00:00CLAUDIA FERNANDEZ!
00:03well it's almost a year ago that Gemma Triai shocked everybody when she said i'm going to
00:08partner with Claudia Fernandez in 2024 the youngster Claudia not even ranked in the world's
00:14top 20 at that time but Gemma Triai has proved to be an inspiration of course a year ago there
00:22were no such discussions about Paola Jose Maria and Ariana Sanchez they ended last year as world
00:29number ones they're going to end this year as world number ones as well they've been together
00:32since 2021 they're not breaking up yet far from it why would you
00:59oh what a look perfect judgment on that
01:29oh
01:43she's very fortunate exactly
01:49when you have one of the players like that you should target her
01:53yeah well Paola Jose Maria so well time for me to get in
02:23oh i'll tell you
02:43nope that's going to get away again
02:53but no stays too short
03:07does that kick out of the fence again
03:11reflexes there from Sanchez yeah she tried her defense many times but
03:17they get there in the end don't they what a battle that was
03:21for changing things around and because like this we're not gonna win we might be close but we're
03:28not gonna win so we need to put a little bit more effort in and do some changes
03:50so
04:05yeah it was a nice vibra from trio coming off the two surfaces in the corner and that
04:09gave adi and paula the confidence they needed to break on this game
04:15now we're more than even
04:29i mean we need to understand that claudia still 18 years old she is her first
04:36two premier finals i mean it's for sure it's a lot for her to process and she might have these
04:46few moments throughout the match lovely lovely steal there from Jose Maria as you say halfway through it
05:05oh
05:18kicks out of the fence off that rulo it's coming easy today for these two
05:36Sanchez takes a vibra drops it at the feet of Gemma Triai and for the first time in the match
05:45so
06:02not being rewarding that fence lately
06:04lately
06:22nice claudia
06:25oh no she's overcooked it now we've seen 40 loves disappear yeah
06:55so
07:10beautiful oh she got it back
07:15wow they are turning on the jets here
07:21that's a lovely serve
07:25oh
07:51good force there from Fernandez pushed it deep
07:56so
08:10loves being a little short right now on Gemma
08:16so adi can do a piazzetta
08:20yeah like that very important
08:40it's gonna stay in oh my god that was easy oh no
08:50so
09:09lovely lovely sneaky little rulo shot comes in from Ari Sanchez and that might be
09:20um
09:33she saw
09:43oh no she's missed it and we have our champions it's the number one seeds
09:55six three and six three they take it six three six three dispose of their arch rivals in a
10:04strange find it has to be said it never really hit the heights i don't know if it was nerves
10:09tension just a bit of tiredness at the end of such a long and absorbing season
10:14at a match like that you just want to come out on the right end of it and that's what's happened
10:18for paola jose maria and ariana sanchez who can now celebrate their 37th title as a partnership
10:26and what a venue to do it at as well what a journey for the number ones been so far i mean
10:35right now they have won it all and this is confirming their dynasty right absolutely
10:43dominium on on the tour whenever we maybe doubt about it after acapulco
10:54after not playing in milan acapulco losing in semi-finals i mean they just come here and just
11:02completely dominate on every match
11:08what a team what a night of celebrations it's going to be a perfect end to what's been an
11:16extraordinary season for paola jose maria and ariana sanchez the world number ones
11:22also we saw a huge hug from gemma triai and claudia fernandez after their last match together
11:31because as we know they're separating their ways on 2025 so this was their last match and it was a
11:38very emotional goodbye for them too big applause for their season also they have done an amazing job
11:46an amazing job
11:50what a shame it ended on an error like this as well trii looking for the rulo and that kind of
11:57encapsulates their match doesn't it they just couldn't take the opportunities when they were
12:02there they coughed up too many errors and the stats at the end of the match which we'll see
12:07later on i think will confirm that yeah and you don't want to make it easy for these two i feel
12:12they were too close yet too far and with the number ones too close it's not enough yeah
12:19it's not enough at all so you need to confirm every chance that you get
12:26yeah i feel they worked so hard to get those chances but couldn't confirm and
12:31and it's not easy whenever you think you have a little chance they put it even harder
12:36for you to win each point so
