that hurts and handles it at will.
