In the final of this Valladolid, we found the number 1 seed facing the number 2 seed: Ari Sanchez/Paula Josemaria salary. Claudia Fernandez/Gemma Triay. We were hoping for a balanced encounter, but the match was one-sided, with a revenge of Rotterdam and a victory in two sets of TS2 : 6 / 3 6 / 2.

Claudia fernandez et Gemma Triay achieve two breaks at the start of this first set. A perfect start against Sanchez / Josemaria, who are struggling in the game and have to face a very offensive game from Gemma Triay the TS2 win this first set 6/3.

In the second set, same scenario: Gem et Claudia break the world number ones right away. The world number two pair seems largely superior to Sanchez / Josemaria, especially at 5/2, where we see Paula in difficulty, dominated by Claudia and clearly bothered by a contracture in her right calf, which does not help matters.

Final score: 6/3 6/2.

We will remember the 34 unforced errors de Sanchez / Josemaria, far from their usual standards. It is above all an important victory for Gem et Claudia facing the world's top pair, a real boost for morale.

By the way, it's a 3rd final in three weeks for Claudia fernandez et Gemma Triay, but they lost in two sets to Sanchez / Josemaria in previous finals. Gemma Triay is the only one that can upset the hegemony of the world's number ones, since it is just over 3000 point gap. With even more 9000 point in play before the end of the season, it seems complicated, given the lead of Sanchez / Josemaria is important, but technically it is still possible.

Ce Valladolid P2 indoor should not remain so for very long. Indeed, this year is a little special since this Spanish stage came to replace a stage in Germany end of September. A priori, next year we hope to find one of the most famous places in the world of padel, the Plaza Mayor of Valladolid, which has long been one of the great traditional stages under the era of World Padel Tour.

Now it’s time for the men’s classic!
