The second Major of the 2026 season wrapped up at Roland-Garros on Sunday in front of a record 81,000 spectators across the week — Premier Padel's biggest crowd yet for a single event. One final went to a third-set tiebreak. The other was over inside 71 minutes. Here's what actually happened in Paris, and what it means heading into Dubai P1 this November.

Men's final: Coello & Tapia survive a decider for title No. 4 in a row

Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia beat Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto 6-3, 4-6, 7-6(1) to win their fourth consecutive Paris Major. It wasn't straightforward: Galán and Chingotto leveled the match by taking the second set, then broke early in the decider. Coello and Tapia broke straight back, then dominated the tiebreak from the first point to close it out. It's title No. 27 together for the pair — and their fourth Paris Major in a row, a run no other team has matched at this event.

Both men's finalists' rackets are in stock: Tapia's NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum, Coello's HEAD Coello Pro, Galán's Adidas Ale Galán Metalbone 3.5, and Chingotto's Bullpadel Neuron 02.

The women's draw had the bigger upsets — before the final flipped one-sided

The women's semi-finals did more damage to the seedings than the final did. World No.1s Gemma Triay and Delfina Brea, unbeaten for most of the season, went out in the semis to Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo 6-4, 6-2. A round earlier, No.2 seeds Paula Josemaría and Beatriz González were knocked out in the quarters by Marta Ortega and Sofia Araújo in a three-set thriller, 2-6, 7-6, 7-6.

Ariana Sánchez and Andrea Ustero, seeded third, had to work for their spot in the final too — they needed three sets to see off Ortega and Araújo in the semis, 5-7, 6-4, 6-1. But the final itself was a different story. Sánchez and Ustero beat Fernández and Calvo 6-2, 6-0 in just 71 minutes for their first Major title together as a pair — a big result for 19-year-old Ustero, who only partnered up with Sánchez at the start of this season.

Sánchez's Adidas Arrow Hit Pro EDT is in stock if you're after what she played the final with. Ustero's racket isn't currently in our range — message us on WhatsApp with your game and we'll point you to the closest fit we do stock.

What it means for UAE players

Coello and Tapia's response after last week's shock quarter-final exit in Madrid says a lot — this is still the pair to beat heading into Dubai P1, 9–15 November. On the women's side, the door is now wide open: the world No.1s losing in the semis in Paris is the kind of result that changes how the run-in to Dubai gets talked about. Full ranking movement gets covered in our September rankings breakdown.

Whichever pair you're backing, the question we get every week is the same: what should you actually be playing with, not what the pros are paid to hold. If you're not sure whether a Metalbone, a Neuron, an AT10 Genius, or a Coello Pro fits your level, message us your game on WhatsApp and we'll point you straight, no upsell.

Play it Bueno.
