Historic first women’s title for CT Valencia

He Valencia Tennis Club made history by winning her first title at the MAPFRE Spanish Women’s Team Tennis Championship – Orange Cup held in Murcia, where she defeated AD Stadium Casablanca in Zaragoza 4-0 in the final.

That is why the Valencians recovered from the defeat suffered in the 2022 final against the Aragonese, also in the courts of Real Murcia CT 1919. In up to 6 occasions they are close to winning in 51 editions of the championship.

The title was decided with the victories of Ylena In-Albon over Seone Méndez 7-6(5) 6-0, Claudia Hoste over Silvia Alejo 6-0 6-3 and Eva Guerrero over Eleni Christofi 6-1 6-3 . With the tie resolved, Lucía Cortez saw how Irene Burillo retired with 4-3 on the scoreboard of the first set.

Above all was the semifinal that CT Valencia had to play yesterday against RCT Barcelona-1899, a tie that was resolved in the middle of the night with an exciting 19-17 in the final super tie-break that resolved the decisive doubles point.

Relegation of CT Tarragona

At the top of the table, AD Stadium Casablanca beat Madrid’s CT Chamartín with authority 3-1.

And in a tie to avoid direct relegation, Real Zaragoza Club de Tenis 1907 beat CT Tarragona 4-0. The Catalans are relegated and the Aragonese will play the play-off against the runner-up “B”: CDE Tenis Madrid.

CT Valencia players observed a minute of silence in memory of the victims caused by the recent floods in the Levante area.

This Thursday the men’s competition starts where the host team of Real Murcia CT 1909 will defend the title won in 2023.

A total of €24,000 will be distributed in prizes, continuing the economic parity of previous years between the men’s and women’s events.
