World number 1s Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia won the  Bordeaux Premier Padel P2 , against Federico Chingotto and Alejandro Galán, at the end of a match as spectacular as it was indecisive, marked by a first set of incredible intensity.  Final score: 7/6 (14-12) 6/4 .

input,  Coello and Tapia impose their rhythm , with Arturo much more comfortable indoors than at the Rome Major, especially with smashes. A quick break allows them to take the lead. But Chingotto and Galán, also in good form, get back on track thanks to Galán dominating the volley, taking advantage of a lull from Coello, who is visibly worn out.

The two teams then neutralize each other in service, until a  breathless tie-break , a true summary of the first set battle. Tapia and Coello had three set points, saved by their rivals, then it was the turn of Chingotto and Galán to have three chances to conclude, without ever managing to win one. At 12/12, Galán cracked on two key points, letting their opponents lose the set 14-12.

 A first act that costs dearly , but Galán and Chingotto still found the resources to break early in the second set. But Tapia and Coello, carried by a very inspired Augustín, raised their level. They broke at 3/4, then  chain winning points , like Coello, who cuts on the volley and smashes. At 5/4, they conclude the match with a new decisive game.

 A well-controlled revenge for the number 1s 

With this victory, Tapia and Coello  take their revenge  of the Rome Major final lost to this same pair. As is often the case in major events, it was they who won  the most important points . When one of the two is in difficulty, the other takes over, and when both are in good shape, they simply become  unstoppable .

Le  rest day won in the semi-final  following the withdrawal of Paquito Navarro undoubtedly weighed in the balance. Opposite, Galán and Chingotto were coming out of a huge fight against Tello and Di Nenno.  Towards the end, Galán appeared more tired and less lucid , which may have tipped the scales in this ultra-close match.

 Coello and Tapia consolidate their position at the top of the  Race 2025  

It was the  19th confrontation  between these two duos: Tapia and Coello now lead  13 to 6 .

  •  6th title of the season  for number 1
  •  24th trophy in Premier Padel for Tapia ,  25th for Coello 
  • A final which consolidates their place at the top of the  Race 2025 .

The 2025 season remains more open than ever between the two best pairs in the world, but in Bordeaux, it's good  Tapia and Coello  who were able to make the difference, once again.

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 !
