the Dianense Andrea Redondo and Mª José Luque, from Cordoba, number 33 in the national ranking, were the finalists of the 47th edition of the Pulpí tournamentDean of Andalusian tennis.
The Andalusian player reached the final without giving up any set, comfortably solving her eighth and quarterfinals. Only in the semifinals did she have any trouble in the second set against the Murcian absolute champion, the young María Paredes, who had two advantages to make the break when the scoreboard indicated a 5-4 in her favor. Had he succeeded, the contest would have equaled one set and everything would have been decided in the third round. It was not like that because Luque, using experience, solved the situation.
Andrea Redondo was his rival in the match that decided the title. Andrea reached the final somewhat physically impaired due to hip discomfort that arose in the quarterfinal match, where the aquiline, Paola Moreno, made her play three sets before falling.
Redondo beat the semifinals defeating the young Almeria player, Antas, Encarni García. However, the inconvenience appeared with more seriousness in the final and he left the match when he lost 0 / 6 and 0 / 1 to Luque. A pity, both for her and for the spectators, who could barely see twenty-five minutes of tennis.
The Dianense tennis player appreciates the support she receives from the Sant Telm clinic, gym Q Fitness and of her coaches, Mariano Peinado and Roberto Redondo, who are supporting her a lot. It has been an important tour where everything has gone better than expected, although a bit heavy since Andrea has been away from home 3 for weeks.
