00:00The attention is on these fantastic, powerful...
00:06And here are their opponents.
00:30And if they win today, Pedro González and Claudio Fernández, they would be the first pair in a final to knock out both the number twos and the number one seeds, as they did in Assunción last week when...
00:58...when they knocked out.
01:14Just holding on here, it's a really big moment. If Claudio Fernández and Claudio Fernández can win this first game, there we go, that's a good start, that's what they needed.
01:25We do not want to let Sánchez and José María get an early break here in this first set.
01:31And that would be...
01:33...to a big por cuatro smash. If it goes a bit too far, could hit the back.
01:39So it looks like potentially a little bit of a last resort shot, but it is actually very difficult to execute.
01:45Trying to motivate Claudio Fernández, knowing how important that mental side of the game is.
01:51And I think she's a player that's worked on that a lot, but not getting bogged down and things don't quite go her way.
01:57What's going through their mind, and it is always an advantage for them that they've been dominant at the top for so long.
02:03Over the top of the court, of course it can go over the top of the court.
02:09Or it can come through the door.
02:10Whatever is preferred by the player who is doing the salida, as we said.
02:15And that's what that mental side of the game is, and I think she's a player that's worked on that a lot.
02:18But not getting bogged down and things don't quite go her way.
02:21What's going through their mind, and it is always an advantage for them that they've been dominant at the top for so long.
02:27Over the top of the court, of course it can go over the top, or it can come through the door.
02:34Whatever is preferred by the player who is doing the salida, as we say.
02:39And it was absolutely worth it as they get the break, the first break of this set, taking them 4-2 up.
02:47Let's take a look at this again.
02:49Look at the speed.
02:51She gets in and then gets on the volley as well.
02:54And that is a beautiful play for Mari Sanchez, magicari.
03:01And her work rate is second to none.
03:08She will give it everything for every shot.
03:11Here Gonzalez, and as we said, probably had one of the best games of her career yesterday.
03:17What a shot!
03:20Time to work this out, and also talking a little bit about how to...
03:23How to better defend the Vibora at the net.
03:29That attacking smash from Bea Gonzalez and Claudia Fernandez that has that side spin.
03:34More power than the bandeja.
03:36And then on the other side, it was Gabi Reca with Bea and Claudia.
03:41He was talking a little bit more about the mental side, about saying, hey, it's us three here.
03:46We're a team.
03:47We will find a solution.
03:49And they just need that little bit of uplift here.
03:54A little bit of uplift here.

04:18In advantage.
04:19A 10.
04:20And we will have the advantage.
04:22And we will have the advantage.
04:47Key game for Fernandez-Gonzalez there.
04:51Allowing them to keep a little bit of pressure on the top seeds.
04:56Keeping your head.
05:00And hopefully finding a little gap or making your opposition get the error but not quite yet.
05:11As there is still...
05:14They've managed to get it back to 30-0 here.
05:20And the big smash from Bea González.
05:25To be the Buenos Aires P1 champions.
05:34And they've done it.
05:35They have absolutely done it.

06:02Ari Sánchez and Paula José María are the Buenos Aires P1 champions.
06:10What a final.
06:12They dominated really from the beginning and deserve that so, so much.
06:17Every match in this tournament, they have won in straight sets in front of an adoring crowd here in Argentina.
06:25This is huge for Ari Sánchez and Paula José María after the disappointment of Asunción last week.
06:37They have regained the top spot in the fifth rankings and they are the champions here for the second time in Argentina.
06:55And look.
