00:00A big swing could be on the cards in the fight for number one this season.
00:07First, Ari Sanchez and Paula Jose Maria having won two titles on the trot.
00:12Take on.
00:19They have won 11 matches in a row.
00:24They are in their best form of the season.
00:28They are in their best form of Delphi Brea and Gemma Triay today could win their tenth title of the season.
00:34And if they win today, the fight for number one would no longer be in the hands of Jose Maria and Sanchez.
00:43The difference right now in the race of 2025.
00:48Super Sunday is about to get underway.
00:51Delphi Brea with service.
00:58We could hear Rodrigo Vida saying at the end, especially to Delphi Brea, warning her almost, saying that, listen, if you play to the backhand volley of Ari Sanchez, she is always going to look to punish you with her backhand volley to the fence cross.
01:25So to Gemma Triay's fence.
01:28So if you're going to play to her backhand volley, make sure it's a piedra.
01:32So make sure it's a hard hit.
01:34A stone, literally.
01:35Or make sure it's a chiquita that she can't hit down, that she can't attack.
01:40I don't know if she can't attack.
01:47.
01:55.
02:00.
02:05Harry Sánchez sends it up high.
02:19Three-eye in Sánchez.
02:26Interchanging blows.
02:27Here is the lob over Delphi Brea, who sends it flat towards Jose Maria Delphi Brea.
02:32In transition, attacking, and Gemma Three-eye puts that right in the corner.
02:36Three-eye lets up the ball, it's a good one.
03:03Look at the transition now, Sánchez does well in avoiding Brea, who was coming forward like a freight train.
03:11The Chiquita from Three-eye opens up the gap, plays it into the gap, Jose Maria plucks that gap right away.
03:17On the double turnaround, into the net it goes, and there is the break.
03:21Three-eye and Brea draw first blood in this final.
03:26Three-eye.
03:56There's the damage from the backhand volley that Coach Ovide warned about.
04:04Brea, great footwork and anticipation, but surely this will be unrecoverable.
04:09No, it's not the best of smashes from Harry Sánchez.
04:12The switch between Brea and Three-eye.
04:15Good block from Harry.
04:17The lob from Jose Maria, but Three-eye was already in the backcourt.
04:21Runs on to the Chiquita.
04:25Sanchez behind Brea, it's a tricky one, but it bounces up kindly off the fence.
04:29Out it goes.
04:31Break point.
04:32Jose Maria and Sanchez.
04:34And that is a very well-earned break point as well.
04:38Long rally after long rally.
04:41Long rally.
04:41Long rally after long rally.
05:083-0.
05:173-0.
05:29What a pickup from 3-0. Look at this.
05:32Gemma moving laterally, moving vertically,
05:34playing the lob over Jose Maria,
05:36who replies with the rulo.
05:38Soft bandeja through the middle.
05:40Ari Sanchez desperate to retake her net position.
05:42Jose Maria, parallel bandeja, risky one.
05:55Oh, that's a tricky bandeja.
05:57El Triay realized it a little bit too late.
06:00And again, it's a brilliant rally.
06:03This is high-level paddle.
06:23That's going out. Well out.
06:25Hit that.
06:30Cheers.
06:31through the middle it goes
06:55Asprea and Triaya rooted to the spot
06:58looking at one another
06:59and that generates another break point
07:02to make this four breaks in a row
07:05and two apiece
07:06Ari and Paula are starting to steer clear here
07:32that's a perfect gruelo for Ari Sanchez
07:42she loves that shot
07:43Triaya
07:52good switch of directions from Gemma Triaya
07:54now it's Delphi and Gemma suddenly who are...
08:01...
08:11...
08:133-0.
08:433-0.
09:133-0.
09:19There are the three eyes watching on.
09:23González as well.
09:25Praying that his team can get ahead for the first time.
09:28Oh, and a net court deflection marks the difference.
09:44Ari Sanchez and Paula Jose Maria for the first time in this final after going down twice.
09:50Take the lead by four games to three.
09:55Is this the moment where they steer clear?
09:58The difference is not tactical according to the Argentinian.
10:21But rather a case of making too many mistakes.
10:28Certainly Delphi has been making a couple of them.
10:30Of course, they have to.
10:57You absolutely have to get initiative back in this.
11:04A lot of them.
11:09A lot of them.
11:11A lot of them.
11:13A lot of them.
11:14And they're going to be able to do it.
11:16Good job, Jose Maria.
11:18Good job.
11:19Good job.
11:20Good job, Jose Maria.
11:23Good job, Jose Maria.
11:25Good job, Jose Maria.
11:30Good job, Jose Maria.
11:32Awkward bounce, Jose Maria.
11:35Again with one of those tricky bandejas.
11:38Another smash for Paula Jose Maria.
11:43Plenty of gunpowder in that left arm.
11:47Back-to-back bullets from Paula to make this 5-3.
11:57They're almost in the clear.
12:03As far as this first set is concerned.
12:13Nice roll from Sanchez.
12:31Nice roll from Sanchez.
12:37Ari, look for Derulo.
12:39Triay shut it down right away.
12:41Gemma Triay lined up a smash but thought better off.
12:43It will now hit this with a bit more power to the back end of Jose Maria who sets, who fires, who gets it out for 3-3.
12:49Jose Maria generates another set point.
12:53I'd rather sadlyer when a team has got the opportunity to see at the end of Jose Maria, it is a very close,...
13:21I have just been dealt a big time blow by Jose Maria and Sanchez who's coach
13:32Angel Gonzalez has just reminded them that they have to start the second set in the pocket they
13:44have to go out there and morder and bite really go after it but something tells me that we've
13:59got a couple of twists in this final yet to come the viewer as this second set gets up
14:10and running we just want to welcome you one last time if you're just joining us you'll
14:16be seeing Triay smashing it back to her own court not seen a lot of that in the first set
14:21as this is love 30 but we welcome you to our coverage of
14:29Sanchez steps in behind Brea has to dig it out and the follow-up volley from Ari Sanchez is there here we go
14:57everyone 30-40 Sanchez and Jose Maria can take the reins of the second set
15:04can take the reins of the second set
15:11Triay
15:13Triay
15:30chipping away at sanchez whose defense has been supreme all matchlock and in transition trying to
15:36Deals some damage, those volleys to the middle.
15:40Once again, lob is deep and is good from Triay.
15:45Jose Maria sends a high one back.
15:47Brea cocks back, fires blocked by Sanchez.
15:50Jose Maria now with a quick bullet.
15:52Paula, Jose Maria.
15:53Afantej, Sanchez Jose Maria.
16:05Break point number two for Arien Paula.
16:23Courtesy of that sudden smack here, that is just overcooked from Jose Maria.
16:53Maria, we have a counter break point.
16:57Could we embark on a similar streak like in last set?
17:04Brea, the finish, there it is.
17:06Delphi, Brea and Gemma Triay with a crucial counter break to keep themselves not only in the set but in the match as well.
17:162-1 and one break each as we head to the benches.
17:23the final result is a very good match.
17:253-1, 2-1, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2.
17:342-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-3, 1-2, 2-1.
17:48What a huge moment in this final.
18:02Sanchez and Jose Maria have taken the lead.
18:11Will they look back from here on out?
18:17Sanchez.
18:18Fires, and it gets the block to go out.
18:25Brea and Trijai, they have not done since Brussels.
18:30The last four in a row, they had to have all been won
18:34by Trijai and Brea.
18:37Seven of the eight times they've played,
18:40it's been won by Brea and Trijai.
18:42But right now, this is looking like it's going one way
18:46and one way only.
18:476-3, 5-2.
18:49Jose Maria and Sanchez on the cusp of putting their hands
18:54on the FIP World Cup pairs trophy.
18:58Jose Maria attacking.
19:08Jose Maria attacking.
19:11I think Ari and Paula will see that Trijai right now is hurting,
19:16that she's not playing at her best.
19:18There's the forehand, Jose Maria to the feet of Gemma.
19:22This is 40 love, and these are three tournament points for Arianna Sanchez and Paula Jose Maria.
19:30Not only to make it three titles in a row, but to claim this FIP, this would be by far the biggest one.
19:39Sanchez.
19:40Sanchez into the corner.
19:45Sanchez into the middle, lifted up.
19:47Jose Maria for the win.
19:49No, denied on the double turnaround, it's Trijai.
19:52Jose Maria softly touches it across.
19:57The lob is picture perfect from Trijai.
20:01Here, let's go.
20:02Here we go.
20:03Here we go.
20:04Come on, come on.
20:05Come on.
20:06Here we go, come on.
20:07Brea, comes across well as they force the switch.
20:08Here's Ari Sanchez.
20:09And that is out from Brea, and there you have it.
20:13It is game, set, and match for Ari Sanchez and Paula Jose Maria, who win the 5th World Cup pairs,
20:22and who step outside of the shadows and into the limelight,
20:26reminding us all that they are the two-time reigning number ones,
20:31and they are the biggest of champions that this sport has on offer.
20:47They have won everything there is to win, Sánchez and José María,
20:51but this one, this one will be extra special after a season full of ups and downs
21:00where they have been knocked off their perch to deal out a blow like this,
21:06to get back on top like this, and to stay in the fight like this
21:13with momentum on their side, that will feel oh so sweet.
21:19Another look at it.
21:28Astriai held on very well, but as soon as the switch was forced,
21:31you just felt like it was a question of when rather than if, and on the bounce, off balance,
21:40Delfi Brea could not flip it into touch, out it went onto the fence, and that is all she wrote.
21:49Straight away, both of them collapsing to the ground as it all sinks in, as they have to compute it all.
21:55And all that hard work finally pays off.
22:10They've won Opens, they've won Masters, they've won Master Finals, they've won P2s, P1s, Majors,
22:19and now they can add a fifth World Cup of pairs to their trophy cabinet as well.
22:34You put them in any type of paddle tournament, and they will win. It's as simple as that.
22:49And Sanchez, who have traveled, witnessing greatness out on this G&K center court as well, and look at that.
23:06She cannot stop the tears.
23:22Beautiful images here.
23:29That is what a team looks like. That is what hours and hours and hours of off-court work, on-court work,
23:38analysis, homework, physical preparation, mental preparation, when all of that
23:48finally pays off like this.
23:53Nothing.
23:59Nothing.
24:00Nothing from there.
24:04You said nothing.
24:05You're all right.
24:06You take an advantage.
24:08Hmm, everything.
24:11All right.
24:13Now hold on the ball into your ground tonight.
24:16Let's go.
24:17That was official.
24:18There was a little bit too.
24:19Everyone let's get together the ball into the ball into the ball as well.
24:23maligning on the ball in the ball of the ball alles over the ball of the ball,
24:24and let's go with the ball know, go for that ball to the ball.
24:25Oops.
