The keys to the match

Si  Araújo and Ustero had the chances , especially in the third round, they were unable to capitalize on them. Triay and Brea, often dominated in the game, showed their mental strength and their ability to manage the hot moments. A scenario that confirms their status as the bosses of the circuit, even on less brilliant days.

What's Next ?

Triay and Brea will therefore play a  new final at Roland-Garros , their third Major in a row this season. For its part,  Ustero continues to impress at just 18 years old , while Araújo confirms his fine consistency. But the march towards a Major final still remains a milestone to be reached.

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 !
