The countdown has begun. Albacete could be the headquarters of a very attractive event in which the figure of Aracha Sánchez Vicario would be indispensable, which would do in our city something that has not yet done in Spain since he retired.
The Albacete Tennis Club has begun with the preparations for the ‘III Cup Legends’, which in principle will take place on September 20 and 21, a date that could be modified according to the agenda of the participating players.
In these last weeks, the director of the competition, Julián García, has started a round of negotiations with players both in the Conde Godó trophy of Barcelona, and in Mutua Master Madrid, hoping that finally in Roland Garros, at the end of May, the picture of participants can specify.
For this edition, the Albacete Tennis Club considers several options, including the celebration of a cup legends in the women’s category, where the best Spanish player of all time, Arancha Sánchez Vicario, former number 1 of world tennis, is the great goal. The organization is currently waiting for the player’s response, which currently resides in Miami.
Yearn that Arancha tells the proposal of the Albacete Tennis Club
If Arancha Sánchez Vicario accepted the proposal of the Albacete Tennis Club, it could be accompanied by other players who competed against her in the 90s in what would be a very attractive event for the public, because the three -time champion in Roland Garros does not compete in our country since her retirement as a professional player.
If the Spanish ex -duty response were negative, the club would maintain the successful format of these last two editions in the male category. To do this, Julián García has talked in recent days with great players such as David Ferrer, Fernando Verdasco, Tommy Robredo, Alex Corretja, Albert Costa or the Russian Marath Safin, which has also been number 1 of world tennis.
Likewise, active tennis players, already veterans, who are in the final stretch of their sports career could also be the objective of the organization. Among those players are the Spaniards Pablo Carreño and Roberto Bautista, as well as the Italian Fabio Fognini.
