00:30To keep their claim on the throne, Arie Sanchez playing as good as on home soil, she grew
00:37up just a 10 minute car ride from here in the town of Reus, trained in Tarragona as a
00:44youngster, a lot of her formative years.
00:47This is it, this is what we were waiting for.
01:02Quick exchange here.
01:16Move from Delphi Brea over Paula Jose Maria.
01:21Reus looking for the fence.
01:40Reus takes it off.
01:43Finally, that's a little bit too strong.
01:50Beautiful passing shot from Delphi Brea.
01:57Pickup from Arie Sanchez, Yema Triay.
02:00Always looking to get involved is Yema.
02:04A beautiful pickup because that was raining down on her.
02:12Again from the corner, the backhand lob.
02:14Here is Triay.
02:15And that was almost going out for 3 between the legs by Yema, but it's to no avail.
02:201-0 then.
02:45Happy to keep defending from the corner.
02:47Double glass there from Yema and a perfect lob.
02:52That came at her with so much zip, so much venom.
02:57Here is Triay.
03:22Brea opening up all kinds of angles.
03:25Triay's lobbing has been excellent so far.
03:44Of course, the moment I say that, it goes out.
03:48It's incredible, isn't it?
03:50She was under a lot of pressure there.
03:532-1, Arie and Paula.
03:56Everyone sticking with serve so far.
03:58.
04:04.
04:07.
04:10.
04:19.
04:20.
04:21.
04:53Beautiful backhand volley from Brea.
05:10Wow, huge defense.
05:12Jose Maria on the bounce.
05:23Jose Maria's overhead was...
05:28Yeah, using every inch of the court available to her.
05:56Jose Maria was a good pick-up, though, and for me, Delphi Rias positioning there.
06:06All right, we'll have another first serve.
06:09Fair enough.
06:13Triay.
06:14Let's fly for Tres by Jema Triay.
06:17How about that when you're at set point down?
06:20Jema says...
06:23Rolls up her sleeves.
06:24Well, she's playing without sleeves, but proverbially rolling up her sleeves and letting fly.
06:29Jema Magnifica.
06:30Sua Maria working with Brea.
06:59Gabriel puts it up high, will rope this at Paola Jose Maria, but she has the tools to defend.
07:13Consistent pressure, such a good change of directions from Delphi there.
07:17One cross, back to attack Jose Maria, then opens up her racket here at the last second.
07:22Plays it to the ball, Giovanni Sanchez, who stumbles down, who couldn't defend.
07:26And this is the first break of the match, when pre-return, Delphi and Jemas.
07:31This is the 64th, and it couldn't be any closer.
07:36Right now, the head-to-head is 32-31 to Triay.
07:41Sanchez, beautiful recovery, but Brea kept it alive.
07:45The Chiquita from Brea, a little deflection of the net cord, then puts it onto Ari Sanchez's side.
07:52Great hustle play from Delphi Brea.
07:57Nice hand.
08:03Good job, General, 힘들 denied positions...
08:04Beautiful, double glass by Jose Maria.
08:07LA I don't know that it is.
08:12It is $0.
08:17Beautiful double glass by Jose Maria.
08:20Jose Maria wants to take over.
08:22Maria wants to take over, Sánchez soft touch, Brea digs it out, hard volley on the backhand
08:29by Adi Sánchez who's coming alive again, you thought it was over here, it was a killer
08:43forehand volley, but Adi says hang on a minute, I've got another trick on my sleeve, and Delphi
08:51thinks that she touched it twice, but I don't think she did, you know.
09:08Backhand through the middle from Jemma, briefly lined up a smash, this will be a real smash from Jemma,
09:15it's staying in, Adi has a touch and Brea says get that round thing out of here.
09:21has three of them, two on her own serve.
09:25Down right, on the left, down to the right.
09:28Down right.
09:29Down right, down right.
09:30Down right, down right, down right, down right.
09:32Down right.
09:33Backhand through the middle from Jemma, briefly lined up a smash, this will be a real smash
09:39from Jemma, it's staying in, Adi has a touch and Brea says get that round thing out of here.
09:45Has three of them, two on her own serve.
09:54Jose Maria picks it up, and it stays.
09:59Big smash to the feet of Brea.
10:01Jose Maria puts it into the net, so this has massive implications.
10:20Brea and Triay take the first set.
10:31Grullo from Ari, the chef's specialty from Ariana Sanchez.
10:4531.
11:01.
11:04.
11:06Beautiful.

11:59Jose Maria went hard to the net and Delphi Brea plugs that gap on her right so quickly,
12:18so fly to foot there.
12:27That's not going out and Adi Sanchez can't get on it either.
12:55No doubt about that from Paula Jose Maria.
13:17Jose Maria.
13:39Reflection of the net court and out it goes.
13:51Samuel Matriai beautifully played.
14:03Jose Maria somehow kept it alive and this will be another break point because of Paula Jose
14:15Maria's sheer brilliance.
14:17How did she keep this in?
14:35That is over two games worth just of unforced errors.
14:41So that's points that you're just giving away for free.
14:47Time deflection off the net court.
14:50Jose Maria does really well.
14:52Here comes the bajada from Adi Sanchez.
14:59Here comes the look of it.
15:00Por tres it goes.
15:01There is Adi Sanchez.
15:02There is Ariana Sanchez on the recovery.
15:05Out she goes.
15:06Sanida completed.
15:07Everyone in the crowd stunned.
15:09Sanchez.
15:10Sanchez.
15:11The bandeja.
15:12Brea picks it up in transition going at Adi.
15:16And there it is.
15:17There's the moment.
15:18There is the moment.
15:19Delphi Brea and Jema Triai are the new queens of professional battle for the first time in over two years.
15:40In over two years, Adi Sanchez and Paula Jose Maria have been knocked off the throne and all hail the new queens Delphi Brea of Argentina and Jema Triai of Menorca.
16:00For the first time in 13 years, an Argentinian number one in women's battle.
16:08A massive moment for this young woman Delphi Brea.
16:16Of course, they still have to close out the season.
16:19Of course, this isn't in.
16:28But this could be the moment where they look back on.
16:38As the day where everything changed.
16:41The day.
16:45Where they went from being the hunters to becoming the hunted.
16:49What a moment for Brea and Triai.
17:02Yema Triai as well, who had to make deal with two years away from that spot at number one.
17:09Two years of seeing Jose Maria and Sanchez sitting on that throne that she would consider to be hers.
17:18But she's back now.
17:20For Brea, this will be a brand new feeling.
17:25And for Sanchez and Jose Maria, this will also feel like a new feeling.
17:30Having lost the number one again and again to Delphi or to Yema Triai, excuse me.
17:36Just like they did at the end of 2022.
17:39And that must bring back some flashbacks as well for Adi and Paula.
17:45This is not over yet.
17:47In terms of the fight for number one this year.
17:53But it's now advantage Delphi Yema.
17:56And they'll have as a couple that little one next to their name when we are in Madrid next month.
18:13And what a moment as well for Argentinian Paddle.
18:17Again, not since the great Ceci Reiter, the legend Ceci Reiter in 2012.
18:26Has there been an Argentinian number one in women's battle?
18:29It's been all Spaniard since then.
18:34All Argentinian hopes for some years have been on Delphi.
18:39She was a hugely promising talent when breaking through, when she started to win titles.
18:47She was a hugely promising talent when she started to win.
18:50She's a hugely promising talent when she started to win.
19:02And Team Delphi.
19:04Cue the celebrations.
19:10all the hard work all those years away from her native argentina all of the hours in the winter
19:20late nights early mornings out on the paddle court in the gym this is why you do it
