La Valladolid P2 men's final had the feel of revenge, emotion and personal challenge. In a melting Plaza Mayor, Arturo Coello, a local boy, and Agustín Tapia have confirmed their status as world number 1, by imposing 7 / 5 6 / 4 face Franco Stupaczuk et Juan Lebrón.

A first set with a stunning scenario

In fast conditions, the four players start off with a bang. The exchanges are explosive, the level high, and first of all Lebron and Stupa who take the upper hand. Carried by a Imperial Lebron, the Spanish-Argentine duo creates the first chances and breaks. At 5-3, they even have the possibility of closing the set… but that's when Tapia plays his best padelThe Argentinian genius strings together winning shots, dictates the tempo, and Coello / Tapia come back together before completely reversing the dynamic. Four games in a row for the number 1, with an easy smash missed by Stupa on set point, sealing a first act won 7/5.

Lebrón affected, Tapia-Coello in bosses

The blow is hard for Lebrón and Stupa. Especially since from the start of the second set, Coello and Tapia break from the start. Added to this is a physical problem for Juan Lebrón, who calls the physiotherapist to treat back pain. Despite this, the Andalusian grits his teeth. On the bench, he even lets out: " I will die here if necessary ».

But the break conceded will never be recovered. Tapia and Coello then unfold without trembling, solid in their serve, to finally win 6/4 in this second round.

Valladolid finally crowns Coello in the Plaza Mayor

Arturo Coello had already won here in 2024 with Tapia, but never on the legendary Plaza Mayor. It is now done, his home, in this unique setting that he dreamed of taming. It is also the 5th title of the season for both men, and the 24th coronation Premier Padel for Coello, who becomes alone the most successful player in history of the circuit.

Stupa and Lebrón: a tournament full of promise

Despite the defeat, the course of Stupa and Lebron is to be emphasized. They have beaten Chingotto / Galán for the first time in the semi-finals, delivered solid matches throughout the week, and despite Juan's pain, they were able to remain competitive. The duo confirms its rise to power, with real potential for the coming weeks.

Now meet at Bordeaux , where all these headliners will be back in action next week.

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 !
