The exultation. «I wanted to thank the Sardinian public again because you can't do better than this», celebrates Orsi, the first Italian to win in a FIP Platinum event as well as in one of the tournaments organized in Cagliari since 2020. «I'm very happy to have won here, it's my first international title of my career and I'm very excited to have done it in Italy. I also want to thank my partner, who led me to victory against two champions. I hope to continue like this for another week." Orsi had also reached the final at the FIP Platinum Sardinia a year ago, but lost (paired with Carla Mesa) against Llaguno-Sainz. Yesterday, in the semi-final, she and Rodríguez (numbers 27 and 25 in the world) had overcome the big favourites, Virginia Riera and Carmen Goenaga García, seeded number 1.
