Let's get down to business Paris Major with a duel between: Marta Ortega / Tamara Icardo (TS5) against the queens of Roland-Garros, Ariana Sánchez / Paula Josemaría (TS2). A confrontation between a confident pair and the historic champions of the Chatrier and in this duel Ortega and Icardo are leading for the moment in the direct confrontations ( 1 - 0 )
Ortega and Icardo, the momentum regained
Finalists in Malaga, Marta and Tamara confirm their momentum by reaching their second half together and their very first in a Major. For Ortega, it's a return to the forefront nine months after his last appearance at this stage of a Major (Mexico 2024). For Icardo, it's even Doha 2024 .
In the quarter-finals, they played a great game to eliminate Bea González and Claudia Fernández after 2h31 of battle , taking their revenge on the Andalusian final in the process. Whatever happens, the pair already come out on top: they defended their points and will leave Paris with a bonus in the ranking.
Ari and Paula, invincible at Roland
It's hard to do better than the world number two on Parisian clay: 12 consecutive wins and two titles (2023 and 2024). They are aiming for a historic hat-trick and a 13th consecutive victory at the Paris Major.
Their regularity commands respect: on 8 Majors played , they have only lost once in the semi-finals. Already four major coronations to their credit, but none yet in 2025 despite four titles won this season. In the quarter-finals, they rolled against Caldera / Goenaga (6/2 6/4 in 1h38), without ever trembling.
A small detail: even if they win here, they will cede their individual No. 2 spot in the FIP to Delfi Brea. But as a duo, they will remain firmly in place. the world's number 2 pair .
A poster that promises
Ortega and Icardo are currently leading in direct confrontations ( 1 - 0 ). But facing them, Ari and Paula know the Chatrier by heart and have never lost there. Everything is in place for an explosive semi-final: either the confirmation of Marta and Tamara's rise to power, or a new demonstration by the queens of Paris.
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 !
