Ale Galán / Fede Chingotto  are the champions of  Madrid Premier Padel P1 The world number 2s had to battle during  2:43  to overcome  Coki Nieto / Mike Yanguas , finally defeated  6/4 5/7 6/4  at the end of a high-tension final.

Un  seventh title this season  for Chingalaneta, who take full advantage of Coello/Tapia's elimination in the quarterfinals and are now only  470 points from the number 1s in the Race 2026 .

Coki and Yanguas are present

For their first tournament since their reformation,  Nieto / Yanguas  had already made a very strong impact by eliminating  Arturo Coello / Agustín Tapia  in the quarter-finals. And for their first final together, the Spaniards showed no signs of inferiority.

Opportunities existed for both sides in the first set, but Galán/Chingotto found the opening in  3/3 One break was enough: the number 2 pair maintained their advantage until the end and took the first set.  6/4 .

But nothing is simple. Coki and Yanguas cling to every service game and repel their opponents' opportunities again and again.

Galán/Chingotto are in contention for the title… and are overturned

The second set was a real battle. From the very first game, Nieto/Yanguas had to fend off several break points. This pattern continued throughout the set.

À  4/4 Galán/Chingotto finally manage to make the difference. They break away and find themselves at  5/4, serve to follow for the title .

The final then seemed almost over.

But Coki and Mike refuse to give up. They realize their  first break of the match  at the perfect moment to level the score at 5-5. Completely revitalized, they continued to press forward and even managed to break their opponent's serve again to snatch the set.  7/5 .

Everything has to be done again.

A breathless third set

The final round continued in the same vein.  Nieto / Yanguas save eight break points  and continue to resist the constant pressure from pair number 2.

Even physical setbacks don't break the rhythm: Chingotto has to receive treatment at  right foot , while Galán is hampered by a cut on his finger.

À  4/4 After more than two and a half hours of fighting, the turning point finally arrives. Galán/Chingotto get the break they've been seeking for so long.

This time, they don't let their chance slip away. They finish with their serve:  6/4 5/7 6/4 in 2h43 .

Seventh title and only 470 points behind

This Madrid title could have a significant impact on the rest of the season.  Galán / Chingotto secure their seventh trophy in 2026  and take full advantage of Coello/Tapia's premature defeat.

They now only count  470 points behind in the Race This situation makes the next meeting even more important: the  Paris Major , which begins this week at Roland-Garros.

A victory in Paris could even allow them to overtake their main rivals in the Race.

For  Ale Galán The success also has a special flavor. The Madrid player reclaims the title at home, where he hadn't won since  2022 .

Coki Nieto and Mike Yanguas can also leave Madrid with many certainties. For their  first tournament since their return together They eliminated the number 1s and reached the final, pushing Galán / Chingotto to their limits.

But at the end of one of the big battles of the week in Madrid, it was indeed the  Chingalaneta  who leaves with the trophy and a race for the world throne more open than ever.

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 !
