This is the case of Francisco Bautista, the representative of the Valencian Community, champion in previous years, whom he defeated in the grand final after qualifying in the group stage with two wins and one loss in three games. “In the final Ismael surprised us all, he took strength from his weakness and prevailed in all the partials, winning the match 4-0.”, says Feli, the father of the Ripense athlete. “We are very happy, excited and happy,” he acknowledges.
