| Emanuel/Tande
come back after Klagenfurt
disappointment
Ostende,
Belgium, 12 August - Brazilians Emanuel/Tande
displayed their experience and style today
by taking another World Tour victory,
their fourth for the season.
The
win, in a small way, made up for their
disappointing fifth at the World
Championship at Klagenfurt last week.
Losing
the first set to compatriots Ricardo/Loiola,
Alexander Tande displayed magnificent
defence in the second set, and along with
a huge dual at the net between Emanuel and
Loiola, Emanuel/Tande took the set, then
the tie-breaker third set to finally take
the match 2-1 (19-21, 21-16, 15-9).
In
the bronze medal play off, the Laciga
brothers had their sixth podium finish of
the season, defeating newly crowned World
Champions Baracetti/Conde in two sets.
The
victory over the World Champions was
rewards for a good tournament for the
Swiss, but the Argentineans seemed to lack
the enthusiasm they had showed in their
last 3 tournaments victories.
