Gonzalez-Guerrero and Osoro-Iglesias triumph in Veracruz

The FIP Platinum Skechers in Veracruz has crowned its kings and queens. Momo Gonzalez and Fran Guerrero lifted the trophy in the men’s tournament, while Aranzazu Osoro and Victoria Iglesias were crowned champions in the women’s draw. All of them earned 300 points for the FIP Ranking and for the Race leading to the Barcelona Finals, with ‘Zazu’ and Iglesias – thanks to their 7-6 6-1 victory in the final over Martina Fassio and Patty Llaguno – closing in on Marina Guinart, who currently sits in 16th place. “Thanks to everyone who came out to support us – said the “Vikinga” –. It’s been a season of ups and downs for me, and being able to win such an important tournament is special”. “It was a very tough tournament, which makes winning it even more beautiful”, added Iglesias, who had already won a CUPRA FIP Tour event in August, the FIP Gold in Potosí.

Gonzalez and Guerrero, meanwhile, starred in an extremely tight final against Juan Tello and Edu Alonso: the No. 2 seeds managed to close it out 6-4, 1-6, 7-5, sealing the match with an extraordinary off-court retrieval by Momo on match point. “The crowd was amazing – said Momo -. It was a very tough match; I have to congratulate Fran for playing exceptional padel and for helping me win my first title of 2025”. “I have to thank the entire tournament organization for their work – added Guerrero –. Momo made things easier for me on court; I’m very happy to have won in such a special atmosphere”.
