Having turned professional near the age of 24, Murua has quickly made his mark in the sport. Following his victory in the Parejas Serie B championship alongside Arkaitz Gabirondo, the Gipuzkoan athlete is now aiming to secure his second title in the individual category.
The athlete admitted that reaching the final was an unexpected achievement, following a necessary recovery period after the pairs tournament. His tactical approach, focusing on aggressive left-handed shots from distance, has been key to his recent success and confidence on the court.
“"I didn't expect to reach the final when the tournament started, because the Parejas championship was long and I arrived tired. I rested for ten days and approached the Manomanista with renewed enthusiasm."
Regarding his opponent, Amiano, Murua highlighted the importance of controlling the pace of the game to neutralize his rival's powerful striking ability. He views the upcoming match as a learning experience, focusing on tactical adjustments rather than previous encounters.
