The next in the summer’s round of tournaments starts today in the coastal town of Zarautz in Gipuzkoa,which is incidentally the home of the longest beach in the Basque Country. Over the next three days, four couples will compete for the doubles crown which was won last year by Titin III and Laskurain. Today’s matches are not on ETB-Sat but there will be a webcast of the second semi final tomorrow (Sunday).
