The Cuban duo of Daniela Darriba and Wendy Durán defeated the host country 21-20 to win the Panama Open 7 International Frontennis Tournament.

In this category, the pupils of Alejandro Placer were superior to the Isthmian Marilu Gonzalez and Mexican Maricruz Hoyos, who reinforced the local team, something valid in this type of event.

The silver went to Diana Rangel/Ariadna Coto (Puerto Rico) and the bronze went to Abril Núñez/María Araya (Costa Rica).

In the case of the men, the male duo of the island, composed of Maykel Mayet and Alejandro Gonzalez, medalists in world championships and in the Pan American Games of Lima 2019, was far superior to Argentina (Arnau Rodriguez/Lorenzo Cardoso) in two sets (11-4 and 11-3) and deserved the bronze.

In this category, the gold medal went to Panama (Dayron Mateo/ Javi López), for the first time champion in these competitions, followed by Mexico, in second place.

The event was attended by men's and women's teams, which competed on behalf of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Mexico, Spain, Costa Rica, Argentina and Panama.

The 20-meter Frontenis is a discipline that continues to grow in the isthmus, comes from the derivation of the Basque pelota and fronton. It is a game where participants must hit the ball with a racquet and use their strength, speed and cunning to send it to the fronton so that it falls in a strategic area where their opponent cannot reach.
