Madrid P1 – Paris Major: 15 days and 3,000 points that can change the season

Du Madrid's Movistar Arena at Roland Garros , Premier Padel will play two of the most important matches of the second half of their season. Madrid P1 , disputed from 29 6 September 2026 August will be immediately followed by Paris Major , scheduled from 7 13 in September .

A P1, then a Major without a week off: 3,000 points per player are potentially up for grabs in the event of a double. A sequence capable of weighing heavily on the fight between Arturo Coello / Agustín Tapia and Alejandro Galán / Federico Chingotto but also on the new hierarchy of pairs and the race Premier Padel Finals .

Madrid P1 + Paris Major: up to 3,000 points to be won

Le Madrid P1 distributed 1 points to the winners , against 2,000 at the Paris Major The gap is repeated at each turn:

Result	Madrid P1	Paris Major	Total
Victoire	1 000	2 000	3 000
Final	600	1 200	1 800
Semi final	360	720	1 080
Quart de finale	180	360	540

The weight of Roland Garros is considerable: A title at the Paris Major is worth as much as two victories in P1 .

The stakes therefore go far beyond the battle for the trophy. Two quarter-final appearances already represent... 540 points , two semi-finals 1 080 At this stage of the season, these are gaps capable of significantly altering the Race.

Coello–Tapia / Galán–Chingotto: 1,290 points difference, but anything can happen.

Au 17 August , Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia each have 10,440 points in the Race , against 9,150 for Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto .

The difference is 1,290 points per player .

The number ones arrive with the advantage of momentum. After their victory in London, Coello and Tapia have eight titles by 2026 , compared to six for their main rivals.

But the next two weeks offer " Chingalan "A real opportunity to reignite the battle."

Si Coello–Tapia win in Madrid and Paris and if Galán–Chingotto reach two finals, the gap would go from 1,290 to 2 490 points .

The opposite scenario mainly shows how open the situation remains: with a Galán and Chingotto scored a double Madrid-Paris goal and two Coello-Tapia finals, the number 1s would only retain 90 points ahead .

To really take the lead after Roland-Garros, Galán and Chingotto will therefore have to do slightly better: win and take advantage of at least one exit from their rivals before the final.

Madrid can bring the two pairs closer together. Paris can tip the balance in the Race.

Yanguas–Nieto / Stupaczuk–Sanz: two new pairs immediately under pressure

Behind the two dominant teams, this restart will also be marked by the debuts of Mike Yanguas / Coki Nieto et Franco Stupaczuk / Jon Sanz .

And their first test will be anything but gradual: a P1 followed immediately by a Major .

To Madrid, Yanguas and Nieto have a combined total of 11,697 points in the overall standings. , against 11,676 for Stupaczuk and Sanz . Only 21 points separate the two new associations .

Paquito Navarro and Martin Di Nenno , with 11,257 points, also remain close.

The stakes are high because a few hundred points can quickly change the seeding order. Now, moving from the 4th to 5th seed This is not insignificant: the fourth pair can theoretically avoid the first three until the semi-finals.

Madrid and Paris will therefore provide an immediate first indicator of the new hierarchy behind Coello–Tapia and Galán–Chingotto .

The distance duel between Yanguas and Stupaczuk will be all the more interesting given that the former partners parted ways with exactly the same total in the Race: 3 points each .

Premier Padel Finals: Only 28 points separated Tello and Nieto

The closest battle, however, is much further down the rankings.

The 16 best players in the Race will secure their ticket to the Premier Padel Barcelona Finals And before Madrid, the border is extremely fragile:

Jon Sanz, 15th: 1959 points
Juan Tello, 16th: 1,942 points
Coki Nieto, 17th: 1,914 points
Edu Alonso, 18th: 1,757 points
Javi Garrido and Lucas Bergamini, 19th: 1,705 points

Between Tello, the last virtual qualifier, and Nieto , there is only 28 points Jon Sanz himself only owns 45 points ahead of Nieto .

To compare, Reaching the quarter-finals of the Paris Major awards 360 points .

The reshuffling of pairs adds a special dimension to this race. Stupaczuk and Yanguas , tied for 7th in the Race, already have a significant lead. Their new partners, Sanz and Nieto However, they are directly playing for their qualification for Barcelona.

For them, choosing a new partner is therefore not just about seeking results: Each round won in Madrid and especially in Paris can directly impact their presence at the Finals.

Madrid and Paris, the first major turning point of the end of the season

The season will obviously not be decided entirely between the Movistar Arena and Roland-Garros Other important events will still need to be played after the Paris Major.

But the sequence Madrid P1 – Paris Major concentrates several issues rarely brought together in such a short period: the fight for first place in the Race, the beginnings of new associations and a battle for the top 16 where some players are separated by only a few dozen points.

Madrid will provide an initial indication. With twice as many points awarded, Roland-Garros could then significantly reshape the Race Premier Padel 2026.
