Ortega and Marrero say goodbye to the top

Marta Ortega and Marta Marrero split up. It's official: The world numbers one decide not to play together anymore in 2020. If we announced it to you in preview a few days ago, it's done.

A separation that amazes observers, because as Marta Ortega puts it so well, the Martas separate while they are at the top of the world hierarchy, finishing in first place in the world.

This story necessarily reminds us of this separation among the gentlemen between Paquito and Lebron (Information not yet official), but also and especially last year with the separations of Marrero and Salazar when they had an incredible season with a victory in the 2019 Final Master.

If this time, Marta Marrero must bow to her former partner Alejandra Salazar in the final of the WPT Master 2020, the Martas have delivered an exceptional season. And Marta Ortega, her partner in 2019, does not really understand this choice of her now former partner:

Sometimes we say that it is better to say goodbye when we are at the top (Even if I do not share it).
No one can take away our first place in the world.
Thank you Marta Marrero for having accompanied me on this incredible adventure.

Marta Marrero should play with the left-hander Paula Josemaria. In the opinion of some close to Marta Marrero, this change is risky. But isn't it a player who likes to put herself in danger? Already at the end of 2018, we found the separation between Salazar / Marrero, rather strange. We are almost under the same conditions here.

For Marta Ortega, if there too, for the moment the players have not yet announced the unions since the time of the divorces has not yet been fully announced, we should see a first for Martita. An association with a player younger than her: Bea Gonzalez. The latter would therefore separate from her friend Delfi Brea who should play with the Portuguese Ana Catarina Nogueira.
