Is it a surprise? Not really. We imagined a nation capable of beating the Spanish women's team in these 2024 World Championships. Even Argentina could not do anything in the final of the World Championships, beaten 2/0.

In the first meeting, the Albicelestial selection sent Virginia Riera et Julieta Bidahorria on the track, in search of a major feat against the second world pair: Gemma Triay et Claudia fernandez. The Argentines made a good start, but the step was much too high on the other side. When it is in place, the Triay / Fernandez pair is almost unplayable… In 1h22 of the match, the first point was already won by the favorites: 6 / 3 6 / 2.

Delfi Brea et Claudia jensen were called onto the track to try to create a feat against the world number 1s, Paula Josemaria et Ariana Sanchez. A feat that they let slip through their fingers since they were leading by a set zero in this encounter and they had the break in the pocket in the third set. It was not necessary to sell the skin of the number 1s before having beaten them and, each time, Josemaria/Sanchez pair found weapons to get by.

After almost three hours of play, Paula Josemaria and Ariana Sanchez brought back this precious point to Spain, which propels the country to the roof of the world. Final score: 3/6 7/5 7/5.

Spain was simply invincible this year. The players only let slip two sets (including one in the final) throughout the week. No team could have come to thwart the plans of the Spanish selection. which logically imposes itself in these World Championships.

It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
