Emotional tournament victory for Josemaria and Sanchez: ”Our best tournament”
It was an emotional atmosphere after Paula Josemaria, and Ariana Sanchez won the first Masters tournament of the season, the Marbella Masters.
— This is the best tournament we have played together, said Ari Sanchez after their victory.
Paula Josemaria and Ariana Sanchez won the final 6-2, 6-3 against Virginia Riera and Patty Llaguno.
After the match, an emotional Ariana Sanchez addressed the crowd at the Puente Romano in Marbella.
— This win was important for us. We haven't played well in recent tournaments and have been working hard. We have been playing at a high level, and this is the best tournament we have played together, said Ariana Sanchez in the World Padel Tour broadcast.
Paula Josemaria was the player of the match, stepping up under the important balls. Especially in the difficult last game when the pair had to serve for the match.
— My psychologist has helped me a lot with that. I know that I get many opportunities during a match, and I think I have improved that part of my game.
The tournament win is the second of the season. The first came in the first tournament of the season, the Madrid Open.
The next World Padel Tour Tournament is also a Master, also played outdoors like in Marbella. It will be played at the Plaza Mayor in Valladolid.
