For once, the finals of a tournament Premier Padel will take place on a Monday, a Tuesday even in France since the ladies' final begins at 00:30 a.m. French time.

And for this atypical schedule, we will also be entitled to a atypical poster, at least at this stage of the competition. Indeed, the pairs Triay / Fernandez (TS3) and Llaguno / Sainz (TS8) have already faced each other five times in 2024, but never in the final.

And for good reason, if Gemma and Claudia will play their fourth final of the season today, Patty and Lucia have not participated in a final of a top tournament for quite a while (they won the FIP Platinum Sardegna together in 2023 but it is a “secondary” tournament). Indeed, for the two women, it dates back to 2021!

If Sainz and Llaguno are aware that their best years are behind them, they have a unique opportunity to lift a trophy of the Premier Padel. Problem all the same, it's their pet peeve who faces them this evening, a pair against whom they only won one set, and lost ten...

But young Claudia Fernandez has a real chance of winning a first career title, so there will inevitably be a little pressure on her shoulders. And when we know that opposite there are two former number 1s, who together are 78 years old…

You understood, if the final seems unbalanced it could offer us a new sensation in this women's draw marked by surprises. You believe in it ?
