Javier Urriza and Xabier Azpiroz They are the new champions of Parejas de Remonte by beating Imanol Ansa and Ibai Martirena in the final in two sets (15-13 and 15-14). The final was played in a packed Galarreta fronton with a great atmosphere.
He first set was the most even of the two that have been played, with up to seven tied on the scoreboard. An even and closely contested final was expected, and what happened at the Galarreta has adjusted to that script.
During the first half of the set, the advantages on the scoreboard, for both blue and red, have been minimal. It has been since 11-8 for Ansa and Martirena when it seemed that the game could begin to shift in the direction of the Colorados, but that was not the case. With the 13-13 Anything could happen, and Javier Urriza appeared to, with a spectacular shot, put the score at 13-14 and knocked out some rivals who had finally seen a tremendously fought set slip away from them (13-15).
In a second, the blue couple has come out to decide the final. It was the tenth final for Javi Urriza who aspired to win his seventh txapela in Couples, and the man from Pamplona did not want to miss the opportunity.
Thus, and with Azpiroz very confident in the serve, the blues have opened a gap until they are placed 4-9 ahead, five goals ahead to see the txapela closer. However, Imanol Ansa and Ibai Martirena have not given up and have gotten closer 9-10 at the beginning to later equalize the set at 12 points.
At this point, the tension and fatigue between the four protagonists was evident, because the final was in its most decisive moment. Ansa and Martirena have gone ahead 14-13and they came within a point of forcing the third set for a tiebreaker, but Urriza and Azpiroz did the rest and took the set and the final (14-15).
