Mercadal Tennis Club Girls Win Balearic Islands Titles
The female squads from Mercadal Tennis Club have made history by claiming the Balearic Islands championships in two different categories. Cala Rotja triumphed in the Green division, while Cala Viola took the Blue division title. Their victories came after thrilling matches against Nomads Es Jordi (Mallorca) and BFit Pádel (Eivissa) at the final stage of the FPIB League held at Palma Pádel Club.
Green Category Victory – Cala Rotja
Cala Rotja showed solid teamwork and determination throughout the tournament. In the decisive match, they faced Nomads Es Jordi and managed to edge out a win in a tightly contested game. The win secured their spot as champions of the Green category.
Blue Category Victory – Cala Viola
Cala Viola’s performance was equally impressive. Playing against BFit Pádel from Eivissa, the Menorcan team displayed strong net play and consistent baseline shots, ultimately clinching the Blue category championship.
Path to the Spanish Cup
With the backing of FPIB delegate Óscar Gomila, both teams have earned a place in the upcoming Spanish Cup. The tournament will take place next November at the El Prat Paddle Club in Barcelona, giving the Mercadal girls a chance to compete against the best teams from across Spain.
Men’s Team Almost Made It
The excitement didn’t stop with the women’s sides. The men’s team from Exclusivas Pons fought hard to retain their White category title. They faced Rusfit A from Mallorca in a nail‑biting final that went to a third‑set tie‑break. Unfortunately, the Mallorcan side prevailed, leaving the Menorcan boys as runners‑up.
Silver Cup Spot Secured
Even though they missed the top spot, the second‑place finish guarantees the men’s team a place in the Silver Cup. This competition gathers the finalists from each autonomous community and will also be held in November, this time in Madrid.
What This Means for the Club
These results highlight the growing strength of Mercadal Tennis Club on the regional stage. The double championship for the women’s teams and the men’s Silver Cup qualification demonstrate promising talent and hard work across all squads. Fans and players alike can look forward to an exciting November as they represent Menorca on national courts.
Conclusion
Mercadal Tennis Club’s recent achievements are a source of pride for the island. The women’s teams have proven they can dominate at the autonomous level, while the men’s team remains a strong contender for future titles. With the Spanish Cup and Silver Cup on the horizon, the club’s athletes have plenty to strive for in the coming months.
