The  world number 1  Ariana Sánchez and Paula Josemaría gave the surprise duo Martina Calvo / Aranza Osoro no chance in  Valladolid P2 semi-final In a heated Plaza Mayor, the Spanish women delivered a very solid performance, winning 6/2 6/1 in 1 hour and 26 minutes of play.

 Domination from start to finish 

Already victorious in this face-off in Buenos Aires, Ari and Paula quickly took control of the rallies thanks to better management of important points (6 breaks converted from 10 opportunities), a surgical attack (43 winning points in total), and a much cleaner defense than that of their opponents (only 9 unforced errors against 22 for Calvo / Osoro).

Led by a  Ariana Sánchez  In great form, the number 1 pair once again demonstrated why they are number 1.

 Martina Calvo, a promising young woman 

Despite the defeat,  Martina Calvo  continues to impress.  16 years and 11 months , she was already arguing her  second semi-final  on the circuit Premier Padel, having climbed from 158th to 34th in the world in less than a year. Partnered with Aranza Osoro for what could be one of their last tournaments together, the young Spaniard did not disgrace herself... but the step was simply too high today.

 A pair in search of revenge 

For Sánchez and Josemaría, it was the  28rd consecutive semi-final  together on the circuit. They will aim for a  25rd final , and maybe a  15th title  on the circuit Premier Padel. Note that if Ari has already won in Valladolid (in 2019),  Paula , she has already argued there  three finals without ever winning …An extra motivation to win the title on Sunday.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
