A Spectacular Weekend for Basque Pelota: an Interview with Former Champion, Ander Elordi
Welcome back to Basque Pelota Central! This weekend promises to be a feast for fans, with a smorgasbord of top-tier professional and amateur matches across the Basque Country and beyond. Joining me today is Ander Elordi,a former champion in the Couples Championship Series B and a veteran of countless tournaments. Ander, thanks for taking the time to chat with us.
AE: It’s a pleasure to be here. This is a fantastic time to be involved with Basque pelota, with so much talent on display.
BC: Absolutely. We saw some astonishing performances last week. Egiguren V and Bikuña’s victory against Zubizarreta III and morgaetxabarri in Series B was a real nail-biter. What were your thoughts on that match?
AE: It was a tremendous battle. Egiguren V and Bikuña showed their tactical nous and sheer determination. Zubizarreta III and Morgaetxabarri are formidable opponents, so that win was a real statement of intent from the victors.
BC: And in the Primera division, Altuna III and Aranguren had their hands full against Jaka and Imaz. Ultimately, experience seemed to pull them through.
AE: Altuna III and Aranguren are a well-oiled machine. They’re incredibly consistent and know how to handle pressure.Jaka and Imaz are a dangerous pair, but perhaps lacking a little polish compared to the veterans.
BC: Tonight, all eyes will be on azkoitia, with two mouth-watering clashes in the Couples Championship. agirre and Ugartemendia face the hard-hitting duo of Darío and Gabirondo in Series B, while in the Primera, Ezkurdia and Rezusta take on Laso and Iztueta. What are your predictions?
AE: I expect a close match between Agirre and Ugartemendia and Darío and Gabirondo. Both teams boast remarkable skill and aggression. In the Primera, it’s a tough call. Ezkurdia and Rezusta are in stellar form, but Laso and Iztueta are always capable of pulling off an upset.
BC: Now let’s look beyond the professional scene. This weekend also sees a number of exciting amateur tournaments,including the San Anton Tournament in Elgoibar and the Beotibar of Toulouse memorial Field finals. What excites you most about these events?
AE: Seeing the next generation of Basque pelota stars come through is always inspiring. Tournaments like these provide a platform for young players to showcase their talents and push themselves against experienced opponents. the Beotibar of Toulouse, in particular, has a rich history of nurturing exceptional talent.
BC: Exactly. We’re seeing some incredible young players emerging, like Etxaniz and Figueroa in toulouse.Their performance against the Salaberria brothers will be another highlight to watch.
AE: Absolutely. I’m curious to see how these young players develop in the years to come. Basque pelota is in safe hands with such promising talent emerging.
