Biography

Forty-four titles, two years at No. 1, and a new chapter

Born in Reus in 1997, Sánchez plays the left side with a relentless attacking game. With Josemaría she took the No. 1 ranking from Salazar and Triay in 2023 and held it through 2024; she has also won three World Championships with Spain, in 2021, 2022 and 2024.

With Ustero she has won the Riyadh P1, the Valencia P1 and the Paris Major in 2026. This season she also changed racket, moving to adidas and the Arrow Hit Pro after seven years with her previous brand.
