After Miami, the circuit Premier Padel stops at Santiago, in Chile, with a notable particularity: the same posters in the final than the previous week… but in radically different conditions. Gone are the days of slow, controlled play on Florida's indoor courts: in comes the exterior and fast from Chile, which could well reshuffle the cards.

Triay and Brea take place in Chile

Still as strong, Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea confirmed their excellent dynamic. In the semi-finals, they left no chance to the duo Alonso / Ustero, swept away in less than an hour (6/1 6/2). This is the fifteenth consecutive victory for the Spanish and the Argentinian, who will play their matches this Sunday fourth final in a row, with the ambition of winning a fourth title in five tournaments since the beginning of their association.

Lebrón and Stupaczuk, a decisive comeback

At men's, Juan Lebrón and Franco Stupaczuk had to work hard to reach the final. Led after a first set well negotiated by Tello and Libaak, the two men reversed the trend in the second act. Physically embarrassed, the young Libaak struggled to maintain the intensity, which Lebrón and Stupa took full advantage of to win in three sets: 3/6 6/3 6/1. They will thus play their second consecutive final together.

Ariana and Paula still win in three sets

The world's number 1 pair, Ariana Sánchez and Paula Josemaría, had to fight again to win. Faced with Bea González and Claudia Fernández, the leaders of the classification gave up the first set before raising the tone in the next two (2/6 6/3 6/3). While Bea and Claudia showed some good things, their inconsistency cost them dearly against such an experienced pair. Ariana and Paula will play their third season finale, with the aim of taking revenge on Triay and Brea.

Galán and Chingotto accelerate at the right time

Finally, in a highly anticipated semi-final, Alejandro Galán and Fede Chingotto have once again dominated Yanguas and Nieto, like in Miami. After a first set very contested, won in the tie-break, the Spanish-Argentine duo took the lead in the second set (7/6(2) 6/2), taking advantage of his better reading of the game and his physical intensity. It will be their second consecutive final, with the desire to confirm their status by chaining a second title in a row.
