The duel between  Ale Galán  et  Agustín Tapia  It's no longer just about what happens on the track or in the fight for the world number 1 ranking. For several months now, another battle has also been captivating the circuit: the battle for the number of titles won in a career.

And after the  Buenos Aires P1 The dynamics have clearly changed.

 58 titles for Galán, 55 for Tapia 

Thanks to the title won in Buenos Aires with  Fede Chingotto Ale Galán has now reached:

  •  58 career titles 

Meanwhile, Agustín Tapia remains stuck at:

  •  55 tracks 

A gap that seemed almost unimaginable just a few months ago.

 Tapia had nevertheless moved ahead 

At the start of the season, everything seemed to be going well for Tapia.

After  Cancun P2 The Argentinian had even taken the lead in this race with:

  •  55 tracks 
    against :
  •  54 for Galán 

At that moment, the momentum seemed entirely in favor of the world number 1.

But since that Mexican tournament, everything has changed.

 Galán completely reversed the trend 

Since the Cancún P2, Ale Galán has continued his winning streak:

  •  Miami P1 
  •  NewGiza P2 
  •  Asuncion P2 
  • and now the  Buenos Aires P1 

Result:

  •  4 new titles 
  • and a complete regaining of leadership in this race for trophies.

 Total domination on the track 

Beyond the numbers, it is above all the visual impression left by Galán and Chingotto that is currently marking the circuit.

Today, the Spanish-Argentine pair clearly seems superior to:

  •  Tapia / Coello 

Mentally, physically, tactically and psychologically, Galán and Chingotto appear to have gained the upper hand.

The Buenos Aires P1 final was yet another perfect illustration of this, with a demonstration:

  •  6 / 2 6 / 1 

And above all, Fede Chingotto completely dominated the diagonal against Arturo Coello, allowing Galán to play in ideal conditions.

 The best pair in the world right now? 

For several weeks now, it's been hard to deny this feeling:

  • Galán and Chingotto are probably the strongest pair in the world today.

They remain on:

  •  3 consecutive wins  facing Tapia / Coello
  •  5 titles this season 
  • and enormous dominance in recent head-to-head confrontations.

The fight for the world number 1 spot now appears to be completely back on.

 In the women's competition too, the battle for titles is intensifying. 

The women's circuit is also undergoing several important changes following the title of  Paula Josemaría  et  Bea González  in Buenos Aires P1.

With this new trophy:

  •  Paula Josemaría reached 51 career titles 

She is now only at:

  •  3 tracks  of:  Gemma Triay  et  Ari Sánchez , each of which count  54 tracks 

 Bea González overtakes Delfi Brea 

Another important development:

  •  Bea González  now passes in front  Delfi Brea  in number of titles won.

The Spanish player now has:

  •  27 tracks  against :  26 for Delfi Brea 

Further proof of the current dominance of the Josemaría/González pair on the women's circuit.

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 !
