It took a little over 2h30 for Paula Josemaría and Ari Sánchez to defeat Lucia Sainz and Patty Llaguno in the semi-final of the Malaga P1.
The veterans Llaguno and Sainz arrived in the semi-final with great confidence, having dismissed Marta Ortega and Sofia Araujo in the quarter. But this Saturday they were unable to create a new surprise at the Palais des Sports Martin Carpena.
Indeed, facing her were the world number 1s, and even if they are less prolific than last season, Angel Gonzalez's players remain the reference on the women's circuit. They showed it again this Saturday by showing control in hot moments.
Final score 6/2 3/6 6/4 for Ari and Paula who join Gemma Triay and Claudia Fernandez in the final. The 3 seed did not need to play to qualify, with Bea Gonzalez having withdrawn due to a pectoral injury. Will this extra freshness make the difference tomorrow in favor of those who won the P1 in Santiago and the P2 in Bordeaux?
