For this first 1/2 final of the day, we were treated to a good opposition among the ladies: Osoro / Sainz (TS2) against the pair Ortega / Araujo (TS1).

A stunning game

After a difficult qualification for the last four, Marta Ortega and Sofia Araujo once again suffered in Alicante. In a stunning match, Ortega and Araujo got the better of Osoro and Sainz.

In the first set, the Hispano-Argentinian pair dictated their game. Fair and realistic, Lucia and Aranzazu kept the same dynamic as in their quarter-final against the Alayeto sisters. They logically win the first set 6/4.

In the second set the number two seed of the tournament keeps the same intensity. Ortega and Araujo suffer and are broken from the start. The Spanish-Portuguese pair is chasing the score and is once again forced to fight to get back into the game. On their first opportunity, Martita and Sofia manage to unbreak and restart the match. Osoro and Sainz are gone! The Spanish-Portuguese pair lifted the Alicante public and against all odds returned to a set everywhere.
