The Allianz Cloud in Milan is set for a historic Sunday as the Premier Padel tournament concludes with a pair of highly anticipated finals. After a day of dramatic turnarounds and clinical performances, the stage is set to crown the champions who will walk away with the tournament trophy, 1,000 FIP ranking points, and exclusive Champions' Rings.
The Path to the Finals
In the men’s draw, the narrative shifted dramatically during the second semi-final. While the women’s bracket features a unique storyline as former partners turn into rivals, the men’s competition saw an upset to the expected order.
- The Lebron-Augsburger Comeback: Juan Lebron and Leo Augsburger pulled off a stunning reversal against Fede Chingotto and Ale Galan. Despite losing the first set 6-0 in just 23 minutes, the pair rallied to win the next two sets 6-2, 6-2. This victory denies the highly anticipated "Clasico" final between Galan/Chingotto and Coello/Tapia, instead sending the number 3 seeds to their second final of the season.
- Coello and Tapia’s Dominance: Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia secured their spot in the final by defeating Franco Stupaczuk and Jon Sanz 6-4, 6-3. This win marks their fourth consecutive final appearance and puts them in position to chase their 12th title together. Notably, Coello achieved a personal milestone during this tournament by becoming the first player to reach 300 Premier Padel victories.
- Sanchez and Ustero’s Efficiency: In the women’s semi-finals, Ari Sanchez and Andrea Ustero continued their impressive form by defeating Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay 6-1, 6-4. This victory marks their fourth consecutive final appearance, following a successful run that includes titles in Paris and Rotterdam.
- Josemaria and Gonzalez’s Return to Form: Paula Josemaria and Bea Gonzalez earned their place in the final by overcoming Claudia Fernandez and Martina Calvo in straight sets. The match concluded on a dramatic, long-lasting rally on their second match point. This win gives the pair a chance to secure their seventh title of the season and their first since the Valladolid tournament.
The women’s final is scheduled for 15:00 CEST, featuring a compelling matchup between former partners Paula Josemaria and Ari Sanchez, who won the Milan title together just last year. The men’s final will follow no earlier than 17:00, as Lebron and Augsburger look to challenge the formidable duo of Coello and Tapia for the crown at the sold-out Allianz Cloud.
