Di Nenno / Stupaczuk in the semi-finals in Valladolid

Martin Di Nenno and Franco Stupaczuk continue their march forward. Riding the wave of their superb week in Toulouse, "Los Superpibes" find themselves once again in the last four of a WPT tournament. They beat the Tello / Ruiz pair in two sets: 6/2, 7/5.

In the first set, when the match was balanced until 2/2, the Argentinians tightened the game to take the service of their opponents and lead 5/2. They then broke their opponents again in a skillfully managed “punto de oro” to win the first set 6/2.

After conceding five straight games, resulting in the loss of the first set, Tello/Ruiz took their opponents' serve early in the second set to lead 2-1. However, they did not know how to keep this advantage for long since the Argentinians quickly came back to score to lead 3/2. From then on, the battle settled again up to 6/5 in favor of the Superpibes. A last game, during which they were very solid and precise, allowed them to break Tello / Ruiz one last time and therefore win this second set 7/5.

The Argentinian pair easily won this quarter-final 6/2, 7/5, confirming that they are among the strong men of this first half of the season. This result allows them to reach a semi-final for the first time here, in Valladolid, where they will face Ale Galan and Jon Sanz, who got rid of the Chingotto / Navarro pair.
