The semi-finals have delivered their green and it is Italy and Spain who will face each other tomorrow among men in the final of the 12th European Championship.

Italy eliminates Sweden

Italy and Sweden offered us a huge confrontation in the middle of the afternoon. First an extremely hooked first match where Simon Vasquez and Daniel Windahl ended up taking the best against Andres Britos and Michele Bruno: 6/4 3/6 6/3.

We thought Sweden had a good start for the victory but the Italians gave everything to get back to a point everywhere. Boosted, Riccardo Sinicropi and Di Giovanni inflicted a 6/4 6/2 on Andersson and Brunstrom.

In the third game, Marcelo Capitani and Simone Cremona were also very strong against Bonfré / Stjern. They win 6/4 6/2 and allow their nation to reach the final.

Spain as patron

In front of them, it is the Spanish ogre who will present himself tomorrow. The French will have given everything but they will not have achieved a miracle on the central track in Marbella. Bastien Blanqué and Adrien Maigret, repositioned to the right for the occasion, bowed 6/3 6/3 against Uri Botello and Momo Gonzalez.

Johan Bergeron and Benjamin Tison also scored 6 games against Coki Nieto and Javi Ruiz, shifted to the right. A 6/2 6/4 defeat that gave the victory to Spain.

In the third match, Paquito Navarro, visibly injured and Alex Ruiz, forfeited against Jérémy Scatena and JT Peyrou. The Spaniards were leading 3/1 serve to follow.

Hopefully it's nothing serious and Paquito can hold his place tomorrow in the Open final.

Tomorrow, place for the finals. Spain / Italy for men, and Spain / France for women.

The matches for third place will be played between France and Sweden for men, and between Sweden and Italy for girls!
