Chingotto & Galán Own the Clásico — 4th Title in Asunción

Fede Chingotto and Ale Galán won the Asunción P2 final on Sunday, beating Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia 6-3, 7-5. Their fourth title of 2026. Their third consecutive head-to-head final win over the world #1 seeds.

The match started with a statement. Coello and Tapia hadn't been broken all week. Chingotto and Galán broke them in the first game. From there, Chingotto delivered what MARCA called "a masterclass of tactical play" — reading every angle, choosing every shot with surgical precision. The first set was theirs at 6-3.

Coello and Tapia fought back in the second. But every time the match reached a decisive "golden point," Chingotto and Galán found the answer. Two spectacular points from Chingotto sealed the 7-5 and the trophy.

Context matters here. In the semis, Coello/Tapia had beaten Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger 6-2, 6-1 in 45 minutes. They looked untouchable. Yet against Chingotto/Galán — who had needed three hours just to survive the quarterfinals against Tello/Arce — the Golden Boys froze again when the title was on the line.

The numbers tell the story: Chingotto/Galán are 23-3 this season with titles at Gijón, Miami, Brussels, and Asunción. Coello/Tapia are 2-for-6 in finals — their worst start since forming in 2023.

The women's clásico delivered again. Paula Josemaría and Bea González came from a set down to beat Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the women's final. Their fourth consecutive title. Their sixteenth consecutive match win. And as of Monday, they are the new FIP Race #1 — overtaking Brea/Triay for the top spot.

This was the fifth consecutive final between the same two pairs. Brea and Triay took the first set. But Josemaría and González flipped the match with relentless pressure in the second, then pulled away in the third as Brea appeared to struggle physically. González is now 3-for-3 in Asunción — she's never lost there.

Buenos Aires P1 starts today. The Race is wide open in both draws. We're about to find out who really owns 2026.
