The 5th pair in the world, Patricia Llaguno Zielinski and Elisabet Amatriaín Armas, creates the sensation of the morning in Alicante by winning their quarterfinals match against Alejandra Salazar Bengoechea / Ariana Sanchez Fallada.
The world's second pair lost in 2 sets 7/5 6/3 in the quarterfinals. A surprise, first of all because Salazar / Sanchez seemed on the paper a tone above. She was one of the favorites to go to the end of this Open in Alicante.
Then we know the Llaguno / Amatriaín pair in a bad situation. It is not in a good spiral, with average performances for several months. To the point where this historic pair is expected to separate at the end of the year.
Could this victory call into question their separation?
