The TOP10 Iberdrola playoff weekend left great emotions and also defined which teams will face each other in the grand final: Rinconada Sevilla and Recreativo IES La Orden will meet again for the third consecutive year in the battle for the double-legged title. Unlike last year, this time the home court factor is on the side of the Huelva team, who beat Arjonilla 6-1, while the Rinconeros beat Ravachol Pontevedra by the same result. However, the balance of sets won and lost puts Recreativo IES La Orden ahead on this occasion when choosing where to play each day.
The duel between the two Andalusian clubs (of three present between both semifinals) began with a resounding victory by Abián/Ojeda over Villalta/Lara (11-10, 11-5 and 11-7) and continued with another impressive victory for the duo women’s Ojeda/Santos versus Martínez/Teruel (11-6, 11-7 and 11-3). The men’s doubles made it 2-1 overall for the locals after Suárez/Pérez were defeated in an exciting comeback by Baschwitz/Monroy (7-11, 8-11, 11-9, 11-6 and 11-10 ).
In the individual rounds, Recreativo IES La Orden sought excellence to try to win and at the same time achieve a result so comfortable as to earn the opportunity to choose the order of the venues in the final. Thus, in the number 2 singles Telma Da Silva defeated Sonia Martínez in the women’s event (11-7, 11-9 and 11-7) and Christopher Vittoriani did the same with Tomás Toledano (11-11-9, 11-8 , 7-11 and 11-6). After that, the locals closed the final 6-1 with the victories of Vivien Sandorhazi over Cristina Teruel (11-8, 11-4 and 11-2) and Pablo Abián over Ernesto Baschwitz (11-10, 11-7 and 11 -6) in a match that gives way to the dispute of their fourteenth league final.
The tone was similar in the confrontation between Rinconada Sevilla and Ravachol Pontevedra. The locals came out with the heavy artillery also looking to put the home court factor on their side facing the finals. The match began almost doomed when the Sevillians added three victories in the doubles. Piris/Leal beat Fernández/Eileen (11-7, 9-11, 11-9 and 11-7) in the mixed doubles while in the women’s doubles it was Corrales/Leal who got rid of Carbón/Álvarez (11-4, 11-4 and 11-7). Meanwhile, on the adjacent court the locals also participated in the men’s doubles with Pérez/Piris against Brea/Salgueiro (11-4, 11-4 and 11-5).
In the first singles, the Sevillians continued with the same overwhelming trend and closed the women’s event with the help of Beatriz Corrales against Laura Álvarez (11-7, 10-11, 11-4 and 11-8) and the men’s event with the victory of Sacha Leveque stops Manuel Brea (11-7, 11-6 and 11-5). With this 5-0 it seemed that Rinconada Sevilla had everything done to choose the home court factor in the final, however they lost in the last round the women’s singles in which Georgina Eileen defeated Wei Xu (9-11, 9-11 and 5-11) and added Thomas Fourcade’s last victory against Gabriel Fernández (10-11, 8-11, 11-7, 11-5 and 11-3).
