Meanwhile, the number 2 pairing, Ariana Sánchez/Paula Josemaría (ESP/ESP), had to work harder: After a hard fight over three hours, the Spaniards beat Carla Mesa/ Claudia Jensen (ESP/ARG) through. The 16-year-old Jensen once again proved her great talent, but missed the sensation with her partner Mesa.
Lebron and Galan sovereign in the semifinals
In the men's tournament, the favorites of the tournament once again showed themselves to be extremely confident: the top seeded Spaniards Alejandro Galán and Juan Lebrón won 6:2, 6:4 against old champion Fernando Belasteguín from Argentina and his Spanish partner Arturo Coello Manso. “We love it here in Vienna, the atmosphere is great. Reaching the final is always special – now we want to win it too.”
