second win in a row for Augsburger

After Ceuta, here comes Rotterdam. Another victory for Argentinean Leandro Augsburger, who won in the FIP RISE Padel Copa his second consecutive title. The partner changed, not the score: if in Spain, with Augsburger, had played Pablo Castillo Valverde, in the Netherlands it was the turn of another Argentine, Valentino Libaak. In the final, the two Albicelestes beat 7-5 6-4 the first seed in the draw, the pair formed by the Italian-Argentinean Denis Perino and Facundo Dominguez. For Augsburger also a touching dedication: “For you, my uncle. Thank you for your help from above and for guiding me through every ball. I send you a kiss to the sky. And thank you to all the people who came out to support us, creating a fantastic atmosphere”.

 

Among the women, success for An-Sophie Mestach and Helena Wyckaert (Belgium), who won a very balanced final against the Dutch Marcella Koek and Stephanie Weterings, which ended in the third set (7-6 3-6 6-1). “One of the most beautiful matches I have ever played on a padel court – exulted Mestach -. Helena, hopefully we can play some more. And thanks also to the only two Belgians who cheered for us. You made the difference”. One was her boyfriend Geoffrey.
