The world number 1s took their revenge against Gemma Triay et Claudia fernandez by winning the Rotterdam P1 final. Paula Josemaria et Ariana Sanchez managed their match perfectly, in two sets, 6 / 4 6 / 4.

A big fight was expected and that was the case in Rotterdam. However, the best start was once again taken by Paula and Ari, as it had been the case in Madrid. The problem was on the returns of serve of Paula and Ari. In fact, Claudia and Gemma only managed to win 6 returns of service from their opponents in the first round…

The world number 1s were able to get the best out of their game and managed to break on their second chance.

In the second round, Ari and Paula were leading 4/0. A coldness had settled on the track between Gemma Triay and Claudia Fernandez who committed a large number of errors. But the first game won by the seed 2 was liberating and the Triay / Fernandez pair caught up at 4/3, coming back to just one break behind.

The turning point of the match came in the eighth game with the four unconverted break balls by Gemma and Claudia. The win of this game had a beneficial effect on the world number 1s, who were struggling at that time. Behind, Paula and Ari only had to conclude… and in style!

Seventh title this season for Paula Josemaria and Ariana Sanchez… It’s a 34th title as a pair for Paule and Ari who are, more than ever, the world number 1s!

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.
