Swept away in the Genova final Premier Padel P2 by Ale Galan and Fede Chingotto, Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia reacted in style this Sunday at Malaga.

The pressure was on their shoulders. Beaten in their last two clashes against “Chingalan”, Coello and Tapia, led 5-3 in the direct confrontations with the numbers before the meeting, badly needed a victory today. And from the start of the match, they dispelled all doubts, by taking the service of their biggest rivals to take the lead in this final...

More in demand than usual against Jorge Martinez's players, Tapia seized the opportunity to string together winning shots. The first set flew by and saw the favorites take the lead thanks to an authoritarian 6/2.

Behind, Chingotto and Galan tried by all means to come back, but the number 1s didn't let anything pass. As proof, despite five break points, the “Chingalan” pair never managed to take the service of their opponents. The second set did not last much longer than the first, and it only took an hour and eight minutes for the pair at the top of the rankings to win their sixth title of the season.

Final score 6/2 6/3 for Gustavo Pratto's men who set the record straight. 60 points won at 45, 35 winning shots and 13 unforced errors against 21 winning shots and 17 unforced errors... The numbers 1, who are only trailing 5 to 4 in their confrontations with Ale and Fede, have somehow erased the defeat from Genoa this Sunday to Malaga.

Absent from Finland P2, the two best padel pairs in the world will now take a well-deserved break after an intense start to the season, and we will see them again in the fall at P1 in Madrid. For a return of hand to hand ?
