Team from Spain Champions under the rain at the NPB/FIP100 Voorhout Tournament

Eduardo Espona (Sp) and Jeronimo Cañas (Arg) triumphed at the Voorhout NPB/FIP 100 Tournament, at club Tennispark Oosthout. Organized by the Dutch Padel Federation and Tournament Director Rob Ubink, the championship took place from from 2nd to 4th September.

The Spanish/Argentine team imposed their longer experience with padel to defeat the guys from Twente for a tight 6/4 6/4.  For the semifinals, they faced seed #2 of the tournament, the experienced Bogaart/Schuilenburg, to continue their road to Championship, for a close 5/7 7/6(8-6) 7-5.

On Sunday, for the Championship finals Espona/Cañas faced the #1 seed and current no1. in the Dutch Padel Circuit Peter Bruijsten, partnering with the always solid Coen Beltman. The final’s result was for the visitors once more for 7-6 6-3.
