First semi-final of the second edition of the Italy Major with the Alayeto sisters, winners of the Collombon/Iglesias pair, and favorites Ortega/Triay.

The Ortega / Triay storm did not give a gift

The first set turns very largely in favor of Ortega / Triay. The twin sisters undergo in this beginning of meeting and have only one hurry: that the Ortega/Triay storm fades.

While we are heading towards an expeditious 6/1… Surge of pride from the Alayeto twins who manage to achieve a break to return to 2/5. Zaragoza players let loose, take risks to catch up with their opponents, but the Ortega/Triay pair remains solid. The first set ends with a score of 6/2. A one-way first round since they again suffer a break.

The twins are tired. They lack mobility and precision. Since the start of the tournament, they were able to show resistance and we saw it during the match against our French Alix Collombon and her Spanish partner Victoria Iglesias. Today, they face a pair of a higher level. Gemma Triay and Marta Ortega excel in all areas of the game. Majo and Mapi are unruly and suffer more and more. Gemma and Marta logically impose themselves on the center of Foro Italico 6/2 6/2 and offer themselves a third final in a row.

Objective: take a new course

Little by little, the pair Ortega/Triay gain momentum. In Rome, Gemma and Marta hope to reach a new milestone in their association. It's already their fourth tournament together and the two players dispute their third final.

Whatever the adversary, the two Spaniards do not want to relive another missed date. On Sunday, their goal is to win their first title together, but above all to win the first women's trophy on the Premier Padel.
