On Thursday, August 7th, the Basque Association of Beach Tennis and Minority Sports organized the II. Basque Racquetball Championship (Individual). We met, as always, in the Municipal Sports Center of San Ignacio (Bilbao). Until we build a court with the official dimensions, we have to play on courts like the one in San Ignacio.
We basically played two rounds; the semi-finals and the final. We included Luis in the first round, but the important thing happened later. David and Egoitz won their semi-final match easily and the final was a very close match. David, a new player, athlete and paddle and tennis player (as an amateur) with good physical condition defeated Egoitz in three games. Nice match where both of them put themselves to the maximum. David finally won and became the Basque Champion of the Basque Championships 2024. Joseba came after beating Mikel.
In December we met again for the II. Bilbao Tournament, and maybe this time it will be in doubles.
