No miracle for the pair  Victoria Iglesias / Marina Guinart . Opposed to  Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea  in the semifinals of  BNL Italy Major , the Spanish outsiders were no match.  Clear victory 6/3 6/1  of the second seed, who confirm their status and validate their ticket for a new Major final.

 A first set controlled from start to finish 

Yet everything had started well:  both teams hold their face-off  in the first plays of the match. But at  3/2 , Triay raises his voice.  Powerful in smash , perfectly helped by  fast conditions , she makes the difference. The break is immediate, Iglesias and Guinart  cannot restart  nor to hinder the favorites on their services. Result:  6/3  for Triay / Brea.

 A second one-way set 

The dynamic doesn't change when the benches return. Entry break for the number 2s, and  chain of unforced errors  Guinart / Iglesias side, especially on the fly. In front,  Delfi Brea  shines in this sector and  takes the net to his account , multiplying the winning points. The set goes by, the gaps widen:  6/1 .

 29 winning points for Triay / Brea against 18 for their opponents , a clear domination in the offensive phases. At no time were the outsiders able to truly reverse the trend.

 Triay and Brea, semi-final machines 

This victory extends an impressive series:  Triay and Brea have never lost a semifinal to a team outside the top 3 .

Triay also continues to write its own story: it is  the only player to have won a Major with three different partners  (Ortega, Fernandez, Brea). If they win on Sunday, they would add another line to this already unique list of achievements.

 Final in sight, but against whom? 

Triay and Brea now await their opponents, who will emerge from the clash between the  numbers 1 Sanchez / Josemaría  and the pair  Fernandez/Gonzalez (No. 3) A poster that promises to be much more contested, and which will determine who will try to stop  the Triay / Brea machine  finally.

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 !
