The Veracruz tennis It remains a national benchmark. At some point, Oliver Fernández, Santiago González, who remains active, Luis Manuel Flores, Carlos Palencia, the Ramirez Shark and also Luis Díaz Barriga, among many others.
Today there is a generation of tennis players who are laying the foundations to take charge and take that big step that is required to climb to the best national and international positions, but not only that, but defend with honor the mexican national team.
I say this because it is worth highlighting the presence of three tennis players and two coaches from Veracruz in both the men’s and women’s finals of the Junior Davis Cup and the Junior Billie Jean King Cupwhich will take place in Turkey, from November 1 to 6 next.
Although it seems usual, it is not because it is required to have the level, the experience and international friction to be summoned to an event of this nature.
This is how we wish a lot of success to Nachito RuizCarito Alonso and Natalia Souza, as well as the captains of both the Junior Davis Cup like the tournament Junior Billie Jean King CupCarlos Palencia and Luis Díaz Barriga, respectively.
The competition will be in the category of 16 years and minors to which the best 16 representations in the world will attend, that is, the cream of the category will attend.
To get an idea of how important this event is, it is worth noting that at some point figures such as Carlos Alcaraz (Spain 2018) currently number one in the world of ranking ATP; Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime (Canada 2015), Iga Swiatek (Poland 2016) and Coco Gauff (EU 2018).
Thus, it is an opportunity that surely mexicans and above all the veracruzanosThey will get the most out of it.
The Mexican teams are the following: Junior Davis Cup: Andrew Delgadillo, Ignatius Ruiz and James Portugal. Captain: Carlos Palencia Torre.
While in the Junior Billie Jean King Cup: Carolina Alonso, nicole sifuentes and Natalia Sousa.
Captain: Luis Diaz Barriga.
Spanish rule
After the final of the United States Open that the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz won to assume as the number of the ranking ATP and leave on the third step Rafael Nadalseveral weeks have passed and the resolution of some tournaments that have resulted in the updating of the list of the best tennis players in the world.
Thus, after the defeat of the Norwegian Casper Ruud of the Seoul tournament, the Spaniards Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal took over positions 1 and 2 of the ranking ATP, in a historical and unusual event.
According to the data, this will be the first time that two players of Spanish nationality are placed in positions 1 and 2, despite the fact that several of its members, speaking of the country, have invariably occupied the position of honor both in ATP like in WTA.
Cases of Carlos MoyaJuan Carlos Ferrero Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz; on the WTA, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, Garbiñe Muguruza, but never occupying the first two positions.
Return Red Hawks
They formally announced the return of Red Falcons of Veracruza sport that will surely cover to a great extent the gap of the Veracruz Red Sharkswhich continues to be the sport that the people of Veracruz are most passionate about.
But for a much more classified and select, the return of the balloon professional is good for them.
I’m not a basketball fan, but the show it’s good, very familiar and accessible to the pocket of those who like to see it.
Although the most important of all is that as in the football they are going to remodel the stadium Luis Pirate Fountain With the promise of Tiburones Rojos, in basketball they are going to get their hands on the Benito Juárez auditorium because the Halcones Rojos are back.
Friends, until next time.
