00:01the tour and taxis is ready brussels is ready and belgium is indeed ready to crown a champion
00:09for the fifth time today the only player to feature in all five of the finals many our
00:16battles but also the last two finals were won by these two women paula jose maria
00:23and bea gonzalez who after a struggle at the start of the campaign have seemed to be watching this
00:29final with you i think it's going to be an amazing match and a very long one i think oh
00:36okay there
00:36you have it yeah i mean like i said the last two ones of war uh just about three hours
00:42and a big
00:42final ahead of us delfi brea will get us underway on her service playing in uh in the celeste almost
00:51of argentina
00:55big bajada to start the match
01:10good lob oh just as i say that it goes out the idea of the lob was good anyway
01:15sends a love right back to delfi quick trigger
01:24it's awkward for bear but getting herself out of trouble well first with the chiquita then with
01:29the love now the the block
01:33oh and a complete misfire and straights away that's what i uh mentioned earlier
01:59the way
02:00but the way she cannot let a bad match kind of get the better of herself to me is so
02:07impressive all the time that's the eye let's fly
02:16importance I think yesterday's match between Jose Maria Gonzalez against Araujo Fernandez
02:22was a great example of that
02:43so Maria in transition the combination finish right now she does for once
03:13Gemma good block from Jose Maria but the lob is a tad strong
03:20Gemma Triay making her a compromised position there
03:35again
03:35Paola
03:41defending from Jose Maria again
03:50Bea gives a presence so we're down to the store
03:53any questions or comments or predictions that you might have always love hearing from everyone
04:00as Bea goes for it first board 3 from Bea Gonzalez from behind the service line sends
04:07the very effective right yeah she's not someone who hits a million smashes per match
04:14but when she does go for it tends to end well
04:28and that is despite you know what coaches tend to tell players as
04:34Bea yields there at the net coaches tend
04:46Bea sent it back across Gemma Triay who was rooted to the spot
05:00oh what happened there it's Bea couldn't get up are you seeing something
05:07tactically as well that maybe has to change on their side
05:16I think now Delphi is doing what Seba was asking her the cross love
05:23wow
05:30Bea Gonzalez is not letting anyone put a ball behind her
05:37in front of Pared Lobb is Jose Maria going for this no she's not
05:41and now it's becoming difficult to defend
05:43and
05:48and
05:58and
06:00and
06:00and
06:20Wow, what a pick-up from Delphi, Jose Maria I think lost complete track of the ball,
06:25Rulo from Triay picked up by Jose Maria in transition comes González.
06:40...is always going to come when you're talking about the reigning number ones of Premier
06:46Paddle.
06:47Delphi Brea pops it out, Bortreza now a love 40 the other way.
06:57Jose Maria on the turnaround flips it over Triay, incredible how little time they need
07:05to play such a high quality love, Jose Maria likes the look of that, lets fly and with
07:11a flick of the wrist.
07:12I think that when you play the love to the middle any player can go and also for example
07:18when you play against two right-handed players you usually try to play a love through the
07:26backhand of the right player.
07:29So it goes far, for example in this case a good love is behind the back of Delphi through
07:37her backhand volley because that way she has her backhand there and Gemma has to move a lot
07:42to go to that ball.
07:43And when you play with a lefty, well I think they all know that there was a part of the
07:50set
07:51where they were not focused enough.
07:54So, I don't think they will take it personally, since now they are…
08:15And Gonzales who were all over them earlier in the set, but the reigning number ones are
08:22starting to show us why they are exactly that, the rulo from Gemma, Gonzales puts it up, Gemma
08:28will smash it down, Gonzales says, cut your hands off it, I am going to take charge.
08:33That's blocked by Brea.
08:37Gonzales, oh, awkward bounce, still took it.
08:42Brea looking right into the sun, saved, no, by Brea.
08:48I think that went off the…
08:58Contra pared lob, is Gemma going to go for it?
09:00She faked it, but didn't.
09:06Paola, deep, two d…
09:08Gonzales, yeah.
09:12Going parallel here, now switching sides.
09:15Now to the middle, no shot going in the same direction.
09:18And Jose Maria, which way did she go?
09:29Brea overcooks it, Delphi Brea…
09:33Now smashing it parallel, good recovery from Brea.
09:37Gemma lends a helping hand, plays it high as she retakes her station.
09:41Double glass, Chiquita.
09:43Another backhand volley of dreams, though, from Paola.
09:49Drop shot from Bea Gonzales, good footwork.
09:54Now the block from Gonzales.
09:57Still, though, finally, Gemma gets them to come away from the nets.
10:02High lob back from Jose Maria.
10:06Back they come.
10:08Gemma is going to keep this sensible, or is she, or is she, that is…
10:12Of a prediction or something you want to tell us.
10:16Do make sure to hit us up on social media, at Premier Paddle, and leave us a comment.
10:23Always appreciate your…
10:25Absolutely.
10:26I absolutely agree with that, because some days you feel good, some days you feel bad,
10:31but you always have to play your best level of that day.
10:35And sometimes your partner is not playing good, and you have to help him.
10:48Yeah, just lets fly with the smash, and that's not coming back over.
10:55Earlier…
10:55One, two…
10:59You have to lean right?
11:00One, two…
11:00Then you get out of the game.
11:03I mean it's hard, for sure.
11:04Yeah, give me up…
11:05some people jump here.
11:06But, you know what I'm trying…
11:06Oh…
11:07Very amazago…
11:08Great miss 1991…
11:08You have to buy a pen like you got a pen.
11:10Premon…
11:13Good impossibility.
11:15Oh…
11:15Wow…
11:16Now, it is a réponse.
11:25afterburners and flicks it up and over her head and Bea denied by the Nets.
11:31Absolutely incredible from Delphi. Wow.
11:36Absolutely incredible. What a shot. Thank you.
11:40And see, now Delphi and Gemma are controlling a little bit more the time.
11:46Jose Maria.
11:51Bea tries again. That one stays in and that one is the winner.
11:57After three un...
11:58Last season.
12:04Wow, what a deflection.
12:19Ah, Bea had exactly what she needed to do there.
12:24Great change of direction from Delphi.
12:30I think they are playing better.
12:32You tricked your brain like that.
12:38Yeah, it's true. But it's just a mental trick. You have to be thinking about it all the time.
12:44You have to fool yourself, I guess, as...
12:47When you play afraid, you usually miss because your arm gets shorter.
12:51You get higher, it's more.
12:53Right?
12:55Right, right.
12:56Right, right.
12:57Right, right.
12:59Right, right.
13:00Go!
13:01Go!
13:03Atrás, atrás, atrás, andousola...
13:06All right, left, half.
13:07Atrás.
13:09Atrás, abajo...
13:11And you're good.
13:13You're good.
13:13You're good.
13:13You're good.
13:14You're good.
13:19same red and feet oh wow oh wow but you know we gotta start to consider them now
13:38as real serious contenders for being number ones of the world here this year
13:43I think if Bea and Paola can keep this level up that shot the guy stepped into Diwali nicely
14:05let's fly and Gemma is there to return it although they are still in a very very compromised position
14:13and Jose Maria wisely just plays it to
14:17I mean to be fair every single ball has gone Bea Gonzalez's way so far
14:28so I think they agree with you
14:32but Bea provides the block
14:34I think they need to change to be a little bit more positive and to hold a little
14:38to hold on a little bit more
14:40Jose Maria with the fake smash and these are three of tournaments
14:51Jose Maria
14:55and Brea blocked by Gonzalez Brea up high
15:01Jose Maria
15:11and Bea no not there close but keeping it in Bea
15:19up high
15:21down it comes
15:23from Gemma Triay
15:24now it's a great lob from Gonzalez
15:27Jose Maria
15:28Jose Maria
15:29Jose Maria
15:31and Jose Maria
15:32and finishes it
15:33no
15:33Gemma Triay has other ideas
15:36now the chiquita from Gemma
15:38and it drops beautifully
15:39and that will do it
15:41it's a hat trick of titles
15:44for Bea Gonzalez
15:46and for Paola Jose Maria
15:49game, set, match and championship
15:53for the third tournament running
15:56for the number two
