The day started with confusion and also on the wrong foot for Spain, dragged down by the defeat of Pablo Carreño in the opening quarter-final against the Czech Republic. The man from Gijón is a guarantee of struggle, of self-love on all four sides, but still insufficient to contain those latest generation values that are so good by nature and that somehow try to make themselves seen. Jakub Mensik didn’t take long to bring out the hammer and despite the Asturian’s response, already a long journey, he didn’t give up: 7-5 and 6-4, after 1h 30m. David Ferrer’s team then found themselves on the ropes while the sad day in Bologna was still trying to relax.
In the second round, among the top swordsmen of each team, Jaume Munar will face Jiri Lehecka without any failure option: win or win. Otherwise Spain would say goodbye to the competition in the first season of this final phase.
