The final of  Riyadh P1  across  Coello / Tapia  et  Chingotto / Galan  It wasn't just about the score. Individual statistics highlight a key element: the unusual difficulty of  Fede Chingotto , however renowned for his consistency and clarity in major events even though the tournament was played outdoors.

As is often the case, the statistics of Padel Intelligence is always very interesting to analyze.

 An unusually high volume of errors 

In this match, Chingotto finishes with:

  • 8 winning points
  • 13 unforced errors
  • 2 fouls caused
  • 2 winning smashes out of 5

The figure that immediately stands out remains...  13 unforced errors , which is the highest total of the four players. For a player whose game relies on consistency, construction and mastery of long rallies, this factor completely changes the complexion of a final.

His winners-to-unforced errors ratio is negative, which is rare for him at this level. Usually capable of imposing a steady pace and forcing his opponents into errors, Chingotto this time succumbed to the pressure.

Riyadh P1: A frustrating final for Chingotto who says he was "completely confused" by the efficiency of Coello/Tapia

 A limited impact at key moments 

Another revealing indicator: its  KPoints at -1,11 This indicates a reduced influence in crucial moments. While Coello boasts a +4,7 and directly impacts the outcome of important games, Chingotto has failed to reverse unfavorable streaks.

Coello's constant pressure in the air and Tapia's ability to accelerate at the right moment forced the Argentinian to play faster than planned. The result: less control, more haste.

 A marked contrast with Coello 

The comparison is illuminating.  Arturo Coello  The final round concludes with:

  • 16 winning points
  • 6 unforced errors
  • 4 winning smashes out of 7
  • KPoints +4,7

While Coello boasts a very positive offensive differential, Chingotto struggles to manage crucial exchanges. This asymmetry largely explains the game's outcome.

 Galán is solid but isolated at times 

 Alejandro Galán  They tried to maintain the balance with 12 winning points to 12 unforced errors and good smash efficiency (7/8). But without the usual consistency of their right-side partner, the pair couldn't establish their usual defensive and transitional game plan.

Chingotto and Galán build their strength on complementarity: stability on the right, offensive projection on the left. When the first piece falters, the whole loses fluidity.

 A revealing finale, but not a definitive one. 

It would be excessive to see this as a structural break. The season is long, and the world's second-ranked pair has already demonstrated its adaptability. But this final of the  Premier Padel 2026  highlights a key point: when facing number ones capable of maintaining a constant intensity, the slightest drop in precision is immediately punished.

For Chingotto, this match will be remembered as a difficult one, marked by an unusually high number of errors and a struggle to impose his mental rhythm. Revenge could come quickly in the upcoming stages of the tour, where the Argentinian will look to rediscover his strengths: clarity, patience, and resilience under pressure.
