Mikel Arruti: Thank you! it’s an honor to be here and share my thoughts on this exciting matchup.

Let’s dive right into it. Bakaikoa and elizegi secured their spot in the final after a hard-fought victory against Víctor and Gaskue. While it truly seems they weren’t at their absolute best,their experience and teamwork shone through. How crucial is that mental fortitude in a high-pressure tournament like this?

Mikel Arruti: absolutely crucial. Pelota is a game of momentum swings and mental toughness. Bakaikoa and Elizegi, with their years of experience playing together, have developed a remarkable understanding. They can weather those rough patches, stay focused, and capitalize on opportunities when their opponents falter.

I agree, their second-half surge was truly impressive. They managed to build a commanding lead with a 4-14 run, which ultimately decided the match. What tactical adjustments do you think they might have made during that crucial period?

Mikel Arruti: It’s difficult to say for sure without studying the match in detail, but they likely identified weaknesses in Víctor and Gaskue’s game during the first half. Perhaps they started targeting a specific area of the court or employing a different serving strategy. They certainly showed improved precision and aggression in their shots, which proved devastating.

Looking ahead to the final, Bakaikoa and Elizegi will face either Zabala-Oier Etxebarria or Salaberria-Erostarbe. Both are incredibly talented duos, each with their own strengths. who do you see as their biggest threat?

Mikel Arruti: That’s a tough one.zabala and Oier Etxebarria are known for their strong offensive play and relentless attacks. Salaberria and Erostarbe, on the other hand, are masters of defense and counter-attacks. Bakaikoa and Elizegi will need to be adaptable and adjust their game plan accordingly, depending on who they face.

mikel Arruti: This is going to be a truly epic battle. Both finalist teams are deserving of their spot, but I believe Bakaikoa and Elizegi have the edge. Their experience, composure, and ability to elevate their game under pressure give them a slight advantage. But in pelota, anything can happen!
