Forty-three days after the magnificent final of the Cuatro y medio in Navarra that Jokin Altuna and Unai Laso played at Labrit de Pamplona behind closed doors on the morning of San Fermín, both are once again rivals on a field, this time at Atano III of San Sebastián.

The duel gathers the rest of the possible ingredients, all good and also changes distance. It goes from bounded to hand-to-hand throughout the court, the true measure according to many, especially for the classics. The night-time festival begins at 10 p.m. with an opening act for couples and ETB1 will connect between 10.20 p.m. and 10.30 p.m.

Under the 800-viewer cap Aspe and Baiko are working with right now, it’s a question of how many viewers they’ll be able to muster when most of this summer’s festivals have been around 200.

Altuna III and Laso oppose different styles within the current obligation to take risks and play at a high pace, non-negotiable characteristics even for the most cerebral. The Amezketarra will try to find a pause point as far as possible against an impulsive and courageous opponent who exudes confidence.

They will play with the old raisin line, at the height of six and a half instead of seven. And the champion will not concede advantage in the serve to the aspirant.
