Day5. From Düsseldorf to the Netherlands: the world’s top four pairs are through to the final

One week later, from Düsseldorf to Rotterdam, from Germany to the Netherlands. The world’s top four pairs will compete for the title on Sunday from 4 p.m.. First, the women’s Top 2, Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay, will face Paula Josemaria and Ari Sanchez, followed by the men’s Top 2, Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia, versus Fede Chingotto and Ale Galan, on court not before 5.30pm. An unmissable Sunday.

WOMEN The first of the four semi-finals was the most uncertain: the number 1 seeds, already winners of eight titles this season, lost the first set in a tiebreak to Claudia Jensen and Ale Alonso. However, Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay came back to win 6-7 6-2 6-4 in two hours and 35 minutes: a marathon, but not comparable to last week’s three-hour-and-20-minute final in Dusseldorf. Tomorrow there will be a rematch, because in the second semi-final Paula Josemaria and Ari Sanchez – four titles this year, the last in Valladolid – dominated the second semi-final, beating Ale Salazar and Martina Calvo 6-3 6-2. There have been seven previous matches this season between Brea/Triay and Josemaria/Sanchez, with six wins for Gemma and Delfi.

MEN In the men’s final, however, the “Chingalan” will be looking for their second win in a row after last Sunday’s victory in Düsseldorf: thanks to a 6-3 7-5 win in one hour and 40 minutes over Juan Lebron and Franco Stupaczuk, the number 2 seeds reached the number 1 in the final, after Coello and Tapia were forced to come back from a set down against Coki Nieto and Mike Yanguas (4) in the afternoon, leaving only one game between the second and third sets and closing with a score of 4-6 6-1 6-0. Will Rotterdam see Coello and Tapia win their tenth title of the season or Chingotto and Galan their sixth? Head-to-head see “Arturito” and “Agus” leading 16-7, 6-2 in 2025.
