Ariana Sánchez et Paula Josemaría, the world number 1 pair, continue their journey in Miami. They have qualified for their third final in four tournaments this season, after a convincing victory against Bea González et Claudia Fernández on the score of 6 / 1 6 / 4.

A one-sided first set

From the first exchanges, the number 1s imposed their rhythm. Paula Josemaría, in Olympic form since the start of the tournament, delivered an exceptional performance, chaining together winning shots and taking the upper hand on each point contested. His activity on the court was impressive: nearly 55% of the balls hit, and an average close to 2 winning points per game. With a Josemaría in “Dinamita” mode and a solid and serene Ariana, the first set was shipped 6/1 in less than 30 minutes.

A start quickly stifled

The reaction of the 3rd seed was not long in coming. From the start of the second set, Bea González and Claudia Fernández raise their voices, taking advantage of a slight relaxation of the favorites. The game becomes more aggressive, more direct, and the Spanish pair takes the lead until leading 4/1. But the number 1s did not reach this rank by chance: without panicking, they exploit every flaw, Including targeting Claudia Fernandez more, a little more feverish in hot moments.

Result: a meteoric return with 5 consecutive games to close the match 6/4. A demonstration of mental strength and tactical mastery.

The stats speak for themselves

The dominance of Sánchez and Josemaría is not limited to visual impressions. The numbers confirm their superiority:

  • 14 break points obtained (against 5)
  • 43 winning points (against 25)
  • Only 19 unforced errors (against 23 for their opponents)

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 !
