Padel World Press - Sanyo and Maxi will be in the final of the Murcia Open. The number one pair achieved the classification after defeating Fede Chingotto and Juan Tello pr 6-3 and 6-4 in a marathon encounter.
An encounter that, without a doubt, will be remembered for a long time. By intensity, alternatives, points for remembrance and endless reasons, this semifinal has been, until now, the best match of the Murcia event.
A match that would start with maximum equality on the court. Tello and Chingotto demonstrated from the beginning why they have taken the last two Challengers and and Maxi and Sanyo, as usual, proposed a perfect paddle. The result, an ode to this sport.
Everything walked by the sea of parity until, almost without wanting it, the break fell on the side of Sanyo and Maxi. Tello made several unforced errors in his constant search for limits in the crusader with Maxi Sánchez and ended up paying. The break meant the set for numbers one.
For any other pair having set a great set and losing it would have meant the psychological defeat of the automatic match, but not for Chingotto and Tello. They rowed more than ever, multiplied by the track and ripped their rivals. Although it would not last long.
Sanyo and Maxi knew the danger of their rivals and the first change they went to work to return the contrabreak. What happened thereafter can only be explained as one of the best games of recent years. Eternal points, constant variants, track exits and unquestionable defenses plagued the central court of the Palacio de los Deportes until, again, the break of the side of the numbers one fell in the last game.
A victory for 6-3 and 6-4 that knows much more. The move to a new final, the eleventh of the course, after the premature elimination in the Bilbao Open.
Paquito and Lima will fight for the second title
Paquito Navarro and Pablo Lima will fight for their second title. The Spanish-Brazilian couple agreed to the final of the Murcia Open after defeating Juan Martín Díaz and Juan Lebrón for 6-3 and 6-3 in the semifinals.
A meeting that opened the day of Saturday at the Palace of Sports of Murcia and that was presented with the scent of great dates. Four of the best players on the track and one ticket for the last final of the year in play.
So important was what was at stake that, from the beginning, the transcendence of every impasse of the game was felt. Paquito and Lima began firm, serious and without the will to grant beyond what is required and they forced the 'Juanes' to walk on the wire of glory or failure.
A proposal based on minimizing unforced errors, move Juan Martín away from the network and avoid the definition of Lebrón working the transitions of his rivals in the Crusaders. And it paid off. A break mediated the set allowed them to get an advantage to then certify the manga in their favor by 6-3.
In the details, Paquito and Lima had been victorious and they wanted to repeat the same situations in the second set to benefit. But John Martin I had a lot to say yet. He took a step forward, closed the spaces with his volley and, literally, took out the manual of impossible resources to make the match spicy.
And they threatened to match the match. Although it did not last long. They broke the service of Lima and Paquito, they were prepared to strengthen the advantage, but they did not achieve it. The culprits? The Spanish-Brazilian couple. When worse went to them and when more doubts could have, more certainties found their game. They grabbed the carpet, defended every inch of the track and took the first loop to enter the set again.
With the equalizer on the scoreboard began a new game that, unfortunately for the fans, would last very little. They had lost their chance Juan Martín and Lebrón and Lima and Paquito decided to take theirs to the last consequences.. A new break put the point and end to the meeting and gave the pass to the grand final to a couple two who will fight to add the two of two in his ephemeral walk.
