The women's final was highly anticipated in Rome, being the first women's final on Premier Padel. The opposition between the queens of the circuit, Josemaria / Sanchez, and Ortega / Triay has kept all its promises.

A real mental battle

In the first heat, it is Marta Ortega and Gemma Triay who take the initiative. From the start of the final, the numbers 1 are broken. Josemaria and Sanchez make unusual mistakes and seem restrained in this early game. Gemma and Marta quietly set the pace and quickly take the lead with a score of 5/0. It's rare to see Sanchez and Josemaria so helpless on the court.

Little by little, the queens of the circuit are regaining confidence and playing more liberated. They manage to reduce the gap to 5/3. Despite this reaction, Marta and Gemma remain focused and manage to win the first set: 6/3.

Confidence is regained for the numbers 1. Ari and Paula are more incisive and achieve two shutouts on their serve. Both pairs show fierce commitment on the pista. Martita and Gemma get break chances, but fail to capitalize on them.

For their part, Josemaria and Sanchez regain their ardor in this second round. 'La dynamita' is talked about with several strokes of genius that amaze the audience of the Foro Italico. More skillful, but above all more liberated, Claudio Gilardino's players widen the gap in this second round and come back tied with their opponents: 6/3 in the second set.

A third set for history

The first game of the deciding set is a real blow for Gemma and Martita. While the players of Maxi Gabriel and Rodrigo Ovide have several chances to win the game, they get broken. However, the answer is not long in coming. Triay and Ortega do not give up and manage to unbreak in stride.

It's a great battle between the two pairs on the Central of Foro Italico. Paula and Ari fall back into their trap in this third set. Gemma and Marta put more intensity and widen the gap by leading 4/1. Victory seems almost certain in Rome, but the queens of the circuit refuse to give up. They are once again drawing on their resources to return to equality. We are witnessing a real mental battle in Rome.

The intensity of the match has dropped significantly, fatigue is felt on each point. Gemma and Marta decide to redouble their efforts at 6/5 on the serve of numbers 1. Josemaria and Sanchez end up cracking losing in three sets 6/3 3/6 7/5
