Here we are. The last finals of the year 2019 for the players of the World Padel Tour. Ladies and gentlemen, children, it's this Sunday and from 10 a.m. Finals to watch as a family.

But what spectacle will these artists of the pala still offer us?

From 10am we will find the men's final which has a taste of 2018 in a sense because Belasteguin and Lima are the last winners, but today they will be face to face.

Let's quickly return to the semi-finals. Bela / Tapia master in 2 small Lebron / Navarro sets that have not found the solutions. Perhaps the experience of Belasteguin at this level of the competition or perhaps the unconsciousness of Tapia who has not yet played his 100th game at the professional level? In any case, they are present this Sunday against Lima / Galan. Score 6/3 7/5.

Lima / Galan, precisely who came out of a strange match against Gutiérrez / Sanchez. Certainly difficult conditions of play which did not allow to strike the balls violently had to make adapt the play and the tactics. Long points, worked, very tactical, logically a game for Sanyo, but in the end it will be Galan and Lima who will make fewer mistakes. This match was not won by direct points but by direct faults; rare right? At the end of the third set, nothing was going well for Maxi and Sanyo who had given up, not even encouraging each other. Score 6/4 4/6 6/1.

The men's final is one of those we expected: two pairs that combine experience with Bela on one side and Lima on the other, and new generation with Tapia and Galan. No predictions, make way for the show.

In the ladies, we will find the dream final between the pair number 1 and the pair number 2.

In its semi-final, the Marta's made the powder talk against Reiter / Navarro by spending very little time on the track. A clean match without burrs 6/3 6/1.

Alejandra Salazar and Ariana Sanchez did not have as many facilities against the rising pair Brea / Gonzalez. It was in the third set that everything was decided. Hanging balls, long points, worked, and a semi-final which will go to the decisive game. Our experience can confirm this. In large numbers of high level matches, during difficult times, it is usually the highest ranked pair that wins. Which was the case. Victory for Ale and Ari 3/6 6/3 7/6.

The final between Marta Marrero / Marta Ortega and Ari Sanchez / Ale Salazar will be played following the men's final.

Good Sunday and long live the padel.
