The second Premier will have two new champions Sanchez/Josemaria or Brea/Gonzalez?

The final of the Madrid P1 Premier, the second Premier Padel with a women’s draw, will not be the same as the first. Facing for the title, will be number 1 seed Ari Sanchez and Paula Josemaria and number 3, Delfina Brea and Bea Gonzalez. In the second semi-final the predictions were not respected, with the Argentine and the Spaniard beating Rome champions Gemma Triay and Marta Ortega (6-2 6-2). It was a match that Delfi and Bea led from start to finish, breaking for the first time in the fifth game of the first set. Triay and Ortega were broken again in the opening of the second set, annulled three more balls in the fifth game but were broken another time in the seventh (5-2). Triay and Ortega then found themselves on 15-40, but did not take advantage of the two chances to get back into the match. “Playing here is fantastic, a ‘locura’ – said Delfi Brea -. This final is the result of a lot of work and sacrifice”.

 

In the first semi-final, however, Sanchez and Josemaria defeated the ‘gemelas atomikas’ Sanchez Alayeto. It ended 6-3 6-2 for the world number one who, after a balanced start, broke her opponents in the seventh game of the first set, replicating the break in the sixth game of the second. “The break in the first set was very important – Sanchez’s words -. It was a very difficult match, against two padel legends, with whom all of us of the new generation have grown up. After losing in Rome, it would be nice to win a title at home”. “The start was not easy – said Josemaria – but we kept fighting in the difficult moments. We are happy to have reached the final”.
