San Miguel de Tucuman Ch D F: Gonzalo Villanueva/Luis Britto [2] def. Patrick Harper/David Stevenson 6-3, 6-2 Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

G. Villanueva/L. Britto ended up being the more dominant pair in this match, as they frequently passed P. Harper/D. Stevenson at the net. The latter's failed volleys were proven costly, as it allowed the former pair to control the whole flow in the crucial moments. This way, P. Harper/D. Stevenson was unable to come up with any possible chances, while G. Villanueva/L. Britto converted 50% out of their 6 break points throughout both sets as a reward of their balanced play.

Furthermore, the second seeds also appeared solid from their service games. Even though P. Harper/D. Stevenson scored 3 aces and the former pair was not able too, the second seeds still managed to have a more solid first serve percentage with 84%. On the other hand, P. Harper/D. Stevenson risked their second serves more as they double-faulted 5 times, which faded their percentage 25% below G. Villanueva/L. Britto at 33% compared to the latter's 61%.

This marked G. Villanueva/L. Britto's first Challenger-level title as a pair, as well as their respective first Challenger doubles title (for both G. Villanueva and L. Britto as an individual) without dropping a set. Interestingly, both pairs will feature in next week's Concepcion Challenger, where most of the pairs competing almost remained the same. Should be an exciting one to follow as well!

Here’s Why Everyone Is Talking About A Pirate Drama That Ended In 2017

Black Sails has been described as Game of Thrones with pirates

If Black Sails kicked off in 2020 instead of 2014, it certainly would have thrown fuel on the raging fire that was TikTok’s sea shanty obsession. The reality is that this TV series aired on Starz from 2014 for four seasons, coming to a close in 2017. So why is everyone talking about it now, a decade after it began?

Black Sails is coming to Netflix very soon, triggering its fans to emerge from the woodwork and promote the show online. ‘I am SO excited for people who’ll be watching this show for the first time,’ one user wrote, with many others recommending the series to fans of Game of Thrones. With House of the Dragon still a few months away, here’s why you should tune into Black Sails this month.

New To Netflix: Black Sails

What Is Black Sails About?

Black Sails transports us back to 1715 – aka the Golden Age of Piracy. Set in New Providence, an island in the Bahamas, we meet the feared Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) who brings a new younger crew member into the fold (‘Long’ John Silver, played by Luke Arnold) as his crew continues to fight for survival and negotiate their space on the island.

Is Black Sails Based On A Book?

Black Sails was written as a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel, Treasure Island (1883).

Is It Based On A True Story?

While Black Sails isn’t based on a true story, it does trace real events. The first season focuses on the hunt for the Spanish treasure galleon Urca de Lima, a real ship that sank in 1715 near Fort Pierce in Florida (where it still lies). Season two traces the fallout of Urca de Lima’s treasure being stranded in Florida, strictly guarded by Spanish soldiers while pirates prowl the shores. The subsequent third and fourth seasons then look at the war for the control of New Providence between the pirates and the British Empire – a la Pirates of the Caribbean.

Likewise, some of the characters are based on real people. Real pirates fictionalised in the show include:

Blackbeard (Ray Stevenson)

Anne Bonny (Clara Paget)

Benjamin Hornigold (Hakeem Kae-Kazim)

Jack Rackham (Toby Schmitz)

Charles Vane (Zach McGowan)

Ned Low (Tadhg Murphy)

Israel Hands (David Wilmot)

Meanwhile, Captain Woodes Rogers (Luke Roberts) – who represents the British Empire in seasons three and four – is based on a real English sea captain and slave trader, and subsequently the first Royal Governor of the Bahamas.

Was Captain Flint A Real Pirate?

Captain Flint is a fictional character who was first created by Robert Louis Stevenson in Treasure Island. He has since appeared in multiple works of fiction, including A. D. Howden Smith’s Porto Bello Gold (1924), John Drake’s Flint and Silver (2008), Pieces of Eight (2009) and Skull and Bones (2010), and J. M. Barrie’s Peter and Wendy (1904).

Where Was Black Sails Filmed?

Black Sails was filmed in Cape Town, South Africa, mainly inside at Cape Town Film Studio. Because the real city is so different today than it was in the 1700s, Nassau – the capital of the Bahamas, located on New Providence island – was built from scratch in a studio over a period of four months, as were two large water tanks to house the series’ two ships. Some scenes were filmed outside in and around Cape Town when new terrain was required, but most of the series was filmed on set.

The Cast

The cast of Black Sails is incredibly large, but key characters to know include:

Toby Stephens as James McGraw/Captain Flint

Hannah New as Eleanor Guthrie

Luke Arnold as ‘Long’ John Silver

Jessica Parker Kennedy as Max

Tom Hopper as William ‘Billy Bones’ Manderly

Zach McGowan as Charles Vane

Toby Schmitz as Jack Rackham

Clara Paget as Anne Bonny

Mark Ryan as Hal Gates

Hakeem Kae-Kazim as Mr. Scott

Sean Cameron Michael as Richard Guthrie

Louise Barnes as Miranda Hamilton/Barlow

Rupert Penry-Jones as Thomas Hamilton

Luke Roberts as Woodes Rogers

Ray Stevenson as Edward Teach

David Wilmot as Israel Hands

Harriet Walter as Marion Guthrie

In the second set, the net game problems turned out to persist for P. Harper/D. Stevenson, which was taken advantage properly by G. Villanueva/L. Britto throughout the whole set. Right at the first game of the second set, D. Stevenson's failed volley (which was fired too wide) secured their break point before the second seeds broke to 1-0, subsequently consolidated their lead to 2-0. P. Harper/D. Stevenson almost got broken when they trailed by 2 points, but they still managed to get their name on the board with their service game hold to 2-1.

However, P. Harper/D. Stevenson could not sustain the flow, especially as they kept being passed by at the net. This became evident toward the end of the match, where L. Britto's cross-court forehand that passed D. Stevenson at the net secured their one-point lead in the seventh game, where the pair ended up double-faulting for the second seeds' double-break lead to 5-2. As a result, G. Villanueva/L. Britto earned an opportunity to serve for the match, which they eventually did to take the second set 6-2, thus securing them the doubles title.
