The Doha Major - Qatar 2025 final gifted us an unforgettable battle of women's padel! In a match filled with emotion and tension, the duo of Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea clinched the title after defeating the world number ones, Ari Sánchez and Paula Josemaría, in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4.
The center court in Doha was packed, with a spectacular atmosphere. Both pairs came out determined not to give an inch, producing high-level points with spectacular defense and powerful smashes. However, it was the Triay-Brea pairing that managed to impose a slightly superior rhythm in the key moments of the first set.
With an imperious Delfi Brea at the net, displaying amazing aggression and finishing ability, and a solid, strategic Gemma Triay from the back of the court, the Spanish-Argentine pair managed to break their rivals' serve at a crucial moment. Maintaining their calm and solidity, they closed out the first set with a hard-fought 6-4.
The second set began with the same level of equality, as Sánchez and Josemaría looked to react and step up their game. However, Triay and Brea showed great mental fortitude and an enviable connection on the court. They knew how to counter their opponents' attacks with a strong defense and capitalize on the break point opportunities that arose.
Once again, a timely break in favor of Triay and Brea proved decisive. Despite Ari and Paula's attempts to level the score, Gemma and Delfi's solidity and determination were unwavering. With intelligent and flawless play, they sealed the second set with another 6-4, unleashing joy on their bench and among their supporters.
This victory not only gives them a title of enormous prestige but also solidifies Triay and Brea as one of the most dangerous pairs on the circuit in 2025. The combination of experience and freshness is yielding great results, and this final makes it clear: they can compete with (and beat) the best. For their part, Ari and Paula, despite the defeat, remain the great references in current women's padel and will surely have their revenge in the upcoming tournaments.
