WPT Menorca Open – Castello and Osoro once again invite themselves to the semi-final

We don't really know if it's a surprise anymore: Jessica Castello and Aranzazu Osoro reached the semi-finals for the second consecutive time. Like in Amsterdam, the number 6 seed surpassed Alejandra Salazar and Sofia Araujo (TS4). Castello and Osoro won 6/1 5/7 7/5 after more than 2h30 of combat.

Jessica Castello and Aranzazu Osoro had to redouble their efforts in this Amsterdam revenge. However, during the first set, the Spanish-Argentinian pair got off to a flying start, winning the set 6/1.

The Castello/Osoro pair maintained their rhythm and managed a break at the start of the second set. They even had the opportunity to serve for the match at 5/4. However, Alejandra Salazar and Sofia Araujo had not given up. They came up with the score, before winning the second set 7/5, thus adding more suspense for the spectators on court no. 2.

Difficult to predict who would win this meeting. The third set, extremely close, remained undecided until 5/5. It was at this moment that Zazu Osoro and Jess Castello made the decisive break, damaging the Spanish-Portuguese pair.

Second victory for Osoro and Castello against Salazar and Araujo and second semi-final in a row for the number 6 seed. Next match: Paula Josemaria – Ariana Sanchez, for a revenge of the Amsterdam half.
