The women's final Bordeaux Premier Padel P2 2025 will see two pairs face off who have never reached this stage together: Sofia Araújo / Andrea Ustero (seeded #4) against Bea Caldera / Carmen Goenaga (seeded No. 11). Two impeccable runs for these pairs who have not lost a single set throughout the week in Gironde.

Araújo and Ustero: between experience and precocity

For Sofia Araújo, this final marks a new chapter in an already well-stocked career. The Portuguese, double title holder on the circuit Premier Padel in 2024 (in Genoa and Newgiza, with Marta Ortega), will try to win another title, this time with Andrea Ustero, barely 18 years old. If they prevail, Ustero would become the youngest player in history to win a title Premier Padel, at 18 years, 1 month and 24 days – erasing the record of Claudia Fernández (18 years, 2 months and 4 days).

Their only previous clash against Caldera/Goenaga dates back to the round of 2 of the P7 in Asunción, where they won 5/7 6/XNUMX. In Bordeaux, they will play their first final together.

Caldera and Goenaga: the surprise from the shadows

Opposite, Bea Caldera et Carmen Goenaga achieve a historic tournament. Firstly because they reach for the first time in their career a final on the circuit Premier Padel, but above all because they become the first pair ranked outside the Top 10 to reach the women's final. So far, the best performance outside the top 10 was Ustero/Alonso in Dubai (as No. 9).

Before Bordeaux, the Spanish women had never made it past the quarter-finals this season. Their meteoric rise, without dropping a set, is a testament to a impressive level of play, constantly progressing.

Bordeaux, a special tournament for the four players

Each of the finalists had already made their mark in Bordeaux in 2024: Araújo had reached the semi-finals alongside Virginia Riera. Usterus had signed a beautiful quarterfinal with Alejandra Alonso. Caldera also had stopped in quarts, in duet with Lorena Rufo. Goenaga, on the other hand, had not participated to the previous edition.

A high-stakes final

This confrontation between the experience of Araújo, the freshness of Ustero, and the passion of the Caldera / Goenaga duo promises a clash of high intensityWhatever happens, history will be written this Sunday on the Bordeaux track: first victory for the winning pair, and perhaps a new record for the young Ustero.
