Tamara Icardo and Claudia Jensen have blown the women's top-four race wide open. The pair won the Bordeaux P2 on July 5, their first title together, and the result has reshaped the standings heading into next week's Malaga P1.

## The run that did it

Icardo and Jensen went in as the No. 5 seeds. They knocked out the Valladolid champions Paula Josemaria and Bea Gonzalez 6-4, 6-3 in the semifinals, then stunned world No. 1s Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 in the final. It was the first time Icardo and Jensen had ever beaten Brea and Triay, who had won all four of their previous meetings.

## What it means for the rankings

The title is worth 600 points. Padel Magazine's post-Bordeaux ranking, published July 7, has the pair closing to within about 500 points of the fourth-ranked team in the Race. Brea and Triay keep the No. 1 spot, but the gap behind them is shrinking fast. On the men's side, Agustin Tapia and Arturo Coello stretched their own lead past 7,000 points with a fourth straight title, beating Galan and Chingotto 5-7, 7-6(4), 6-2.

## Next up

Malaga P1 runs July 13-19. Icardo and Jensen arrive as the form pair, and a strong week there would put a top-four seeding within reach.
