The Mano season saved the best for last as this tremendously entertaining and competitive "Champion of Champions" match left fans breathless and hungry for the 2019-2020 season to begin. I-R opened up a large lead at 2-8 and A-Z spent the rest of the match trying to battle back. At 15-17--16-17, Altuna III hurt his knee crashing into the left wall but continued playing. Shortly thereafter, A-Z ran off 4 points in a row (although the 1st one was quite controversial--a cross court kill shot by Altuna III that appeared to be out of bounds) to take the lead at 19-18 (their first lead of the match) and then 20-18.They were aided by 2 I-R errors. They then won 2 of the last 3 points for an amazing and unlikely victory. It netted them 3,000 Euros. The crowd of about 2,000 was smaller than last year's 3,000.
