Two Mexican couples say goodbye to Los Cabos
- Reyes Varela-Hach Verdugo and Alvarez-Lemaitre were eliminated.
Los Cabos, August 2, 2023. The third day of the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo reported on Wednesday the defeats of two Mexican doubles pairs, Miguel Reyes Varela and Hans Hach Verdugo and the junior pair of Luis Carlos Alvarez and Luca Lemaitre.
Nathaniel Lammons (USA) and Jackson Withrow (USA) defeated Alvarez and Lemaitre 6-3, 6-2, while Reyes Varela and Hach Verdugo lost 6-3, 6-1 to British Julian Cash and American Robert Galloway.
“We played against great players, of a great level, but I also think we showed that we can play, we still need to work on certain details especially in our serve, but in general we felt good playing together,” said Alvarez in a press conference.
While Lemaitre commented that it is necessary that both “we begin to understand the difficulty of playing at this level, we have to play doubles at a different speed, it is not to stay back to pass balls but to be at the net and be more aggressive”.
Now in competition, only the Mexican Santiago Gonzalez, who together with the French Eduard Roger-Vasselin, are the first seeded couple of the tournament.
