Galán & Chingotto Dethrone the #1s in Miami — Josemaría Ends Triay/Brea's Unbeaten Run

Both number one pairs walked into the Miami P1 finals as favorites. Neither walked out with the trophy.

Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto beat Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 in the men's final. The opening set was tense — unforced errors on both sides, nerves on the biggest US padel stage ever. Chingotto won the cross-court battle against Coello to edge the first set.

Tapia and Coello fought back aggressively in the second, taking it 6-3. Then Galán and Chingotto surged to 3-0 in the decider, absorbed a brief comeback, and Chingotto sealed it with an explosive bandeja. MVP of the final. Their second title of 2026.

A day earlier, they'd beaten García/Barahona 6-1, 6-0 in the quarters and Franco Stupaczuk/Fede Yanguas 6-2, 6-2 in the semis. This wasn't a one-match surge. It was a week of dominance.

The women's final was even more dramatic. Paula Josemaría and Beatriz González defeated Gemma Triay and Delfina Brea 6-3, 4-6, 7-5 in a near three-hour marathon.

Josemaría took home MVP. Her left-handed defense and pinpoint chiquitas tore Triay and Brea apart. They hadn't lost a match all season. That streak is over.

One week earlier in Cancún, Triay and Brea beat this exact pair 7-6, 6-1 in the final. The response from Josemaría and González? They came back sharper, tougher, and more composed under pressure. This rivalry is now real.

The race is wide open in both draws. Galán and Chingotto sit 3,570 points behind Tapia/Coello. The world number ones are skipping Newgiza next month — that gap is about to shrink. In the women's game, the aura of invincibility around Triay and Brea is gone. The 2026 season just got a lot more interesting.
