00:00Airways premiere paddle season. We're live from the Palau San Jordi in Barcelona, this week's
00:06world capital of paddle, and let's meet our first contenders. This is Bea González, this is Claudia
00:17Fernández, the third seed, La Perla, Bea González, La Niña Maravilla, and Claudia Fernández, the
00:25Spanish duo, Bea González from Málaga, Claudia Fernández from Madrid, ranked at number
00:31six and number five in the fifth, this is theirs for the taking, they are the pair to
00:37beat, here come Gemma Triay and Delfina Brea, Delfi Brea, the Argentinian from Buenos Aires,
00:44Gemma Triay from Mahon in Spain, the world number one and two, a pair that came together
00:55at the start of this season to disrupt the world ranking, to dethrone Ari Sánchez and
00:59Paola José María.
01:00Thank you very much.
01:1415-0, fitting long.
01:16Thank you very much.
01:28First two good points for Triay and Rea.
01:47Rea serves towards Claudia Fernandez.
01:51There will be nerves coming into this.
01:53Of course it's been an emotional week for Nea Gonzalez with the passing of her grandfather
01:59and not having her family here in that first quarterfinal match.
02:02We saw them here yesterday supporting her.
02:17Fantastic volleys from Claudia Fernandez.
02:19And she comes again. It's just in.
02:23Attacking towards Demetria, who so far has made the most errors out of the players on court.
02:28It's saved through the legs from Bea Gonzalez.
02:30Little drop shot from Brea is picked up by Fernandez.
02:33What a rally we're witnessing here on the court.
02:40Gonzalez tries to calm it down with a lob.
02:43And in the end it is Claudia Fernandez with the forehand towards Delphi Rea, who set her feet.
02:55What a rally.
02:5734 shots long, the longest point of the game so far.
03:01And we stick on the serve.
03:03They're going to side is Claudia Fernandez.
03:05Save two break points.
03:06They go on to win the game.
03:08Down the line is the serve from Demetria.
03:10The Chiquita shot, that one that falls at the feet of your opponents.
03:31Claudia Fernandez trying to find the gap.
03:43Good lob from Brea.
03:44Towards Claudia Fernandez, who has played more of the paddle so far between herself and Gonzalez.
03:52Almost 60% of the players going towards Claudia Fernandez.
03:57On the opposite side of the net, it's a little bit more even.
04:0053%.
04:01Delphi Rea, 47%.
04:03Vigema Triay.
04:04Exceptionally defending in the corner of the double glass from Gonzalez.
04:32Pajada from Triay finds the angle.
04:42Bea Gonzalez with the diving save.
04:44It's into the corner from Demetria, who goes again.
04:47Claudia Fernandez gets there and the point goes to Fernandez and Gonzalez.
04:52What a point.
04:54What a performance that we are witnessing.
05:00Incredible.
05:03But an almost identical shot comes through from Bea Gonzalez.
05:19The passion, the power of La Perla.
05:23And they lead four games to two.
05:26Ten winners for Bea Gonzalez.
05:29Only three errors across the game so far.
05:32Two of them unforced.
05:33One of them forced.
05:34And that assist, importantly, that assist has set up a winner for Claudia Fernandez.
05:39So that's what that means when your play sets up an opportunity for your partner to execute the winner.
05:48That's what's defined as an assist in those statistics.
05:52that's what's sayin' point of Duke for the winner of 2022,
06:03that's two goals against an assist.
06:05Out on the volley from Gladio Fernandez, serves to the reverse of Gemma Triay, bajada
06:22from Bea, blocked by Triay, Bea Gonzalez tries to go out of the court but leaves it so exposed
06:32and it's well managed by Gemma Triay, love 30, we haven't seen an out-of-the-court play yet,
06:41Gladio Fernandez does well to get to that one but it leaves them
06:5230, 40, 30, 40
06:568 unforced errors for Claudia Fernandez, 10 unforced errors, Triay and Bea have a break point
07:0712 unforced errors in total for Gonzalez and Fernandez and if we look at their performance
07:26across the season and across their matches in these finals, when they keep their unforced errors
07:32below 12, they've won every match, we're at that tipping point now
07:38and in defeats, the error count rises noticeably
07:42Claudia Fernandez out of the two, the player who commits the most
07:45but there is the break with the cross-court forehand from Delphi Brea which she plays so, so well
07:59they didn't manage to take the breaks in the first set, they're not missing much in her style of play
08:06So calm and collected, has found the opportunity to come in with more winners as the game has progressed
08:23Bit of miscommunication but Gemma Triay manages to get there
08:27Change of position for Claudia Fernandez, it's blocked by Delphi Brea and look at that touch behind the back from Claudia Fernandez
08:33Triay watches the lob, dangerous though as Fernandez comes in, Delphi Brea gets the tiny touch and it goes out the door
08:44What a touch from Delfina Brea
08:4840-15
08:50I mean that was fantastic from Claudia Fernandez
08:55But look at the way, Brea anticipates, she comes out running, she touches it and it actually follows her out of the court
09:01World
09:08Skips off the net, well picked up by Triay but here is Bea Gonzalez coming in at the net
09:12But it's threaded through by Delfina Brea who finds the gap, they get the break
09:19They take the opportunity, something they couldn't do in the first set but here they are being decisive and clinical
09:29And they lead two games to love
09:31Can they do this now?
09:37Can they do this now?
09:52A drop shot from Brea as well, picked up by Claudia Fernandez who is in and she gets it, she gets the break
09:58It is two from two for the pair number three
10:04And after three games in this third set, it is 2-1 to Triay and Brea but the break back
10:11For Bea and Claudia
10:13For Bea and Claudia
10:43A wonderful winner up at the net from Bea Gonzalez on the backhand volley
10:58There is that little bit of passion and firepower from Bea Gonzalez that was missing visibly in that second set
11:05It would have been there just hiding slightly below the surface, she got a bit emotional
11:10Claudia Fernandez to serve and we saw there during the set break the stats from Claudia Fernandez in terms of where she is playing the majority of those balls
11:20It's been 72% cross-court to Delfi Brea
11:24Only 28% towards Gemma Triay
11:28That one is into the net
11:2915-0
11:30That's not too surprising however that the majority of the players going cross-court as a forehand player on that right-hand side towards Delfi Brea
11:44Out on the return
11:4630-15
11:4730-15
11:4830-15
11:4930-15
11:5030-15
11:5130-15
11:5230-15
11:5330-15
11:5430-15
11:55Out from Fernandez
11:58Another long rally
12:02Out from Fernandez, another long rally, the average rally length in the match so far
12:22has been 10.7 shots, 40-30.
12:26And there they win the game, they extend their lead with that
12:56stunning shot from Beatrizia Gonzalez up at the net, slices it with the backhand, it's
13:06almost parallel to the net, Gemma Triay tries to get their lunges for it but it's perfectly
13:12placed from Bea Gonzalez and they extend their lead four games to two and consolidate their
13:18second break of this final set, Gemma Triay to serve, Gemma Triay in her fourth season
13:27as the world number one, a player who spent many years in tennis before transitioning
13:34to paddle.
13:36And hear this, in her career since 2016 Gemma Triay has won at least two titles with every
13:42single partner that she has played alongside.
13:49That one's out of the glass though from her.
13:5515.
13:56The save from Gonzalez who, I remember that diving save she did right at the beginning.
14:08Also, the both sides of the glass that were in the middle of the game, that's the
14:09thing.

14:36Beautiful bajada, beautiful bajada from Bea González, to win the game, they lead 5-3,
14:49what a moment to pull out that bajada, Delphi Freya stretches over to the right, does get
14:55a touch, out of the door it goes, 5-3, 2-3.
15:06The crowd enjoying the back and forth between Brea and Fernández, a drop shot from the
15:36right.
15:37Well picked up by Bea González.
15:43Excellent block from Claudia Fernández, she comes in, firing with the winner, and here
