Antonio Fernández Cano and José Diestro again beat a seed in this Jaén's FIP Gold! It is Coki Nieto and JM Díaz who fall by the wayside this Saturday evening.
In a match of very high level, with exceptional exchanges, exits from the slopes and extended points, Antonio Fernández Cano and José Diestro defeated the number 3 seed, Juan Martin Diaz and Coki Nieto.
Despite losing the opening set 6/3, the 40th and 47th players in the FIP-WPT table continued to put pressure on their opponents, fighting on all points. Dominating in the tie-break of the second set, Fernández and Diestro continued their march forward in the third set. They finally won this very close match, with multiple games decided at “punto de oro” 3/6 7/6 6/4.
The spectators present on the central track of the HO hotel in Jaén enjoyed this magnificent spectacle, with 4 players who are perhaps not the most powerful on the circuit but who offered an extremely interesting match, especially at the level tactical.
Diestro and Fernandez Cano confirm their excellent form of the moment with a new victory against a pair which is ahead of them in the ranking. After Gonzalez / Rico, Ramírez / Yanguas and Fuster / Rubio, it is now JMD and Nieto who find themselves on the mat.
The Spaniards will play a new final of FIP after that of La Nucia and their opponents are warned, they will face a pair that does not let go!
It is now time for the second women's semi-final after the one which saw Iglesias and Villalba dominate Rufo and Talavan 6/2 6/4. To follow the opposition between Araujo / Navarro and Castello / Cortiles, it's just below:
