Vibo Valentia overcame the malediction of the number 17 and put an end to a negative series of four consecutive defeats by beating Pineto. Jon Uriarte’s boys found it hard only in the first set as they got on court a little tense. Pineto did not take full advantage and Vibo dominated the second. Pineto snatched the third and played the fourth to the wire but a Roberts mistake on the serve gave Vibo the three points.
Jon Uriarte (Tonno Callipo Vibo Valentia): “This is an important victory that will do us good. My team stayed focused and fought hard in the difficult moments. We wanted it and got three crucial points”.
Roberto Fant (Aran Cucine Abruzzo Pineto): “We made a good effort, and we even thought we could grab a point at one moment. The important will be to work with the same intensity shown so far”.
