Make way for the finals of World Padel Tour Finnish Open. Before meeting in a few days in the French capital, the elite of the padel world met this week in Tampere for this first tournament of the season. The day will begin with the women's final at 13:00 p.m., featuring Delfina Brea and Beatriz Gonzalez facing Alejandra Salazar and Sofia Araujo.

This duel is highly anticipated, because the Brea/Gonzalez duo has spared no one since the start of the week, winning without much difficulty during their previous meetings. The two players will have to face the “Queen” Ale Salazar, who, for her big return to competition, alongside her new partner, managed to qualify for the final. It's an unprecedented match that we will have the chance to see this afternoon.

Among the men, Juan Lebron and Alejandro Galan, more motivated than ever, will make their debut on the track. Former WPT Ranking No. 1s will be pitted against the tournament's surprise pair, Jon Sanz and Coki Nieto. The latter created a surprise by eliminating the Capra/Sanchez pair in the quarter-finals in just two sets, 6/3 – 7/5, and in the semi-finals Mike Yanguas and Fernando Belasteguin with the score of 7/5 – 4/ 6 – 6/3. The two young players will thus play their first final together.

These two matches can be followed live on Canal + Sports 360.
