After a week full of excitement and great matches, the XXXth Edition of the Absolute Spain Championship closed in style ... With the dispute of two spectacular finals, which were defined in both cases in three sets.
Padel World Press .- In a magical and unforgettable day, full of images and points to remember, all the fans present at the facilities of the Pádel Club La Moraleja could enjoy two exciting meetings and, of course, exceeded the best expectations.
In the Men's Draw, the great favorites asserted their role but, of course, they did not have anything simple. Hard commitments to Bardasco-Rubio, Gomariz-Garcia Diestro were the foretaste of what was to come in the clash of struggle for the title. In it, Jacobo Blanco-Adrián Blanco was measured, two players who go through a great moment and who surprised their own and strangers by their rapport on the track.
Maybe a little tired by the great wear they suffered in the semi-final clash, Paquito Navarro and Willy Lahoz were forced to not lift their foot off the accelerator at any time to sign the first heat in the tie break. Already in the second set, Paquito and Willy imposed their law with more authority and certified the triumph by 7-6 and 6-2.
With this victory, the young Sevillian will note in his record one of the few titles that still lacked while, in the case of Lahoz, will add his fourth wound in this competition (after the achievements in 2000, 2003 and 2006).
A duel of heart attack
The outcome of the Women's Draw could not have been more spectacular. With two very different parts, in the first 75 minutes the domain went to Patty Llaguno and Eli Amatrian. The current 1 number of the world played without errors, they were very firm in the network and they knew how to maintain patience from the bottom.
Everything seemed to indicate that the balance would tip on their side since the scoreboard reflected 2-6 and 2-4 in their favor ... They were with morale through the roof; his rivals had not found their best feelings. Alejandra Salazar and Icíar Montes looked at each other, encouraged each other, but they didn't finish offering their true image ... Until the seventh game arrived.
That was the turning point, the moment in which everything began to change ... A wrong right, two balloons that go out, a rest to the network. Four almost consecutive errors caused the nerves to settle in the corner of Patty and Eli. The doubts arose, they did not show so much security at the time of going up to press ... And the forces were leveled.
With 2-6, 7-5 and 5-3, Icíar Montes had his serve to close the match ... And he did not miss the opportunity. A parallel volley Alejandra gave way to the two Madrid fists clenched, looked at the sky and merged into a hug ... Champions of Spain 2014, made it very clear that this year the female paddle will give us many surprises and joys during the present season.
For something it is said that this tournament is the great party of the Spanish paddle! What we have seen during these seven days has been really spectacular.
