Always in search of 'the decima', Josemaria and Sanchez were relentless in Madrid against the Alayeto sisters. Sunday, the numbers 1 will play their 12th final in 2023.

The numbers 1, once again above

The first women's semi-final of P1 Madrid Premier Padel initially lacked rhythm. Both pairs were unruly and lacked precision in the first set. The Gemelas atomikas did not know how to take advantage of the lack of regularity of the queens of the circuit.

As they have known very well since the start of the season, Paula Josemaria and Ariana Sanchez have been able to raise their level of play at the best time. The latter put more intensity and gradually regain control of the meeting. After making the break, numbers 1 take advantage in the first set: 6/3.

In the second round, Claudio Gilardoni's players once again go up a notch. The “Gemelas atomikas” suffer and fail to hold on to their opponents. More aggressive and enterprising than twins, Paula and Ari dictate the game in the second set. Unable to find the solutions, the Alayeto sisters fall into a false rhythm and collect 10 consecutive points. The numbers 1 impose themselves in two rounds with mastery in Madrid, win 6/3 6/2.
