The men's final of the Dubai Premier Padel P1 will be Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger against Valentino Libaak and Gonzalo Alfonso. Both pairs won in straight sets in Saturday's semi-finals on 14 November, while the women's title will be decided in an all-Spanish final between Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo and Paula Josemaría and Bea González.

Libaak and Alfonso end De Pascual and Garrido's run

The No. 10 seeds were the most convincing winners of the day. Libaak and Alfonso beat Javier Garrido and his partner De Pascual 6-1 6-4, a result confirmed by our draw page, StudyPadel and Analistas Pádel, which said the winners came out with "very good sensations" from the start.

Their opponents had produced two of the biggest upsets of the week. Seeded 14th, De Pascual and Garrido beat Yanguas and Nieto in a final-set tie-break in the round of 16 and then knocked out third seeds Stupaczuk and Sanz 6-1 7-5 in the quarter-finals. Analistas Pádel noted it was De Pascual's first Premier Padel semi-final. Libaak and Alfonso had needed three sets to reach this stage, edging Bautista and Bergamini 4-6 6-3 7-6(3) in the last eight.

Lebrón and Augsburger stop the Italian story

In the other semi-final, second seeds Lebrón and Augsburger beat Flavio Abbate and Franco Dal Bianco 6-4 6-2. The result brings to an end one of the stories of the tournament. Abbate and Dal Bianco came through qualifying, and Abbate became the first Italian to reach a men's Premier Padel semi-final, according to both Analistas Pádel and Padel Magazine. In the quarter-finals they beat seventh seeds González and Campagnolo 7-6(4) 3-6 6-2.

Lebrón and Augsburger are the strong favourites on paper. With Coello and Tapia and Galán and Chingotto both absent from Dubai, Analistas Pádel pointed out that they were the only members of an original top-eight pair still in the draw before the semi-finals. They reached the last four by beating Tello and Arce 6-3 3-6 6-2.

An all-Spanish women's final

On the women's side, fourth seeds Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo beat Claudia Jensen and Tamara Icardo 6-3 6-1. Jensen and Icardo had knocked out top seeds Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea in the quarter-finals, as we reported in our quarter-final story, but they could not repeat that level against the No. 4 seeds.

The second semi-final was tighter. Second seeds Josemaría and González beat third seeds Ari Sánchez and Andrea Ustero 6-4 7-5. Analistas Pádel said Sánchez and Ustero did not manage to consolidate the breaks they won, and Josemaría and González closed out the second set 7-5 to reach the final.

The outcome also matters for the rankings. With Triay and Brea already out, Analistas Pádel wrote that Saturday's women's results all but hand the world No. 1 spot to Triay and Brea.

Sunday's finals

Both finals are played on Sunday, 15 November. Lebrón and Augsburger are the highest seeds left in the men's draw, but Libaak and Alfonso beat them 4-6 7-5 6-1 at the Kuwait Major last month, as we reported from Kuwait. The women's final brings together the second and fourth seeds.
