00:00this being the tenth of them. These two have a pretty good record in those
00:05meetings so you know they're coming in as the number three seeds here and on
00:11paper the underdogs well they will also be aware that whenever they've met this
00:18season in a final against Brea and Triay they've won them all including the most
00:24recent premier paddle tournament in Dubai so no reason for these two to
00:29think that they're coming in as underdogs and indeed
00:37here come the number one seeds on the back of ten victories this season on the
00:46tour including five in a row early at Gihon, Cancun, Miami, Santiago and Qatar they
00:52also won in Rome and Paris reached four finals but here they are having one in
00:58Qatar in Rome and in Paris looking to complete a clean sweep of majors
01:07tonight in the penultimate stop on the tour we will be in Barcelona for finals in a
01:15couple of weeks time the final underway here in Acapulco the net from Brea
01:26that's too good really strong start from Claudia Fernandes I think everybody knows her main strength is how it is
01:34her mental toughness as much as anything something the geometry I identified when she
01:49when she
02:00is

02:12Great defensive work again from Fernandez and Brea.
02:39That's a horrible miss on the cross-court, that's a really bad one.
02:46On break point, but again, Claudia Fernandez, I don't think everybody knows it.
02:52She may be the best defensive.
03:05Gonzalez smash, doesn't go that well, brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
03:11Claudia Fernandez with the Puraway into the corner.
03:15This final could not have started better for Claudia Fernandez and Bair Gonzalez,
03:19and it couldn't have started much worse for Gemma Triay and Delphi Brea.
03:23Their coach, Rodri Ovide, has got some work to do in this first turnaround.
03:30.
03:48Triay wants this and she's got to get it.
03:50Now, there's one of the breaks back.
03:54Well, she might have come up short on the previous one, but this one was never in doubt.
03:58I mean, just look at the kick on that.
04:00Arturo Cuello, who won't meet an idea, him wouldn't have got a contact on that.
04:05.
04:23The solid is on.
04:27Oh, wonderful.
04:30I mean, it's amazing how Triay was able to rescue this leader in the first place.
04:35This is brilliant.
04:36Heading for the exit, but look what Triay does.
04:39But Fernandez is there.
04:42Just to give a little doink into the corner.

07:01Oh, brilliant, brilliant drop shot from Gonzalez as well.
07:08Wow, what a fabulous first set.
07:12That's extraordinary.
07:14That is close to a dismantling of the number ones.
07:31Now, listen to me one thing.

08:26Now, up.
08:28all right now they can transition
08:31and that's what they do with it when they do transition
08:36a point that has summed up this match so far rock solid defensively
08:42and when they get a chance to attack especially with Gonzalez they are ruthless
08:58there's another one from Fernandez
09:07there's a really good lob back in reply though from Brea
09:17not enough on it
09:28nowhere near
09:34oh brilliant brilliant work again what a partnership they're proving to be
09:40Brea forced to cover so much ground that down the line was absolutely the right
09:45shot after a brilliant couple of pickups there
09:50from Fernandez I mean these two are playing lights out right now

14:45There's another one of those kicks out of the fence and another one.
15:05Gonzalez does really well.
15:15Oh, I tell you, Bayer Gonzalez stepping up defensively there.
15:24Boy, she was under some pressure.
15:25Look at this, just dig out after dig out after dig out.
15:33Not sure about that.
15:51Oh my goodness me, how does she keep that alive?
16:15Oh, my goodness.

16:28Two.
16:29Is it on?
16:56Yes, it is.
16:59Oh!
17:01Really quick reactions there from Bayer Gonzalez.
17:06The reactions of a Wild West gunfighter here.
17:09Look how quickly she takes off.
17:11And she's there and she gets it.
17:14And it's another break point.
17:16There's nothing wrong with that smash.
17:19But the Salida is even better.
17:22Bayer Gonzalez.
17:24Well, now then.
17:26That's a great rescue.
17:41Can she get there?
17:42No, she can't.
17:43No, she can't.
17:44And there it is.
17:45Well, what a habit.
17:46These two are forming.
17:48Get to a final.
17:49Take off.
17:50And there it is.
17:51Well, what a habit these two are forming.
17:54Get to a final.
17:55Take off the number one players in the world.
17:56And you beat them.
17:57Four in a row now this year.
17:58An incredible stat.
17:59So, it's Claudia Fernandez.
18:01And for Bayer Gonzalez.
18:02And for Bayer Gonzalez.

18:27It's Claudia Fernandes who picks up her second major and for Bea Gonzalez a first ever premier
18:34paddle major and just look at what it means to these two absolutely brilliant performance
18:41absolutely brilliant especially that first set I mean they can't play much better than
18:47that well it's a fifth win of the year for these two who celebrate with coach Gabi Rekker
18:56after Asuncia, Malaga, Madrid and Dubai back-to-back wins none bigger than this and they'll go into
19:02Barcelona finals with real momentum this one has finished 6-2, 6-4 and we are looking at our PNP
19:11it's a premier battle GNP Acapulco major champions Bea Gonzalez and Claudia Fernandes
19:26these two probably can't believe it every time they run into those two in
19:32a final they lose and in seven completed matches they've only won twice now against these two
19:41the partnerships that broke up a year ago well there's no no disputing which is the dominant pair
19:54when these two met face each other Trier and Bray will still be the number one seeds obviously
20:01but I'll tell you the gap between them and of course Harry Sanchez and Paola Jose Maria the number two rank
20:09well this is how they did it match point that is an absolutely brilliant rescue from Gonzales
20:25one of those trademark deep loves
20:34backhand the pressure it's building it's building it's building still fighting still staying alive but
20:47no she can't get to that one just a wonderful wonderful way to win a major well constructed point like that
21:02well what a way to win your first major
21:15I don't think it'll be the last for Bea Gonzalez a second
21:19having one in Mexico a year ago as well for Claudia Fernandes with Gemma Trier
21:25I don't think she's going to be finished yet either these two
21:28such an exciting pair a as I say a fifth win on the tour this year
21:34and this far and away the biggest and most meaningful
21:44gracious in defeat as you have to be of course
21:50because
21:58you
22:04you
