The Paris Major Premier Padel has reached its climax at Roland Garros, setting the stage for high-stakes finals in both the men’s and women’s categories. With 2,000 FIP ranking points on the line, the tournament has narrowed the field down to the sport's most dominant rivalries.

The Road to the Paris Major Finals

The women’s draw features a clash between two rising pairs, while the men’s final showcases the familiar, intense rivalry between the tour's top two duos. Here is how the finalists secured their spots:

  • Fernandez and Calvo: After reaching finals in Pretoria and London, Claudia Fernandez and Martina Calvo secured their place in the Paris Major final by defeating top seeds and defending champions Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay 6-4, 6-2. They utilized a decisive break in the ninth game of the first set and two service breaks in the second to dethrone the defending titleholders.
  • Sanchez and Ustero: Ari Sanchez and Andrea Ustero, who also reached the final at the Foro Italico, advanced by overcoming a one-set deficit. They defeated Marta Ortega and Sofia Araujo with a final score of 5-7, 6-4, 6-1.
  • Coello and Tapia: Seeking their third consecutive Roland Garros title, Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia moved past Juan Lebron and Leo Augsburger with a 7-5, 6-3 victory. The match was decided by two critical breaks—one in the 12th game of the opening set and another in the sixth game of the second.
  • Chingotto and Galan: Fede Chingotto and Ale Galan earned their spot in the final by mounting a comeback against Paquito Navarro and Martin Di Nenno. Despite falling behind early in both sets, they rallied to close out the match 7-5, 6-2 in just 80 minutes.

This men’s final marks the third consecutive time these two pairs have met for the title at Roland Garros. The dominance of these teams is evident in the 2026 season statistics: between them, Coello/Tapia and Chingotto/Galan have claimed victory in 15 of the 16 tournaments played this year. Coello and Tapia currently hold eight titles, while Chingotto and Galan have secured seven, including a win last Sunday in Madrid. Notably, Coello and Tapia were the victors in the season's first Major in Rome.

The women’s final is scheduled to begin at 14:00 CEST, followed by the men’s final, which will take place no earlier than 16:30 CEST.
