Big day for the female paddle. Big day for World Padel Tour. Big day for Santander. Day of the final of Santander WOpen 2019. In the blue heart, a classic confrontation of 2018 still unpublished in 2019: Mapi and Majo Sánchez Alayeto against Gemma Triay and Lucía Sainz. A gold brooch for a day at the La Albericia Sports Center that would live the third consecutive full in the stands.

The final would live a brilliant entrance of Sainz and Triay on the track. Intractable in their serve and sowing endless doubts in the twins, they would pick up the fruit of their bravery in the form of a break in the fifth game. The accuracy in the shots of Lucía Sainz and the electric shocks of Gemma Triay would once again wreak havoc, with another break that they would confirm to put the final 6-2 in the first.

The Barcelona and Menorca would not miss the brilliant moment of confidence they were finding in Santander and started the second set with a new break. But the last word of former number one was yet to be pronounced. Mapi and Majo recovered sensations to sign a break that returned to match the contest in 3-3 and prepare a final frantic set that would lead to a tie - break. The epic would side with the zaragozanas, who saving up to two match balls would take the final to a third set of heart attack.

After the rush of sudden death, I start again on the final set with two couples willing not to make a single mistake on the way to the final crown. Gemma and Lucia would achieve the break in the sixth, with immediate response from the Twins and a 4-4 on the scoreboard that ventured another end of set not suitable for delicate hearts. But with the serve of the Sánchez Alayeto Twins, Lucía Sainz and Gemma Triay managed to face two match balls to the rest. This time they would not fail, and on the first occasion, Gemma Triay and Lucía Sainz would end more than a year of drought proclaiming themselves champions of Santander WOpen.
