Coello & Tapia Make It Five in a Row — Triay & Brea Win Three-Hour War in Málaga
Coello and Tapia win their 5th consecutive title, 6-2 6-2 in Málaga, while Triay and Brea survive a 3-hour tiebreak final.
The Málaga P1 produced two finals that couldn't have been more different. One lasted under an hour. The other took three.
Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia won their 5th consecutive Premier Padel title. They beat Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger 6-2, 6-2 — so one-sided Padeladdict called it "a monologue."
Tapia reached 60 career titles. They are now tricampeones at Málaga — three straight years owning this venue. Seven titles in 2026, 24+ consecutive wins, and the men's tour looking at a pair nobody can touch.
Augsburger was visibly overwhelmed during changeovers. Lebrón tried tricks and flair to find openings — nothing worked. It was their third final against Coello/Tapia, and they've won only once (Brussels).
The women's final was everything the men's wasn't. Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea faced Paula Josemaría and Bea González on González's home court. The three-hour battle ended 7-5, 3-6, 7-6(3).
Josemaría/González held a 5-1 head-to-head advantage coming in. They'd owned this matchup all season. Not on Sunday.
The third-set tiebreak was pure nerves — Josemaría and González rushed their shots. Triay and Brea kept the ball in play, won the tiebreak 7-3, and claimed their first P1 title of 2026. Gemma Triay now stands alone in second place on the all-time women's titles list — just two behind Alejandra Salazar's record.
