The P1 Dubai final sees the duo clash once again Coello / Tapia et Galan / Chingotto. On paper, the world's first pair seems to make a big difference.
Let us first recall that when we speak of the pair Hispanic-Argentine, We are talking about 29 consecutive wins with 58 sets won for only a lost set en 125 days ! Yes, you read that right: only one set conceded by Coello / Tapia against the elite of world padel. Presented in this way, the world's first pair seems untouchable, especially since Galan / Chingotto has not regained its former regularity in the game. Sure, they are in the final, but we have observed some failures, particularly on the side of Galan, which does not speak in favour of the second world pair.
Moreover, on a moral level, Galan / Chingotto is going through a “slightly” difficult period, having not won a title since P2 of Genoa last June. Talking about “difficulty” may seem daring when we are talking about a pair having reached 14 finals in as many tournaments. Yet, opposite, Coello / Tapia currently seems unstoppable even though it remains at a distance from the Bela / JMD's unbeaten record (627 days/94 wins).
