With the score at 6-1 1-0 to Salazar and Triay, Jensen signalled she could not continue the match as she was suffering from medical issues.

The 17-year-old, who became the youngest-ever female finalist in World Padel Tour at the Universidad Católica, had gone to the hospital the night prior after suffering from dehydration, and was still affected during play on Sunday.

It brought an abrupt end to her and Jessica Castelló's first-ever final, and granted another title to Salazar and Triay.

The Spaniards have re-taken first place in the rankings from Ariana Sanchez and Paula Josemaria with their second title of the season.
