Chingotto & Galán Own Buenos Aires — 5th Title, 16,920 Fans, Total Domination

Fede Chingotto and Ale Galán are the best pair in the world right now. Full stop.

They beat Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia 6-2, 6-1 in the Buenos Aires P1 final — 78 minutes that felt like a statement, not a match. They led 4-0 in the first set. They led 5-1 in the second. Galán closed it out with three consecutive winners. The crowd erupted. Coello and Tapia had nowhere to hide.

That's five titles in 2026: Gijón, Miami, Brussels, Asunción, Buenos Aires. Seventeen as a pair. And four straight finals won against the world number ones. Let the scorelines tell the story: 6-3 7-5 in Asunción, now 6-2 6-1 in Buenos Aires. The margin is growing, not shrinking.

For Coello and Tapia, this is uncharted territory. Four consecutive finals lost — all to the same pair. They looked sharp in the semis, beating Franco Stupaczuk and Mike Yanguas 6-2, 7-6. But something breaks when they face Chingotto and Galán. The composure and the big points — it all tilts the other way.

Paula Josemaría and Bea González won the women's final 6-3, 7-5 against Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea. Their fifth consecutive title. Their sixth consecutive final against the same opponents. Twenty consecutive wins. Josemaría and González controlled the first set, then held their nerve through a tense 4-4 stretch in the second to close it out in 67 minutes.

Both semifinals produced drama. Triay and Brea saved a match point against Claudia Fernández and Sofía Araújo (3-6, 7-6, 6-4). Josemaría and González came from a set down against Ari Sánchez and Andrea Ustero (2-6, 7-5, 6-4). Neither pair had it easy — but both found a way to the final again.

The other headline: 16,920 spectators packed the Mary Terán de Weiss stadium during the semifinals, setting a new world attendance record for padel. The previous record? Also Buenos Aires. Tapia said it best: "We wait for this week all year."
