Agustín Tapia  et  Arturo Coello  The bosses remain. In the final of the  Bordeaux Premier Padel P2 The world number ones have once again shown why they dominate the circuit, by overturning  Ale Galán / Fede Chingotto  at the end of a very close match:  5/7 7/6 6/2 .

A final where they were pushed around for a long time, sometimes even dominated, but where they still found a way to pull through. Not always brilliantly, but with this ability to weather the storm, to stay in the game, and then to strike at the right moment.

Chingotto starts very strong

The start of the match is clearly to the advantage of  Galan / Chingotto The Argentinian is on fire, in excellent physical condition, and much sharper than in his recent outings. His diagonal runs are devastating.  Arturo Coello , which seems less comfortable, less intense, sometimes rushed in its choices.

Chingotto finds very good areas in  viper , advances well on the fly and manages to block Coello several times. Alongside him,  Ale Galán  is solid, clean, and pair 2 imposes its rhythm more.

À  5/5 Galán/Chingotto made the difference with an important break, before closing out the first set  7/5 .

The number ones are keeping their heads down

In the second set, the momentum remained with  Galan / Chingotto They break early, while Tapia and Coello still seem to be finding their rhythm in a rather disjointed final, with few long, truly established sequences.

But it's precisely in these types of matches that the world number ones are so strong. Even when they're struggling, they never give up. They accept being under pressure, stay in touch, and as soon as an opportunity arises, they seize it.

The break comes quickly. Yet, Galán/Chingotto still seem to have the upper hand in the game. But  Tapia / Coello  They hang on, postpone the inevitable and take the set to a tie-break.

And that's when the game turned.  Agustín Tapia  comes out with a very big tiebreak, while  Gallant  They crack for the first time with two costly unforced errors. The world number ones level the match at one set apiece.

Coello breaks free, Galán becomes frustrated

Once they were back in the game,  Tapia / Coello  no longer let their chance slip away. In the third set, we find a  Arturo Coello  Much more patient, less hasty, and more accurate in his choices.

On the other side, Galán gradually loses confidence. Frustration mounts, errors begin to pile up, and Chingotto can no longer compensate as he did in the first two sets. The world number ones quickly take control and cruise to victory.  6/2 .

Once again, Tapia and Coello won a match where everything wasn't perfect. But that's also what makes them strong: they know how to win in tough situations, even when the opponent plays better for part of the match.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
