Albisu-Laso and Altuna-Ezkurdia have today chosen the material for the Couples Final in the Navarre Arena. No problem with the material offered, and they are eager to get the "dream cap" that they have on the big day.

Ezcaray's striker will accompany Ezkurdia, and Jaka and Iztueta will be the rivals on the third day of the Couples Championship semifinals. Altuna III and Ezkurdia are already ranked for the final, and Jaka and Iztueta have no chance of playing that final.

Altuna III-Ezkurdia and Jaka-Iztueta have chosen the material for the semi-final match of the Couples Championship that will be played this weekend at the Beotibar fronton in Tolosa on Tuesday. Jokin Altuna acknowledges that he does not know for sure whether he will be able to play because his hands are hurt.

It's hard for the other pelotaris to beat Laso and Albisu. They were leaders in the first phase and they're still the same in the second phase.

Altuna and Ezkurdia have won 22-16 to Elordi and Zabaleta in the first match of the semifinals.

Joseba Ezkurdia has played his best game in the championship. In the second half of the match, Guipuzcoano and Navarro have been even more dominant. Javi Zabala and Julen Martija will have a second chance to qualify.

Jon Mariezkurrena may have said goodbye to the tournament after opening his right-hand handle on Friday. Elordi and Zabaleta are ranked, and the Altuna-Ezkurdia couple have also achieved their goal, and both strikers are in fourth place.
