How difficult it was for Ale Galán and Fede Chingotto against the tournament's number 5 seed, Paquito Navarro and Pablo Cardona. They won in two sets, 6/4 7/6, but victory was not far from escaping them, especially at 5/4 in the second set, where Paquito and Cardona saved several match points before coming back into the game.
A new time, The MVP of the match is Fede ChingottoThe Argentinian dominated the match head to shoulders, with, hold on tight: 10 successful smashes out of 10 attempts! Chingo even hit more smashes than Paquito, which shows how excellent he was, despite his 10 unforced errors. But given the playing conditions, it's not that surprising.
It seems that for Cardona and Navarro, the chemistry is starting to take hold. With a little more efficiency on the key points, they could have offered themselves a third set, especially since Galán still committed 15 unforced errors during the match.
Ale Galán should be satisfied, because the playing conditions are ideal for his style. The balls bounce a lot and offer many opportunities for smashes. However, paradoxically, we do not yet feel that he is totally confident.
If he finds Tapia in his diagonal during the final, Galán will absolutely have to remobilise to find the mental strength that carried him so well before the summer holidays.
