The former player and captain of the Spanish team in the Billie Jean King Cup Anabel Medina He confirmed on Monday that he was comparing doubles to a marriage where “you can get a ‘feeling’ over time” or where it can happen as in Cristina Bucsa and Sara Sorribeswho experienced a “crush”.
Medina explained the doubles success at the WTA 1000 in Madrid this Sunday by a couple made up of a player who was born in Moldova but has lived in Cantabria since he was three years old. Cristina Bucsa and the one from Castellón Sarah Sorribesin what will be their first contest together after deciding to sign up fifteen minutes before the signing deadline.
“They themselves said what the union used to be. Fifteen minutes before, Sara Sorribes was left without a partner and they talked about it,” commented Medina, who explained that “there is always talk about double couples, the importance of being together and having a good feeling” but he compared that situation to that of a marriage.
“It can be a marriage that over time generates that union and then there are crushes and they already had a crush. They got together by chance and it turned out that they got along well, they had a good ‘feeling’ and in tennis they found the formula to achieve what they have achieved, the first WTA 1000 won by a Spanish couple. in the tournament in Madrid,” insisted Medina. .
So, he is very happy because now the “sea of opportunities” opens for him in front of the Olympic Games, where Spain can take four players for singles and two double pairs: “The union of Cristina and Sara This allows us a pure doubles couple. Or the two who qualified, also doubled,” he stated.
“If we can, four singles players and two doubles pairs would be great,” said the Spanish captain, who also commented on the possibilities of each of the Spanish players entering the individual draw and said that he sees the “place for” the favorite surface of Spanish women – in reference to the clay – gives points.”
Medina He commented that the cut will come after Roland Garros and the 64 best by ‘ranking’ will enter, although as the US, China and the Czech Republic have more than four players within the top fifty, predicted he said that “the reduction will go beyond. .”
In any case, the former tennis player said that “you have to be in the top 60 in the world” to confirm the classification while in doubles, Bucsa and Sorribes “are classified at 99.9%”.
Medina assumed that it was more difficult for the player from Castellón in the individual, where he was in 47th place, because he remembered that “he made the second round in Paris last year” and that now he must “continue the scoring so as not to punish him too much.”
“Others are progressing. Bucsa is stable, Badosa will enter through a protected rank if he cannot enter through the normal rank, so his place is guaranteed and Bouzas is very close, seventy one , while Rebecca Masarova “He will fight,” he predicted.
