Claudia fernandez et Gemma Triay came from very far away in their semi-final against Ariana Sanchez et Paula Josemaria to secure a place in the final at Madrid P1. The Triay / Fernandez pair offers themselves a seventh final this season !

The world number 3 came from far behind, having conceded the first set of the match against Paula Josemaria and Ari Sanchez, 6/4. The number 1s knew how to perfectly maneuver their start to the match to immediately disturb Triay and Fernandez. It lasted a set and a half.

Ahead in the second set, with a break advantage, Paula and Ari seemed to have the upper hand in this semi-final. But a long game of more than ten minutes, with game points and break points, was the turning point of the match. With their backs to the wall, Gemma and Claudia managed a break in extremis… which completely revived them in this match.

Behind, it was a real descent into hell for Paula and Ari, especially. The left player seemed to have come out of her match, committing many errors, especially in the aerial game. This explains, in part, the loss of the second set and the rout of the third.

In the end, Gemma Triay and Claudia Fernandez were able to play perfectly on the confusion of their opponents to offer themselves a remontada in this meeting and qualify for the final… Final score: 3/6 6/4 6/1.

Claudia Fernandez is therefore offering herself a final in Madrid, in front of her family!

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.
