HL - Paris MPP - Semifinals - WM2 Costelo/Osoro vs Ortega/Triay
Transcript
00:00 It's a number eight seeds Castello and Asoro who take on Ortega and Triay the number two seeds
00:08 So here comes
00:10 Jess Castello and Arantha Thu Asoro
00:14 And the question quite simply is will Triay and Ortega be anywhere near their best
00:22 Having some fun with the mascots there. Isn't that great to see?
00:26 So we still have a game point here, Triay and Ortega in this opening game
00:38 And the job finally done
00:44 Just attacking Ortega there but now Triay push back on the backhand
01:09 There's the game for them
01:25 Asoro just saw that and her eyes lit up
01:46 Eventually they hold
01:52 Can't get there, perfectly placed by Ortega who punches the air
01:57 Ortega for a 3 against 2 win
02:22 And there's Asoro who chases it and gets there
02:27 That is remarkable
02:30 And it wins them the point as well
02:36 That looked impossible didn't it
02:40 Look at this for an exit
02:45 That was far too safe and then not safe enough
02:58 Ortega though spinning round to win them the game
03:18 Just individual brilliance there
03:25 See how Ortega when she's at her best that's what she does
03:29 She was looking over her shoulder there as she backtracked
03:33 Once again, step behind her from the back of the court
03:38 Low to the feet
03:44 Actually that low was it but it drew the error
03:54 That's too good from Castello
03:57 So they manage to break
04:04 She's done it again
04:08 Same shot, she's really found her range with that
04:36 Right now they're running away with it here
05:01 And Asoro, the server, loved too having lost the opening set
05:12 Between the legs from Triai, the crowd of course love that
05:16 But Asoro wins the point and she gets them going
05:21 And her partner too
05:24 See a little chat of Vamosh there
05:39 That's as good a response as you can produce under pressure
05:50 Dumped into the net by Ortega
06:05 And having been broken to love they break to love
06:13 That's the portrait of Asoro having got there
06:23 Two points now for 4-2
06:32 Exactly what they did against Brea and Bea
06:37 Didn't work that time though
06:47 Slightly appropriate music there as the march of the second seeds continues
06:56 Mixing up the overheads well here, Gemma Triai
07:05 And cranking up the pressure
07:08 Love 13
07:28 And they grab hold of the chance and they move to within a game now
07:42 They look to be struggling a bit here and not sure
07:59 There's the kick smash from Triai
08:03 And after all the struggles last night
08:07 Today was like a walk in the park
08:10 They were brilliant
08:12 And the second seeds go through to the final to play the number one seed
08:17 Who they beat in Rome
08:20 There was no Brea and Bea this time
08:23 It was Castello and Asoro
08:26 So where they failed in Madrid they succeed here
08:30 And they go through to their second Premier Padel final
08:34 In just three tournaments, outstanding from them
08:44 Thank you for watching!
