The Ibizan tandem formed by Ramón Rovira and Macarena Izquierdo, directed by Vicent Martínez, has overcome this Thursday the first obstacle in the European Youth Olympic Festival, which is being held in Banská Bystrica (Slovakia). The Spanish representatives advanced to the round of 16 in the mixed doubles competition after beating Moldovans Nicolae Enachi and Paola Ginga.
The pitiusos were much superior throughout the entire meeting. This is indicated by the final marker. The first set was awarded 21-12 and the second, 21-10. Today, the Spanish duo will try to qualify for the quarterfinals. To do this, they must beat a Swedish couple made up of Sofia Strömvall and Romeo Makboul.
At the end of the match, Macarena Izquierdo did not hide her happiness. “We are very proud to have won the match. From the first moment we have known how to dominate. We are very happy”, said the Ibizan.
Ramón Rovira confessed that they are “delighted to be able to play some games one more day and enjoy this great experience to the fullest.” “A very difficult game awaits us against the strong Swedish pair, but we will try to continue giving our best version and we will make it as difficult as we can. Let’s go for it all », he affirmed.
