Le  Dubai Premier Padel P1  has relaunched the season. After three consecutive titles of  Galan / Chingotto  (Milan, Newgiza, Kuwait), the  Golden boys  have made a big impact: a clear victory in the final, total domination… and above all, a renewed sense of purpose in the race to  global 1 number .

With this success,  Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello  carry their lead to  1 080 points  in the Race 2025 rankings. A significant lead, but far from definitive: there are still two major tournaments to go, including one  Major i.e  3,000 points at stake .

 What do Galán/Chingotto need to do to become number 1? 

Despite the setback in Dubai,  Galan and Chingotto  still have their destiny in their own hands.

The calculation is simple:

  • A  victory in Acapulco  would allow them to resume  800 points  minimum to Tapia / Coello (if both pairs finish in the final).
  • The gap would then increase to  280 points , completely relaunching the race before the  Barcelona Finals .

And that's where everything would be decided.

Au  Tour Finals  :

  •  1 500 points  for the champions
  •  900 points  for the finalists

Yes " Chingalan “If they win in Barcelona, ​​they would resume  600 points  additional.
In this scenario, they would become  world number 1 .

In other words :  The battle could be decided in the last match of the year. , in a melting Palau Sant Jordi.

 The mystery of the FIP Platinum Veracruz 

Another factor that may tip the scales:
Chingotto and Galan appear registered at  Veracruz FIP Platinum .

This tournament offers  300 points  to the winners.

If they participate and go all the way,  Chingotto and Galan  will win 300 points and if they then win the Mexico Major then they will overtake Tapia and Coello in the Race by 20 points.

For now, the doubt remains, because perhaps they will withdraw from the tournament to recover physically after a series of 3 tournaments, with the aim of arriving fresh before the 2 biggest events of this end of the season.

 Match ball for Tapia / Coello at Mexico Major 

The situation is clear:

  •  If Tapia / Coello win the Acapulco Major They have practically completed the race for the throne.
  • Their lead would increase to  1 880 points  if the final pits them against Galán / Chingotto (or  1 280  (if Chingalan wins Veracruz).

 Unexpected arbiters in the race for the throne 

The struggle will not be limited to the duel alone.  Tapia/Coello vs. Galán/Chingotto .

Le  Mexico Major  will also be the scene of great debuts and reunions:

  •  Lebrón / Augsburger , explosive new pair
  •  The Superpibes back together
  •  Yanguas / Nieto , in search of big points
  •  Garrido / Campagnolo , in a positive dynamic

All of these teams are capable of taking down one or the other duo… and completely upending the calculations.

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 !
