Spain is proclaimed runner-up in the Wheelchair Tennis World Cup

The Spanish wheelchair tennis team could not be proclaimed this Sunday champion of the World Cup that was played in the Portuguese town of Vilamoura after falling 2-0 in the final against the Netherlands, repeating last year’s position against his own executioner.

The team made up of Martín de la Puente, Dani Caverzaschi, Kike Siscar and Quico Tur could not beat the Dutch for the second consecutive year, who clearly took the two individual points and once again left Mico’s men with honey on their lips Margets.

Caverzaschi was in charge of opening the final in search of maintaining his undefeated status in the competition, but he could not beat Ruben Spaargaren, number eleven in the world, who defeated him 6-3, 6-2. The defeat forced De la Puente to defeat the current Paralympic runner-up and world number six, Tom Egberink, but he did not give the Galician too many options and took the point by a clear 6-1, 6-3 to give the title to the Netherlands.

This defeat put a bittersweet end to the participation in the World Cup of the Spanish team that returned to get into the final after beating Poland, Malaysia and Portugal in the group stage, and Japan in the semifinals.
