Paula Josemaría / Bea González  took their revenge. A few weeks after being eliminated by  Marta Ortega / Sofia Araújo  At the Paris Major, the number 2 seed this time turned the tables in the quarter-finals of the  Rotterdam P2  :  4/6 6/3 6/2 .

A victory that was far from obvious after a first set that seemed to confirm that Ortega / Araújo were becoming a real bogey team for the Spanish pair.

After Paris, Ortega/Araújo start strong again

The last duel between the two pairs had left its mark.

In the quarters of  Paris Major Ortega/Araújo had pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the tournament by eliminating Josemaría/González after more than three hours of fighting. They had even had to save  five match balls  before establishing itself  2/6 7/6 7/6 .

In Rotterdam, the scenario is beginning to take a similar direction.

Ortega / Araújo win the first set  6/4  and are getting closer to a second consecutive victory against their opponents.

This is enough to seriously start sowing doubt in Josemaría / González's mind.

Paula and Bea completely reverse the dynamic

But this time, the reaction comes.

The number 2 seed gradually picks up speed and begins to regain control of the exchanges.

The second set swings decisively in favor of  Josemaría / González which are essential  6/3  to reset the counters to zero.

And in the third round, the dynamic did not reverse.

Paula and Bea accelerate even further, quickly take control and no longer allow Ortega / Araújo to regain the level of the first set.

 6/2 And revenge is taken.

Fernández / Calvo continue their strong momentum

In the semi-finals, Josemaría/González will face a pair that continues to impress:  Claudia Fernández / Martina Calvo .

The fourth seed dominated  Claudia Jensen / Claudia Escacena  in two rounds,  6 / 3 7 / 5 .

Another solid result for Fernández / Calvo, who confirm their very good period and will have another opportunity to test themselves against one of the best pairs in the world.

The clash promises to be particularly interesting between the power and offensive quality of Josemaría / González and a Fernández / Calvo pair that has been accumulating results for several weeks.

Sánchez / Ustero without trembling

In the other half of the painting,  Ari Sánchez / Andrea Ustero  They handled their quarter-final perfectly.

Opposed to  Virginia Riera / Julieta Bidahorria They have established themselves  6 / 3 6 / 2. 

Riera / Bidahorria arrived with a lot of confidence after several good results, but the 3rd seed did not allow the surprise to take hold.

Sánchez / Ustero are therefore once again in the final four.

They are now waiting for the winners of the last quarter-final between  Gemma Triay / Delfi Brea  et  Alejandra Salazar / Aranza Osoro .

In Rotterdam, revenge is therefore complete for  Paula Josemaria and Bea Gonzalez who, after a difficult start, found their rhythm to eliminate the pair who had defeated them at Roland-Garros.

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 !
