Rocafort and Vasquez win at home

The surname doesn’t hide the origins, but Simon Vasquez is 100% Swedish. And in Gothenburg, with Cayetano Rocafort (another padel player who is at home in Sweden), Vasquez won the FIP Rise. In the final match, Rocafort and Vasquez – who were the tournament’s third seed – defeated in three sets (6-2 3-6 6-2) the second seed on the main draw, Spaniards José Carlos Gaspar and Miguel Gonzalez. “Winning here, in Sweden, at home, was a fantastic feeling – wrote Vasquez on his Instagram profile -. We risked in many situations but, with our fighting spirit and will, we lifted the trophy”.
