Le Valencia P1 2026 not only offered an exceptional spectacle on the track, but the Spanish tournament also reshuffled some of the cards in the ranking of the most decorated players still active on the professional circuits ( Premier Padel, World Padel Tour et Padel Per tour ).
Thanks to their stunning victory against Galán and Chingotto in the final, Agustín Tapia et Arturo Coello continue to write the history of modern padel.
Galán still leads, Tapia one length behind
With this new trophy won in Valencia, Agustín Tapia brings his total to 57 career titles .
The Argentinian thus returns to within one unit of Alejandro Galán , still a leader among active players with 58 tracks .
A long-distance duel that promises to liven up the second half of the season. Between the fight for the world number 1 ranking and that of the most decorated player of his generation, the two men have been trading blows for several months.
Coello crosses the symbolic threshold of 50 titles
The other big winner in this ranking is Arturo Coello .
At just 24 years old, the Spaniard reached the symbolic milestone of 50 professional titles An exceptional performance for a player who continues to rack up records for precocity.
Behind the leading trio, we always find Sanyo Gutiérrez with 42 titles and Juan Lebrón with 41 trophies.
The Top 10 active players
| Rank | Player | Securities |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alejandro Galán | 58 |
| 2 | Agustín Tapia | 57 |
| 3 | Arturo Coello | 50 |
| 4 | Sanyo Gutiérrez | 42 |
| 5 | Juan Lebrón | 41 |
| 6 | Paquito Navarro | 26 |
| 7 | Maxi Sánchez | 22 |
| 8 | Federico Chingotto | 20 |
| 9 | Franco Stupaczuk | 19 |
| 10 | Martín Di Nenno | 15 |
Ari Sánchez joins Gemma Triay
In the women's competition, the struggle is just as exciting.
Thanks to his title won in Valencia alongside Andrea Ustero , Ari Sánchez now reached 55 tracks in his career and joined Gemma Triay in second place in the women's ranking.
The two players are now only three points behind the historical leader still active. Alejandra Salazar , which totals 58 titles.
Behind this trio, Paula Josemaría remains well placed with 51 trophies.
The female Top 10
| Rank | Female | Securities |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alejandra Salazar | 58 |
| 2 | Gemma Triay | 55 |
| 2 | Ari Sánchez | 55 |
| 4 | Paula Josemaría | 51 |
| 5 | Bea González | 27 |
| 5 | Delfi Brea | 27 |
| 7 | Marta Ortega | 16 |
| 8 | Patty Llaguno | 12 |
| 8 | Lucia Sainz | 12 |
| 8 | Claudia Fernández | 12 |
Belasteguín remains untouchable
If we broaden the ranking to encompass the entire history of professional padel, including both active and retired players, Fernando Belasteguín remains far ahead with 162 tracks .
The Argentinian is ahead Juan Martín Díaz (116 titles) and Pablo Lima (66 titles).
Even though Galán, Tapia and Coello continue to climb at high speed, the mark left by Bela still seems out of reach.
One thing is certain: with only one title separating Galán and Tapia, and Coello now sitting on 50 trophies, the hierarchy could still change rapidly before the end of the 2026 season.
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 !
