The second day of competition for Javi Marta hasn’t been good either. The player was aware of the level that awaited him and on this occasion he has also found defeat again. In this sense, in the morning she lost, together with Cristina Puebla from Club Badminton 89 Burgo de Osma, against Ireland in the mixed doubles modality by 21-10 / 21-14; and in the afternoon she again found herself with the bitter taste of defeat, but this time against the Netherlands. In mixed doubles she lost by 21-5 / 21-7 and in men’s doubles by 21-8 / 21-15.
About two days ago, Javi Marta began the adventure of the Nations Senior Cup with great hope. A European competition that brought together the most prestigious badminton players in their category, so Marta was aware that she was going to find a good level and that it was not going to be easy to face those games. To make matters worse, he did not arrive in top condition, since his knee still caused him some discomfort. However, none of this could end the illusion of Teruel that he was willing to play a great role.
The demand was noted from the first day, when Marta faced France with little luck, since, along with Sergio Latorre, he was defeated in two sets (21-14/21-14).
However, yesterday the player made a clean slate to face the day positively. However, fate had prepared a complicated evening for him.
In the morning he had to face, together with Cristina Puebla from Club Badminton 89 Burgo de Osma, the Irish couple in the mixed doubles modality. They started focused, but they could do little or nothing against the Irish steamroller and lost by 21-10/21-14.
In the afternoon he had to compete against the Netherlands in the modality of mixed doubles and men’s doubles. In the mixed doubles, he did not quite feel comfortable and they were easily beaten 21-5/21-7, however, in the men’s doubles modality, Marta and her partner found themselves more comfortable and were able to stand up to their rivals. however, ultimately the result was the same. defeat by 21-8/21-15.
With these results, the conclusions that Marta draws are that these are “very intense and demanding matches, where it is very difficult to score a point”, and that also “the players of these teams are very constant in their game, they do not miss a hit, They don’t even give a midfielder for lost, they have a very solid defense and a very powerful attack, they know how to come out of pressure very well and, above all, they have a position on the court and an anticipation in the return of hits that the team lacks Spanish”.
Despite this, the player is “happy” with their matches because they are giving their all and because they are offering a good show, as well as enjoying a great atmosphere.
