We were treated to two little surprises during the FIP Star de Mijas men's and women's finals which took place today.

While they had not lost a set since the start of the tournament, Salva Oria and Rafa Mendez lost after winning the first set against Jesus Moya and Edu Alonso ! The two players, aged 20 and 19 respectively, made a great comeback.

Those who have beat Johan Bergeron and Benjamin Tison in eighth win their 3rd match in three sets in this tournament, and get a place for the FIP Master Final in Cagliari thanks to this victory 3/6 7/6 6/2 finally !

Among the girls, a little surprise also since the favorites and number 1 seeds, Lucia Martinez and Veronica Virseda bowed to Barbara Las Heras and Carla Mesa. The Madrilenians attacked the game with a bang, inflicting a 5/1 to their opponents to win the set 6/3.

From the start of the second round, Virseda and Martinez managed to take the measure of the difficult playing conditions (a lot of wind), imposing their game to pick up one round everywhere. We thought they were on their way to victory but that was without counting the comeback of Las Heras / Mesa, who resumed their march forward, to win in the end. 6/3 3/6 6/2, and validate their ticket to Cagliari!
