Tournament Results and Key Performances
The women’s bracket saw a dominant run from the eventual champions, who navigated a challenging path to the trophy. Meanwhile, the men’s draw featured a remarkable underdog story, with an unseeded pair overcoming the tournament’s top favorites.

- Women’s Semi-Final Battle: Before reaching the final, the champions had to overcome a grueling test against Natalia Molinilla and Ana Cristina Sanchez, eventually winning in three sets with a score of 4-6, 7-5, 7-6.
- Men’s Final Upset: Javi Collantes and Asier Martinez, who entered the tournament outside the top eight seeds, defeated the No. 1 seeds, Pablo Pastor and Luis Oliver Artigas, in a dramatic three-set match that concluded 6-4, 4-6, 7-6.
- Men’s Semi-Final Success: The eventual champions earned their spot in the final by rallying past the team of Alberto Gasca Romero and Jose Pedro Montalban, winning 6-7, 4-6, 6-2.
This tournament serves as a significant milestone for all four winners, as each player now holds two CUPRA FIP Tour titles for the 2026 calendar year. For Gibson, this adds to her previous success at the FIP Bronze Doha, while Guimet builds on her win at FIP Bronze Mallorca. Similarly, Collantes and Martinez continue their strong momentum following their victory at the FIP Bronze Madrid held in late August.
