Madrid P1 finished on 6 September with two finals that both went the distance, and with a milestone that had never been reached before.
Galán Comes Home
Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto beat Jorge "Coki" Nieto and Miguel Yanguas 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 at the Movistar Arena — their seventh title as a pair, and Galán's first in Madrid since the inaugural 2022 edition. For a Madrid-born player, the four-year wait had become conspicuous.
The final also confirmed the late-summer mercato as something more than gossip. Nieto and Yanguas, both playing with new partners after the August swaps, reached a P1 final inside a few weeks of forming. The second set they took off the world No.3s was not a fluke.
Triay's 200th
Gemma Triay and Delfina Brea lost the opening set on a tie-break and won the next two 6-3, 6-3 to beat Paula Josemaría and Bea González — their sixth title of the season, and a result that kept them clear at the top of the rankings.
The number that stood out was individual. Triay became the first player in the history of the Premier Padel tour to reach 200 circuit victories. In a sport whose professional structure is only a few years old, a career statistic of that size says as much about durability as dominance.
The Week Before Paris
Madrid was always positioned as the final tune-up before Roland-Garros, and it did that job honestly: three-set finals in both draws, a new pairing reaching a final, and the No.1 pairs in each gender arriving in Paris with questions rather than certainties.
Those questions were answered a week later, in a Paris Major final that turned on twenty minutes.
