Last wednesday, july 30th, the Basque Beach Tennis and Minority Sports Association organized the 3rd Basque Racquetball Championship (Singles). We met as usual at the San Ignacio municipal sports center (Bilbao). At the moment, we can’t play on a regulation racquetball court, but we’ll try to build one in the future. Six players gathered that afternoon, similar to last year at this time.
We played three rounds. In the first round, we divided the six players into two groups, and they played against each other. Then we played the match for 3rd and 4th place, and the final. Egoitz and Jon were the best in their groups and went on to play in the final. In the final, Egoitz won by a fairly wide margin. In the match for 3rd and 4th place, Joseba Zubiaurre could have beaten Lander, but Lander played very well.
If all goes well, we’ll meet again in December to play the 3rd Bilbao Tournament, possibly in doubles.
Here are the results:

Egoitz Campo 2-0 Lander Campo (11-2, 11-4)
