Triay and Brea at the London P1: the world No. 1s beat Marta Ortega and Sofia Araújo 7-5, 4-6, 6-1 after more than two and a half hours in the quarter-finals of the [London event](https://www.padelfip.com/events/london-p1-2026/). The match featured 30 games and 11 breaks of serve before the Spanish-Argentine pair controlled the deciding set.

## Triay and Brea take the opening set 7-5

The first gap appears at 1-1, when Triay and Brea break serve. They keep that advantage until 5-4, when Ortega and Araújo level at 5-5. The response is immediate: another break for the world No. 1s, followed by a love hold to close the set 7-5.

Ortega and Araújo start the second set by breaking to lead 3-1. Triay and Brea break straight back, but the Spanish-Portuguese pair immediately regain the advantage. At 5-3, the top pair pull another break back for 5-4. Ortega and Araújo break in the tenth game and level the match with a 6-4 set.

## Six straight games close the match

Ortega and Araújo win the first game of the third set. The pace then changes. Triay and Brea hold to love, break at 1-1 and keep moving forward without allowing their opponents back into the set. Two more breaks follow, and the 6-1 score ends a match that lasted more than two and a half hours.

The scenario recalls the Pretoria final won five days earlier in 2 hours 53 minutes against Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo. After that title, Triay explained what had carried the pair through the pressure moments:

> *“We stayed focused on the present, even during the toughest moments of the match.”*

In London, Triay and Brea again had to respond in a deciding set. This time they produced three breaks in the final set. The story of their Pretoria win is available in [our report on the South African P1](https://actu-padel.com/pretoria-p1-galan-chingotto-sixieme-titre/).

## Sánchez and Ustero await in the semi-finals

Triay and Brea are due to face Ariana Sánchez and Andrea Ustero in the semi-finals on Saturday 8 August. The [London P1](https://actu-padel.com/london-p1-2026-capitale-mondiale-padel/) therefore continues with the world No. 1s still in contention after two consecutive three-set matches.

The timing also falls almost exactly one year after their move to the top of the ranking. On 3 August 2025, Triay and Brea won the Tarragona P1 and secured the No. 1 seeding for Madrid. One year later, they remain the world No. 1 pair. Premier Padel published this official reel after they moved to No. 1.
