In the women’s draw, the final played at the Kuwait Major between the top seeds Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea and the third-seeded pair, Ariana Sánchez and Andrea Ustero, presented itself as one of the most significant events heading towards the end of the season. At stake was the possibility of narrowing the gap between the number ones and their imminent pursuers, keeping the fight for the Race leadership open.

However, Triay and Brea, who had not reached a final since the P1 in Madrid, took to the court determined to turn the situation around. Despite starting behind on the scoreboard against Sánchez and Ustero (3-6), the Spanish-Argentine pair did not miss the opportunity to win 2,000 points to maintain their current position in the ranking. From the second set onwards, they set the pace and, hardly giving any chances to the third seeds, put together two nearly perfect sets, both decided by a resounding 6-1.

«We started playing so-so, but in the second set we started to improve and I think the key was to believe in the team. We are in the final stretch, these points and these Majors are very important for us. We knew how important it was to win today, so we are happy,” said Gemma Triay at the end of the match.

Along the same lines, Delfi Brea took advantage of the post-match interview to thank ‘everyone present, the organization, the Rafa Nadal Academy (…) the team, those who are behind us, and those who support us.’ The Argentine also acknowledged the significance of the victory: ‘I think if we had been told this last week, we would not have believed it.’

The assessment of the 2026 season

Regarding the current season, in the 21 tournaments played to date, Triay and Brea have reached 15 finals, with a record of seven titles won. This is a slightly less effective result than that of the same period last year: with the same 21 tournaments completed, the Spanish-Argentine pair had already played 14 finals, nine of which ended in victories.

Even so, the results obtained have been sufficient for this season to secure the number one position in the Race ahead of Barcelona, with two tournaments still to be played – the Dubai P1 and the Mexico Major.

• Seven titles won: Gijón P2, Cancún P2, Italy Major, Málaga P1, Pretoria P1, Madrid P1, and now, the Kuwait Major.
• Eight-time finalists: Riyadh P1, Miami P2, Newgiza P2, Brussels P2, Asunción P2, Buenos Aires P1, Bordeaux P2, and London P1.
• Six-time semifinalists: Valencia P1, Valladolid P1, Paris Major, Rotterdam P2, Germany P2, Milan P1.

With this victory, the winners add 2,000 points to their ranking and receive a prize of 48,700 euros. Likewise, the conquest has a historic significance for Gemma Triay, who becomes the player with the most titles in Premier Padel, with a total of 59. The player from Menorca thus surpasses Alejandra Salazar and Ariana Sánchez, both with 58 titles.
