End of the Menorca tournament where we were able to find at the highest level players that we have not seen in this post for some time. Spectacular matches, physically and mentally strong, make a comeback on the victories of Alayeto and Sanyo and Maxi.

Everything started on 10h this Sunday when the pair Sanyo Gutiérrez and Maxi Sánchez faced in the final pair Uri Botello and Javier Ruiz. In this meeting, it was clearly said that 1 numbers were back. After some hesitation a few weeks ago from the 2 players to separate because the results were not present, the choice of a new coach, in this case Oracio Clementi, seems to have solved this problem. During this final and throughout the tournament, we were able to see a very physically fit team and a very regular Sanyo (something that occasionally harmed him). This regularity, this accuracy in the game added to an extraordinary tactic, have overcome Uri Botello in the diagonal. A perfect match, congratulations guys. Score: 6 / 4 6 / 3

The girls took over to continuity. A very complete match with very long points, balls played to the millimeter as well as big strikes. Ari Sanchez and Ale Salazar win the first set 7 / 5. We know binoculars, they do not let go to the last point. The second set turns in favor of the Alayeto sisters, even giving them 2 shots to take the advantage to score ... balls that are played too hastily and that end out. It's the tie-break. 3 set balls for the Alayeto, 2 lost, the third is fly. This will be the click. The third set will be played in a more relaxed way to impose an 6 / 1.

We are really happy to find these two pairs at the highest level, two pairs that remind all players that no, the page is not yet turned and we will have to rely on these pairs in future tournaments until Master of Barcelona.

Thank you Majo for this smile throughout the match that shows the pleasure taken on the field, pleasure found after all these weeks away from the slopes.
