All or nothing. Jaka and Peio Etxeberria face a “life or death” duel on Saturday at the Labrit in which they have at stake to continue with options to be in the semifinals of the Couples. The man from Gipuzkoa and the one from Zenotz lost in their debut in the quarterfinals but both ended with good feelings and they need to ratify them in an “intense” duel in which both will launch to the auction.
The man from Baiko has drawn conclusions from his defeat against Ezkurdia and wants to take advantage of the leap he has made from a physical point of view to reach the last day with options. “I looked strong, although I failed in the details”, he highlighted this morning in the choice of material. Jaka believes that if he corrects them and maintains the intensity level “I can reach 22”.
He has changed his physical preparation, which has allowed him to lose weight, and he has had time to carefully prepare for the championship. “I feel like I haven’t been for a long time,” she stressed, so he maintains “the illusion of doing things well.”
Both are pelotaris who do not break with their punch, so they will have to make an effort to hit the serve, subtract well “and take advantage of the first hits where a lot of damage can be done.”
different material
Peio Etxeberria has no pressure. He is in the quarterfinals with the best “and from now on you can win or lose.” He competed strongly against Dario in Azkoitia, but saw how the match slipped away in the closing stages, and he has “a beautiful match” ahead of him despite the demands.
He knows that Jaka will arrive “at the top” of the match and that he needs to be very focused to prevent him from escaping in the initial bars. “He has already been a champion and knows how to play these types of matches,” he stressed.
The selected material is different. The balls chosen by the player from Gipuzkoa have a little more travel on the ground and are somewhat coarser, while those from Navarre have a bigger bounce.
