Under a crushing heat flirting with the 38 degrees on the central runway, organisms suffer from Valladolid. In the semi-final of the Premier Padel P2, world number 1, Ariana Sánchez et Paula Josemaría, still managed to win against Osoro / Calvo, in particularly trying conditions.

Despite the victory, the two players did not hide their physical fatigue linked to climatic conditions. Feels great for tomorrow, assured Ari, but we had to gradually adapt to the heat and the sun. It's not easy "The star hits hard, the rebounds are faster, the exchanges are shorter, and the body struggles to keep up.

Paula, very attached to this stage of the circuit, confides: “ I feel very good here, I like the atmosphere in Valladolid, but I have to admit that the temperatures are extreme. It ends up taking its toll physically. " She also mentions the recovery time, deemed too short: “ As in Rome, it's not an excuse, but it can really have an impact. ».

To face these conditions, the Spanish pair relies on a careful reading of the terrain. We adapt our game according to the light and shadows. When one of us is bothered by the sun, the other takes over on the fly. ", Explain Ari.

Despite these constraints, the two champions approach the future with ambition. And for Ariadne, winning the tournament here would be more than just a trophy: " I would be very moved to win in Valladolid, especially for Paula ».
