Second seeds complete stunning comeback to reach final
Paula Josemaria and Bea Gonzalez appeared destined to miss the Comunidad de Madrid P1 women’s final. The second seeds won the first set 6-4 before Claudia Fernandez and Martina Calvo responded by taking the second 6-2. Coming off their London P1 triumph, Fernandez and Calvo raced to a 5-0 advantage in the decider and, at 5-3, earned three match points as they pursued a third straight final as a team.
Josemaria and Gonzalez then turned the contest around with an exceptional comeback, winning seven consecutive games to take the deciding set 7-5. Their reward is a final against Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay, who had already secured qualification with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Ari Sanchez and Andrea Ustero.
In-form Nieto and Yanguas set up Chingotto and Galan showdown
The Movistar Arena schedule begins with the women’s final at 4pm CEST, with a tribute to Ale Salazar to follow. A clash between the second and fifth seeds will then decide the men’s title, starting no earlier than 5.45pm CEST.
A 6-3, 6-4 win over Inigo Jofre and Jairo Bautista sent Fede Chingotto and Ale Galan through. Although defeated, Jofre and Bautista ended one of the tournament’s most impressive and unexpected runs. The result gives ‘Chingalan’ a chance to capture their seventh title of the season.
Coki Nieto and Mike Yanguas will provide the opposition after rapidly rediscovering their best level since reuniting. Following their appearance at the FIP Gold Belgrade, they reached a second final in as many weeks by overcoming Gonza Alfonso and Tino Libaak 6-4, 7-6. That success is a significant change from last season, when the pair lost each of the 12 semi-finals they played together.
