Spain will have a bronze medal! Sara Sorribes and Cristina Bucsa fulfilled their mission to give a new medal to the Spanish delegation at the Paris Olympic Games. The duo demonstrated their dominance by defeating Linda Noskova and Karolina Muchova in the match for the third place in the women's doubles. The Spanish players were superior from start to finish, showcasing one of their best team performances. Moreover, this is only the second event they have played together since their title at the Mutua Madrid Open a few months ago. Second tournament and second reward for all the effort they have put into these Games. (6-2 6-2)

The gold medal was not meant to be, but after this great match, the bronze feels like gold. Both players were unstoppable from the beginning, entering the game with high energy and contrasting with their rivals' poor feeling. The Czech players were out of sorts throughout the first set, especially Muchova, who was restricted by the Spanish duo. Sorribes continued her role as the pivot, while Bucsa excelled. Cantabria moved like a gazelle at the net, quick, alert, and confidently closing points. The Spanish players' show had just begun, moving swiftly, surprising, and dominating. The Czech players were nowhere to be found.

Absolute dominance by the Spanish duo

This pattern continued until the end of the match, with the Spanish players' quality flowing abundantly. While Bucsa maintained control of the net, Sorribes unleashed her deadly forehand without hesitation. The Czech players fell far below their expected level, especially Muchova, who couldn't carry the team. Breaking the Spanish duo's connection on the court was an impossible task, causing great frustration for their rivals who couldn't match their best performance. A very serious match by these girls who brought out the best in themselves after few mistakes and rose to the occasion amid doubts and desperation from their opponents across the net.

Therefore, Bucsa and Sorribes can now return home with their mission more than accomplished, becoming the eighth Spanish pair to win a medal at the Games. Congratulations, girls!
