This Saturday, the Paraguayan public will be treated to an explosive clash between two of the best female pairs on the circuit: Ariana Sánchez / Paula Josemaría (seeded 1) against Bea González / Claudia Fernández (seeded 3). A clash with the feel of a classic... but for the moment largely dominated by the world number 1s.

A dynamic in favor of Ari and Paula

Le face-to-face is final : 4-0 for Ari and Paula against Bea and Claudia since the beginning of the season. This year, they faced each other in the semi-finals at Miami (6/1 6/4)or a Santiago (2/6 6/3 6/3)or a Doha (6/2 5/7 6/4), and in the final at Riyadh, where Bea had to withdraw.

Still as strong, Ari and Paula remain on a six-game winning streak. Today they are aiming for their 7th victory in a row, and an 23rd final together on the circuit Premier Padel (record), with already 13 tracks to their credit. But be careful: in the event of a defeat this Saturday, and a victory Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay in the other half, they could lose their number 1 throne...

Bea and Claudia want to break the streak

Facing them, Bea and Claudia argue their fifth consecutive semi-final. In search of a second final in 2025, they qualified without forcing: a 6/2 6/1 against Castelló / Rufo, then a victory after Icardo / Jensen retired when they were leading 3/0.

Bea aims her 13rd final on the circuit (7 titles), Claudia sa 15e (6 titles). But a major challenge awaits them: They have never beaten Ari and Paula together yet., despite their consistency this season.

Contrasting backgrounds in Asunción

Last year, Bea González had won the tournament right here with Delfi Brea, while Claudia had lost in the final with Triay facing… Bea and Delfi. As for Ari and Paula, they had been stopped in the semi-final by Claudia and Triay.

A year later, the cards have been reshuffled. The momentum is clearly tilting toward Sánchez and Josemaría… but revenge is a powerful force. The verdict will be delivered in a few hours on Asunción's center court.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
