38 EWN 27 June - 3 July 2019 www.euroweeklynews.com MOTORING Classic Car Club of Andalucía CCCA summer season off to a flying start! N OT only do CCCA members enjoy their driving, their cars and seeing the beautiful Andalucian countryside, they also enjoy a marvellous social scene with many parties, lunches, dinners and other gatherings. This past weekend saw the Club put on its annual Summer Ball at the Hotel Tamisa Golf as they have on 10 previous occasions! The hotel boasts one of the most beautiful settings on the coast. On a balmy summer evening tables were set up around the kidney-shaped swimming pool which, with Mijas golf course as the backdrop, provided the most stunning setting and ambience. After an hour or so of Cava and canapés and then an excellent three-course dinner, music was provided by the exceptionally talented Mark Connor and Michelle Williams, who soon had the gang up and dancing the evening away. The stage and the dance floor had been set up outside, which in turn contributed much to the marvellous ‘ambience’ being enjoyed by everyone. The evening had been organised, as usual, by the Club’s vice-president, Brian Ladd, who sadly has been rather poorly and was unable to attend. Appreciation of his efforts was shown by the huge round of applause he received when thanked by Club President, Ian Giles. The Club continues its programme of events through the hot summer months and next on the calendar will be the July dinner at Treetops Restaurante on Tuesday, July 2 where dining will be ‘al fresco’ under the stars on the beautiful terrace there.

SPORT www.euroweeklynews.com 27 June - 3 July 2019 39 EWN Mallorca back in La Liga IN CONTROL: Daní Rodriguez. MALLORCA are back in the big tine after a stunning comeback in the second leg of their play-off final saw them overcome Deportivo la Coruña. They will be back in La Liga facing the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid for the first time in six years after they overturned a two-goal deficit from the first leg. Ante Budimir, Salva Sevilla and Abdon Prats scored during a 3-0 win in the second leg held at their home Iberostar Stadium, leading to a 3-2 success on aggregate. The result means that they join Osasuna and Granada as the teams promoted this year. The result on Sunday led to scenes of celebrations, with thousands of fans flooding on to the pitch to salute their team at the final whistle. There were noisy scenes in Palma through the night as the celebrations continued. French Open champion and Mallorca native Rafa Nadal was in the stands to back his local team He posted a picture of the fans’ celebrations on Instagram saying: ‘No words, incredible emotions.’ Mallorca had finished the La Liga2 season in fifth place but overcame fourth placed Albacete in the playoff semi-final. Third positioned Malaga were beaten by Deportivo who had finished sixth. In last Thursday’s first leg Deportivo had won 2-0 after Mallorca’s Marc Pedraza was shown a red card in the first half. Past glories ARE McLaren finally showing signs of reclaiming past glories? Their Spanish driver Carlos Sainz certainly hopes so after an excellent weekend in France - home country of his team’s engine suppliers Renault - saw him take sixth place and eight championship points. Of course, there is a heck of a long way before he can even think about catching Mercedes. Lewis Hamilton took his sixth win of the season as he showed his mastery at the Paul Ricard circuit, a full 95.4 seconds ahead of Sainz. But at least the Woking-based team can start a challenge to be the ‘best of the rest’ after Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull. Hamilton drove a flawless race to beat teammate Valtteri Bottas, with the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc in third. Then came Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and in fifth spot was Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari. Sainz too drove a good race, with a blistering start nearly putting him into fourth in front of Verstappen until Leclerc (legitimately) blocked him off. He did, however end up beating the other McLaren of Lando Norris, who nevertheless was named Driver of the Day, much to the chagrin of sections of the Spanish press. Queens title for Spanish veteran SPANISH veteran Feliciano Lopez has become just the third wildcard to win the Queens tennis championship, joining Ivan Lendl (1989) and Pete Sampras (1999). And as if winning his second Queens singles title at the age of 37 wasn’t enough, he also helped Andy Murray ease his way back into competitive tennis by partnering him to a doubles triumph later the same day. To say Lopez’s win was unexpected would be a bit of an understatement. Up until the start of the tournament he has only won three ATP main draw matches all year. By the time he had completed the week he had four more under his belt and some silverware for his trophy cabinet. He beat Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-2, 6-7(4), 7-6(2) in a tournament that holds fond memories for him. He won at the Queens Club in 2017 and was runner-up in 2014. Now number 53 in the ATP Rankings after jumping 60 places, he has also become CHAMPIONS: Lopez and Murray triumphed at Queens (right). the oldest champion at this event in the Open Era. “I thought the best moment of my career was when I won this tournament in 2017, but it’s right now,” said Lopez. “He (Simon) was coming up with unbelievable passing shots and I was a little bit desperate, to be honest. The tie-break is a bit of a lottery, of course, but I’m just so happy to win here.” This was the seventh ATP tournament success in Lopez’s career, and his fourth in grass, a surface that suits his service game. He then teamed up with Andy Murray who was making his comeback from hip surgery in January, and who Credit: ATP Tour could surely not have been expecting a title in his first tournament back. Speaking after the event Murray said: “I just won the doubles with Feli, with a metal hip. It’s mental, really. “That’s a cool thing to be able to have done just because of where I was a few months ago. I wasn’t thinking about this… I was really happy to be pain-free and enjoying life, literally just doing normal things. It’s really special. It’s more special than a lot of the singles tournaments that I’ve won for a lot of different reasons.” He and Lopez defeated top seeds Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah in the opening round, then third seeds Henri Kontinen and John Peers in the semis. In the final they defeated Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury. 7-6(6), 5-7, 10-5. Murray said: “In terms of how I was hitting the ball, I think I did okay. “There’s things I can do better. I think a lot of it is positioning on the court, like where to stand after Feli has hit a return or where to position ourselves at the net. “But one of the things that’s quite difficult with doubles is that you’re never going to find the partner who has everything, and you yourself don’t have everything. I have flaws in my game and Feli will have weaknesses in his game. But we used our strengths and complemented each other very well. You need to be able to do that and not get frustrated with yourself.”
