Javier Marta will not be able to be in one of his favorite competitions this coming weekend. The man from Teruel will miss the Spanish Senior Championship, which is held in the Malaga town of Benalmádena, due to some discomfort that he has had in his knee for several months. The Badminton Teruel player, who has reached the doubles final for two years in a row at this event, resigned from participating in this year’s edition and began to evaluate the possibilities of undergoing surgery to end the nightmare that the injury is causing him. .
Javier Marta knows well what it is to compete in a Spanish Master’s Championship, both in individual and doubles. In recent years, the man from Teruel has done so quite successfully, as he has managed to place himself among the best players in the country thanks to his performance at the national event.
Two years ago, Javier Marta was crowned Spanish Senior champion in Vitoria along with his partner Eduardo Marco. The Aragonese were the best of the weekend and were able to achieve a victory that they touched again with the tips of their fingers last year in Gijón. Marta and Marco fell in the final against the same rivals they had beaten a year before, Iván Gallardo and Héctor Tobar.
In the individual section, the man from Teruel advanced to the quarterfinals in 2021 and dropped out one round earlier in the last edition. Five editions ago, in 2018, Marta was eliminated in the semifinals of the men’s A2 category.
On this occasion, the player from Teruel will have to follow the tournament from home despite being the great favorite to become champion of the men’s doubles along with Eduardo Marco, since his rivals in recent years have moved up in age category and are no longer He was in the same picture as the Aragonese.
However, Javier Marta’s knee is still not in a position to withstand a weekend as intense as that of a Spanish Championship. The man from Teruel is seriously considering undergoing an operation to be able to continue playing badminton without suffering as much pain as that which currently keeps him away from the courts.
