In a women's circuit where the changes of partners have become commonplace, Paula Josemaría et Ariana Sánchez are an exception. Since now four Seasons, the two Spanish women are inseparable and embody a rare stability, almost precious, in professional padel. An invisible, but essential asset, which could well explain their current supremacy.

"This time spent together inevitably creates a bond, affection. It's not the same to play with someone for a month than to share four years of your sporting life. This trust, this security that we have in each other, is what makes the difference."

Their automatisms, their a smooth communication, their ability to support each other in the down times… all this is the fruit of a background work, patiently built, without giving in to the temptation of hasty breakups.

And if they lose a match, that bond remains. It's this human solidity, even more than their level of play, which distinguishes them according to Paula:

"We can win or lose, yes. But in the love we have for each other, the trust we have, and everything we've worked on together, I think we're unique."

In a sport where everything is moving faster and faster, Ariana and Paula remind us of one essential thing: The real strength of a team lies not only in talent, but in the quality of the relationship. which unites its two players.

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 !
