A Strategic Alliance Born to Win

When Gemma Triay, the seasoned Spanish champion, and Delfina Brea, Argentina’s rising star, announced their partnership in January 2025, the padel world took notice. Their goal? To dethrone the dominant duo of Paula Josemaría and Ariana Sánchez and claim the No. 1 ranking. Combining Triay’s tactical brilliance and net dominance with Brea’s relentless defense and explosive baseline play, they quickly proved they were a force to be reckoned with.

Their first major triumph came at the Premier Padel Gijón Open, where they staged a stunning comeback against Josemaría and Sánchez, overcoming a 0-6 first-set loss to win 6-1, 6-4. This victory wasn’t just a statement—it was a declaration of war on the established hierarchy of women’s padel.

Two Champions, One Unstoppable Force

Training Like Champions

Behind their success is a meticulous preparation regime, guided by top coaches Jorge Martínez (Brea’s longtime mentor) and Rodri Ovide (Triay’s strategic advisor). Their training includes:
✔ Intensive on-court drills (coordination, shot placement, match simulations)
✔ Elite physical conditioning (speed, endurance, injury prevention)
✔ Mental toughness training (visualization, pressure scenarios)
✔ Opponent analysis (breaking down rivals’ weaknesses)

Their ability to adapt mid-match—like in their Gijón comeback—shows how well their styles mesh. Triay’s commanding presence at the net and Brea’s unshakable defense create a perfect balance.

Rivalries That Define Their Journey

Their biggest challenge? Josemaría & Sánchez, the reigning queens of padel. But other rising threats include:

• Marta Ortega & Bea González (Brea’s former partner)
