Favourites to the semi-final after match points against them ”You have to fight to win”
It was a thriller to the quarter-finals as Marta Ortega, and Bea Gonzalez won to take on the legendary Carolina Navarro and super talent Claudia Jensen.
Despite the favoritism of the world's third-best pair, this was long young Claudia Jensen and experienced Carolina Navarro's match. The first set ended 6-1, and in the second, they had one break up.
In the end, the second set was a thriller. Both teams had match points in the tiebreak, but in the end, Marta Ortega and Bea Gonzalez managed to break and won 11-9 in the tiebreak.
— It was just to fight. You have to fight to win, said Marta Ortega about the decision in the tv broadcast after the match.
The match turned completely around after the second set. The finalists from Cascais took over and won the last set easily 6-1 after a total of 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Tomorrow, the pair will now face world number one Gemma Triay and Alejandra Salazar in a semi-final. They will seek revenge after losing Claudia Jensen and Carolina Navarro last week.
