The 2022-2023 season of the National Table Tennis Championship in the First Division of Portugal began for Santiago Lorenzo from San Rafael and he played the 1st date with his team, Associacão Desportiva Galomar, who defeated Sao Roque 4-1 at home and again the contribution of our tennis player was fundamental.
In Singles, Santiago achieved the point by beating Humberto Manhani Junior by 3 sets to 0 (11-9, 12-10 and 11-8), while in doubles together with Pavel Khripunenko from Russia they beat the duo made up of Idowu Saheed and Filipe Coelho Da Silva for 3 sets to 0.
Diario San Rafael spoke from a distance with the player from our city who commented on his news: “This start of the season was very good, and the previous weekend I achieved victory in my individual match against a very good player who came to beat me in the last season. I’ve been playing well, where the team beat one of the strongest teams in the League, so it’s important”.
Getting into the Argentine team, he told us: “We have the Odesur Games – South American Games – in Paraguay on October 10, obviously the objective is to keep the victory in teams and in individual I will have to play hoping to be able to get a medal that is quite difficult. , while in doubles I will not play”.
“Then I will have the Pan American Championship ahead of me, which will be held in Santiago de Chile from October 31 to November 6, there I will play in all three modalities and the main thing is to win as a team or get a medal that is important for several aspects, hopefully that we can get to fight Brazil that we are quite close compared to previous years, and in individual it is difficult to talk beforehand because everything depends on the draw and the key that you get, but aiming for the quarterfinals or the round of 16 would be great . ”, he expressed.
Now Santiago has already traveled to Spain where he will be making his debut in the Men’s Superdivision with the Alzira Tennis Taula cast from Valencia, and this Saturday they will face CTM El Palomar at the Pérez Puig Pavilion, where they will face the 1st Maio cast at home.
