Like during the Las Rozas Open, Marta Ortega and Marta Marrero eliminate seed number 1, Gemma Triay / Alejandra Salazar!
They are back! Marta Ortega and Marta Marrero offer themselves another victory against the number 1 pair on the circuit, that made up of Alejandra Salazar and Gemma Triay.
In a very close match, the Martas showed a big mind to overcome their opponents. While they were down 4/1 then 5/3 in the first set, Carlos Pozzoni's players never stopped believing in it. In a very tight tie-break, Ortega and Marrero were able to convert their first set point on a very long point.
In a second set that was also very hotly contested, the Marta ended up breaking their opponents 5/4 on a punto de oro which offered them a deserved semi-final in view of the mentality they showed today.
Tomorrow a new big fight awaits them against Delfi Brea and Tamara Icardo, who made short work of Patty Llaguno and Virginia Riera: 6/0 6/1!
