The CUPRA Germany P2 in Düsseldorf has reached its climax after two days of grueling, world-class padel that saw the tournament's top seeds challenged and new contenders rise to the occasion. The upcoming finals will feature fresh faces on the women’s side and a high-stakes rematch in the men’s category, ensuring that new names will be etched into the event’s history this year.
The Path to the Düsseldorf Finals
The women’s draw provided over six hours of intense competition, resulting in a final between the number 3 and number 4 seeds. Meanwhile, the men’s bracket will see a repeat of the recent Rotterdam final, as the world number ones face a pair that has proven to be a recurring obstacle for their biggest rivals.
- Claudia Fernandez and Martina Calvo: In a marathon three-hour and seven-minute battle, this young duo secured a 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 victory over Bea Gonzalez and Paula Josemaria. Despite facing two match points against them in the final set, Fernandez and Calvo reached their fourth final in just six tournaments together, looking to add to their London P1 title.
- Ari Sanchez and Andrea Ustero: Following their recent successes in Paris and Rotterdam, the number 3 seeds continued their momentum by defeating Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay 7-5, 3-6, 7-5. This victory, which lasted nearly three hours, has propelled Sanchez and Ustero to second place in the FIP Race.
- Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia: The world number ones maintained their dominance by dispatching Juan Lebron and Leo Augsburger in just 65 minutes with a score of 6-2, 6-3. This marks their fifth consecutive straight-sets win against this specific pairing.
- Franco Stupaczuk and Jon Sanz: Proving their victory in Rotterdam was no fluke, Stupaczuk and Sanz once again eliminated Fede Chingotto and Ale Galan, winning 7-6, 6-4. This result sends the pair to their third consecutive final, following impressive runs in Rotterdam and the FIP Platinum Lyon.
With the 2025 champions officially out of contention, the Düsseldorf final will guarantee four new names on the tournament's roll of honor. The women’s final is scheduled to begin at 2 pm CEST, followed by the men’s final no earlier than 4 pm.
