00:0015 love good power there as well amazing how quickly you can turn this round momentum is
00:16so important in this sport 28 pairs in the women's draw now that we've got the qualifiers
00:25done top four seeds all get buys into the next round so that's Jose Maria and Sanchez
00:30Brea and 3i Gonzalez and Fernandez and Ortega and Araujo and there is that tantalizing possibility
00:38of a semi-final between the two pairs that swapped in the winter break having taken the
00:44opening set they've got all of the momentum they're serving first they look strong on
00:49serve surely this is their chance that was well played by 30 15 and then she gets very
01:11lucky same mistake but she got away with it this time two points then suddenly for a 4-3
01:27lead and a chance to put pressure on the Versailles to serve
01:5741 minutes now this young Spanish pair the chance of one of their biggest wins and this
02:08should be it and it is great win for Goinaga and Caldera they grab it the first time of asking
02:19that's superbly done to win four tiebreak points in a row and they put out the number six seeds
02:26well played to Carmen Goinaga and Bea Caldera that's just terrific stuff coped with the
02:36pressure when it mattered most when it seemed like it had got away from them and suddenly the
02:40point they failed to win to make it 4-1 doesn't matter they let that slip but they let nothing
02:46else slip and maybe Caldera and Goinaga names to watch going forward this season certainly that's
02:54a really good win Salazar and Verceda quite frankly made too many errors worrying me for
03:03them they were outplayed for large parts and I thought out managed a bit as well really smartly
03:11done look how much it meant and means to Caldera and Goinaga we've got Santi Gossa and Lamperti to
03:17come Valenzuela and Hernandez their opponents I think that should be another really good game
03:22before our Saudi Arabian wild cards take center stage in the three matches to follow an action all
03:29around this complex in Riyadh as Premier Paddle gets underway for 2025 at the Riyadh Paddle Rush
03:37Arena but it starts with a surprise and Carmen Goinaga these two had a fantastic end of the 2024
03:44season Rama Valenzuela and Paul Hernandez and their opponents Santi Gossa and Miguelito Lamperti
03:5446 years of age an absolute legend of the sport
04:11long lob from Santi Gossa
04:13they know that Valenzuela has a great smash so the lob has to be very precise
04:1815 lob
04:2415 lob
04:3615 lob
04:5415 lob
05:03and it was too wide
05:06in a previous serving game Lamperti and Santi Gossa saving a couple set points
05:11oh nice
05:2515 all
05:27I'm telling you it's always really hard to close a match
05:41have the four players at the net you have Paul Hernandez
05:442024
05:50it's gonna be with a second serve
05:55look at the wing pushing the net
06:01Hernandez
06:03playing the angle to the fence
06:07and Valenzuela finishing the job
06:14Valenzuela and Paul Hernandez are through the next round and will have a chance in the run of 32 against Tejo Enlibac
06:227-6 the first set and losing the second one 6-3
06:26and winning the third and final chapter six games to three this year Rama Valenzuela and Paul Hernandez
06:34the first win of the season
06:37the end of the story for Miguel Lamperti and for Dani Santi Gossa
06:43Rama Valenzuela and Paul Hernandez showing why they were one of the best teams
06:50one of the teams in better shape at the end of the 2024 campaign
06:5620 years of age for Paul 20 years of age for Rama
07:05better look at the match point
07:09nice angle from Paul Hernandez and then the final mistake from Santi Gossa
07:14but also a good move again from Rama Valenzuela
07:19in a few seconds we'll have a look at the numbers at the stats
07:23and Lamperti coming next
07:25as you can see it was the number one seeds in qualifying
07:28another talented young Spanish duo of Sophie Scythe and Marina Lobo
07:33they come out first
07:38so the local players coming straight into this main draw
07:43on the volley
08:03yeah Lobo making short work of that it was good hands though
08:25just in
08:27that's the chair umpire called that out
08:30player was prepared to play it
08:35had the sort of revolution in the men's pairings haven't we but not so much in the women's
08:41just the two the big moves Breyer and Triai
08:45what was the enormous news
08:59oh
09:04that is going to be wide and there it is
09:08they gave it their best but they were double bageled
09:13by Lobo and Scythe who instantly will face
09:16a much tougher task against Ortega and Araujo
09:22Harish Khalil and Alanu Jamani
09:25in the end just couldn't land the glove they had a couple of game points
09:30it's awkward for them
09:33but they were never going to be in any danger the only problem could have been
09:36losing a game but
09:41even then they were
09:42too good when they were put under any kind of pressure and it was tiny pressure
09:45there's the winning moment
09:47for Lobo and Scythe
09:51they'll have enjoyed the experience but in a way they'll be relieved it's over as well
09:56Harish and Alanu Jamani
10:00still the sport growing all the time
10:02exact matchup
10:04last year in the RIA P1
10:06as we welcome now Teo Zapata and Enrique Goenaga
10:11Enrique Goenaga
10:13he's on our right side there he's able to hit it with power
10:16as we welcome
10:19Enrique Goenaga serving for the first time and
10:22one thing he does is serving
10:24with a backhand from the right side of the court which is very unusual
10:30we see a lot of players like Paquito Navarro
10:32for example doing it from the backhand as he's going to do it now
10:35but from the right side of the court
10:37I think it's the only player that does it
10:40one winner one mistake from Enrique Goenaga
10:43like Al-Abdullah and Al-Rabdi
10:46never easy
10:51oh and a puppet highlight for good result
10:56that pressure could be an enemy
10:58have to go there
11:00blocks you know that
11:02basically anything to lose
11:05no responsibility whatsoever
11:08experience to go and enjoy

12:04as we receive first are the Spanish players
12:11the locals
12:12and it's all about smiles
12:14to win a spot maybe
