00:00Well, here come the number two seeds, put together right at the start of the year, and the Triay-Ortega partnership rather surprisingly split up.
00:15They've been steady and consistent, did have a little blip in Acapulco when they went to the round of 16, but since then.
00:22Here's the increasingly impressive partnership of Gemma Triay and Claudia Fernandez, the 31 year old and the future superstar in the 18 year old, Claudia Fernandez from Madrid.
00:52Oh, what happened there? A rescue from Triay.
01:02Lovely, lovely front.
01:22Really well constructed point there from the number two seeds.
01:41Mercedes goes for smash winner and doesn't get it.
01:46So they lose their challenge early to lose one.
02:01That's the place to put it. Nice rescue from Ortega.
02:21And she goes again, and Mercedes got to that.
02:25Oh, that's a brilliant, brilliant bit of work.
02:29A first one for Mercedes, then for Triay to get it back.
02:33And Ortega to put it away.
02:37To see a solid leader, that got fired up.
02:40She's got it, that is a legal pick up from Triay, that's brilliant.
02:45Mercedes on the brink of being broken here.
03:14Oh.
03:44Oh.
04:04Oh.
04:19Yeah, well done again.
04:43Oh, brilliant.
04:45All set up, it has to be said, by that wonderful return that Marco Ortega made looks so easy.
04:55Mercedes' placement is perfect, but what about that?
05:00That's a bit special.
05:29Oh, that must be how Ortega rescued that.
05:52Perfect touch there.
06:17It's going to go, it's going to go, and it was a real sneaky one as well.
06:21Mercedes was just hoping for a bit more on it.
06:30Super smash that.
06:37Two points.
07:07She can get that.
07:25Oh, my goodness.
07:32Oh, just brilliant defensive work from Triay Fernandes.
07:35I mean, that's heartbreaking.
07:37Absolutely heartbreaking for Veronica Mercedes, who must have thought she'd won that point three times over.
07:58Wow.
08:27Yeah, lovely.
08:54It's a ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
09:10Oh, and it's another one of those returns from Claudia Fernandes, and they've done it.
09:15They've done it.
09:17Back-to-back wins.
09:48Oh, that really was one of the great matches that we've seen this season.
09:55For around two hours and 20 minutes.
09:58You have to feel sorry for these two.
10:01They had their chances.
10:02They really did.
10:04Celebration, the fears, the fears of relief and joy.
10:08Coming from Claudia Fernandes, 18 years old and a back-to-back champion.
10:17Had that win in Santiago.
10:21Now they've come to France, to Europe.
10:25And they've done it again.
10:45Yeah.
