First day and first medal. The Italian table tennis championships, which began today in Cagliari, give the first satisfaction thanks to the third place of Francesca Seu of Muravera paired with Francesco Trevisan of Kras Sgonico Bolzano , in the mixed doubles third category. Their march stopped in the semifinals, beaten by the couple Giacomo Izzo of Milano Sport (a giant born in 2007, number 34 in Italy) and Sofia Mescieri of Castelgoffredo, 23 years old, number 57 (but she was 28). Izzo and Mescieri, shortly after, will win the mixed doubles title, the first of the ping pong event which will end next Saturday with the assignment of the absolute titles.
Seu and Trevisan, 28 years old in two (15 Seu, 13 Trevisan) were "adopted" by the public present at the PalaPirastu who presented a splendid glance.
First round and 3-0 to the couple Valotto-De Vito, the latter outgoing champion of the men's doubles. Same treatment for the couple Sassi-Zanetta and Abderrahnane-Petenzi. Francesca Seu, a young promise from Muravera, and Francesco Trevisan find a difficult obstacle in the quarterfinals, the couple formed by Giovanni Novi and Marialucia Di Meo del Norbello (bronze in mixed in 2022). Another victory, this time in four sets, and here is the semifinal and the favorite couple Izzo-Mescieri. No worries, the Sardinian duo from Bolzano works and wins the first set. He goes down in the second and loses to the advantages in the third after having seen the victory up close. Lost the train, the fourth set slips away in favor of the opponents, who will then climb to the top step of the podium, with the victory in three sets over the expert Antonio Gigliotti and Giulia Varveri.
