With this victory, he will play the semi-final on July 3 at Donostia's Atano III fronton. His rival will be decided on Monday in the match between Jokin Altuna and Peio Etxeberria.

Joseba Ezkurdia gave a great performance at the Urbeltz fronton in Legazpi, in a match with Arkaitz Gabirondo against Jon Ander Peña and Ander Imaz. The Arbizu pelotari took the ball from behind with his right hand and then put an end to it.

The four will qualify directly for the quarter-finals, where four champions can join in the same group: Laso, Altuna, Elordi and Jaka, if the last two pass the octave round.
