Iker Larrazabal and Jon Ander Peña will open the quarterfinals of the San Fermin Four and a Half tournament this Friday at the Las Llanas fronton in Sestao.

The tournament organized by Aspe and Baiko Pilota continues, with a match scheduled for this Friday at the Las Llanas fronton in Sestao, starting at 20:45. On this occasion, Iker Larrazabal and Jon Ander Peña will compete to kick off the San Fermin Four and a Half quarterfinals.
The player from Tolosa, the current champion of the modality, begins his participation in the enclosed court just as the San Pedro festivities commence. He faces a well-prepared opponent: Larrazabal defeated Beñat Zubizarreta last Sunday at the Donibane fronton in Muskiz in a rally of over 362 pelotazos.
The powerful player from Alava, who is making significant strides in all specialties, scored fifteen points and made nine errors, including three service faults, which gave his opponent opportunities. The player from Ataun struggled against Larrazabal's cuts, which were described as true "daggers" and earned him eight points. Additionally, five aerial finishes and two serves contributed to the player from Amurrio's performance.
The opening match will feature an interesting encounter between the pairs Amiano-Albisu and Zubizarreta IV-Mariezkurrena II.
