Ari Sanchez, champion at home: the Premier Padel Finals already has its queens!

La categoría femenina ya cuenta con sus respectivas campeonas en esta histórica y primera edición del Premier Padel Finals. Así ha sido como se ha desarrollado el partido por el bronce y la gran final:

Ari Sanchez is champion at home

The final pitted the two best couples of the year: Ari Sánchez and Paula Josemaría, world number ones, against Gemma Triay and Claudia Fernández, the second seeds.

From the start, both couples showed mutual respect, with a game marked by nerves and caution. The first set was an extremely slow battle, with more unforced errors than winners. After an hour of play, the number ones managed to find some more consistency and closed out the first set 6-3.

The second set was almost a carbon copy of the first. Inaccuracies continued to be the protagonist, and the match was defined more by the ability to avoid mistakes than by the hits. Once again, Ari and Paula knew how to manage the key moments better and took the set with another 6-3, securing the title.

With this victory, Ari Sanchez is proclaimed champion of the most prestigious tournament of the season at home, the Palau Sant Jordi, closing a perfect year with Paula Josemaria. A couple that continues to write golden pages in the history of women’s padel.

Delfi and Vero take the bronze in Barcelona

The novelty of the bronze medal match at the Premier Padel Finals has been a great success. This format, which added an extra match to the finals day, allowed Delfi Brea and Vero Virseda to take on Jessica Castelló and Alejandra Salazar to decide the third position of the tournament.

Despite the initial uncertainty about the interest it could generate, the match was played with total seriousness by both pairings. From the start, Brea and Virseda, a circumstantial couple in this tournament, dominated clearly. Delfi, who has had an extraordinary year despite the injuries that have weighed down his usual partner, showed an outstanding level to lead Vero to victory.

The final score, 6-3/6-0, showed the superiority of the Argentine-Spanish duo, who close this Premier Padel Finals with a well deserved third place. Delfi and Vero can leave Barcelona with their heads held high after a tournament that left some memorable moments.

With the first edition of the Premier Padel Finals, women’s padel closes a historic season, marked by the dominance of Ari Sanchez and Paula Josemaria and the consolidation of new figures. 2024 is already part of the history of padel!
