Arturo Coello et Agustin Tapia win the Valladolid P2 in the final against Ale Galan et Fede Chingotto in 3 sets: 6/4 4/6 6/3. This time, we finally got a really big match between the two pairs. You will certainly find some spectacular points on social networks, including a smash by 3 by the door on a counter just astonishing.
Before this match, there was a certain lack of confidence on the side of Chingotto/GalanThe reason is simple: since Genoa, COELLO/TAPIA win all their finals in 2 sets. And Rotterdam had greatly affected the morale of Galan, who had also expressed his doubts.
But in this final, Galan et Chingotto came to the track to win. Their intentions were very clear: take risks and come to the net as soon as possible. And it almost worked.
In the end, a positive winning point ratio for both pairs, incredible points, and only 6 point which separated the two teams. We will remember the 26 smash attempts de Galan with 17 successes, and even the 13 Chingotto smashes with 9 successes, where he surpasses the left-hander in this area Arturo Coello. Definitely, Fede Chingotto continues to surprise us. However, he has made more unforced errors. Is this a concerted tactical choice with Galan and their coach? The future will tell us.
For Coello / Tapia, it is a 4th consecutive victory on the professional circuit. For Galan, returning to the world rankings on the leading duo seems more and more complicated.

We felt that Chingalan forced themselves not to lob because the punishment was almost immediate. But as a result, the volley/volley game generated a lot of errors on both sides. A strange match that we don't often see at this level.
