It had been almost two months since this dream match in the women's competition took place! It must be said that Claudia Fernandez and Gemma Triay had missed a few finals! Since the Valladolid P2, where they had triumphed against the world number 1s, Gemma and Claudia had not reached the final of a tournament.

Triay / Fernandez: a complicated end to the season

In Paris, they had been surpassed by Alejandra Salazar et Jessica castello, at the end of a crazy match on the Philippe Chartrier court. The Parisian adventure ended in the quarter-finals, after 3 hours and 27 minutes of combat!

In Egypt, Castello / Salazar had done it again against the world's second pair. This time, no marathon match and a victory in two sets for the fourth pair in the FIP ranking who had won 6 / 3 6 / 4. Triay / Fernandez lost in the semi-final.

NewGiza P2 – Jess Castello and Ale Salazar do it again against Triay / Fernandez

In Dubai, Gemma Triay and Claudia Fernandez had once again reached the last four, but, to everyone's surprise, had been beaten in two sets by impressive ones Alejandra Alonso et Andrea Ustero.

Express victory in the semi-final face Delfi Brea et Bea Gonzalez in Kuwait P1 must have greatly relieved Triay and Fernandez, who are finally back in the final! But be careful, they won't be facing just anyone since Paula Josemaria and Ariana Sanchez are waiting for them!

A title, a semi-final and an absence

For the world number 1s, the end of the season is nothing like that of their main opponents of the season! Indeed, since Valladolid and the lost final, Paula Josemaria and Ariana Sanchez have only played two tournaments (and the World Championships in the middle).

There was obviously the Paris Major and the coronation of the world number 1s… then the absence at the NewGiza P2. The most successful pair in history had decided to skip the event, banking on a well-deserved rest after a long season on Premier Padel.

For their return to Dubai, Paula and Ari lost to Delfi Brea and Bea Gonzalez. It is also a return to the final for the world number 1s from Paris!

The final will be broadcast from 15 p.m. in France:

Gwenaelle Souyri

It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
