Paula Josemaría / Bea González  find themselves in a final on the circuit Premier PadelThe world number 2 players dominated  Claudia Fernández / Martina Calvo  in the semifinals of  Rotterdam P2 ,  6 / 3 6 / 4 , at the end of a match that was generally well controlled.

A logical victory, as Josemaría / González seemed to be the better team in the important moments.

A great Paula Josemaría

 Paula Josemaría  will have delivered a very large part.

The Spanish left-hander made a huge difference, both defensively and offensively. She made several spectacular defensive plays, was very present at the net, and consistently put pressure on Fernández/Calvo.

By his side,  Bea González  will have perfectly varied the rhythms.

Patient when it came to building up play, she then accelerated at the right moment to inflict damage in her diagonal shot against Martina Calvo.

Fernandez / Calvo too imprecise

On the other side, the 4th seed failed to produce its best level.

 Martina Calvo  has had more difficulties than in recent weeks, particularly in his diagonal against González.

Same observation for  Claudia Fernández , less incisive offensively and unable to truly take control of the exchanges.

Too many unforced errors and inaccuracies to hope to make the world's number 2 doubt themselves in any lasting way.

A controlled first set

Josemaría / González quickly find a break in the first set.

Once they were in front, they never relinquished their advantage.

Very clean in their service games and superior in the important rallies, they maintained control until the end and took the first set.  6/3 .

Fernández / Calvo come back from 1/4

The second round initially seemed to be taking an even clearer direction.

Josemaría/González achieve a double break and take a commanding lead.  4/1 .

The match then seemed almost over.

But Fernández/Calvo finally find a response. The young Spanish players tighten their game, capitalize on a few opponent errors, and manage to come back to...  4/4 .

The semi-final is wide open again.

Except that the world's number 2 players are not panicking.

À  4/4 They immediately put the pressure back on, find a new break and conclude in quick succession:  6 / 3 6 / 4 .

Another victory against Fernández / Calvo

Josemaría / González thus confirm their recent advantage against this pair.

À  Madrid They had already dominated Fernández/Calvo in the semi-final, but only after a huge battle won  6/4 2/6 7/5 .

This time, they were much more expeditious.

For Fernández/Calvo, the impressive run comes to an end after several very solid weeks, marked in particular by  a title in London, a semi-final in Madrid and a final in Paris .

Six tournaments without a title

For Paula Josemaría and Bea González, the objective is now clear: to regain the title.

Their last title dates back to  Valladolid P2 .

Since then, the two Spanish women have continued to go far but without managing to lift another trophy.

In Rotterdam, they will therefore have the opportunity to end this streak and further reignite the battle for the  world number 1 place .

In the final, they will face the winners of the clash between  Gemma Triay / Delfi Brea  et  Ari Sánchez / Andrea Ustero .

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 !
