Milano P1: Coello and Tapia come from a set down for a fourth straight title as Ari Sánchez equals the all-time record

The Milano P1 ended with two familiar names on the men's trophy and a piece of history in the women's final. World No 1s Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia came from a set down to beat Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger 4-6 6-3 6-2, and Ari Sánchez and Andrea Ustero beat Paula Josemaría and Bea González 7-6(3) 6-3.

Coello and Tapia survive the scare

A day after coming back from 6-0 down against Galán and Chingotto, Lebrón and Augsburger took the opening set 6-4 — the first set they had won against the No 1s since beating them in the Brussels final in April, according to Padel Addict. They then had three break points early in the second set. Coello and Tapia saved them all, broke soon after and did not look back, taking the last two sets 6-3 6-2 after more than two hours.

Tapia later credited his partner for carrying the team through the difficult spell. "Arturo was playing almost entirely on his own," he said, as quoted by Padel Magazine.

The numbers are formidable. It is their fourth consecutive title, after Rotterdam, Düsseldorf and now Milan, an 18-match winning streak and their 12th title of 2026, according to Padel Addict and COPE. It is also their second Milan title, after 2024, and Padel Addict puts their lead over Galán and Chingotto in the race at more than 2,800 points — enough, at this stage of the season, to all but settle the year-end No 1 spot. For Lebrón, it was a missed chance at a third Milan title, after winning it in 2022 and 2023 with Ale Galán.

Ari Sánchez joins the record holders

The women's final turned on a tactical change. Josemaría set the pace early and her team looked set to take the first set, but Sánchez and Ustero stopped playing through her, targeted González instead, forced a tie-break and won it 7-3, Padel Addict reported. The second set went their way 6-3.

The title is Ari Sánchez's 58th, level with Gemma Triay and Ale Salazar for the most in the history of women's professional padel, according to Padel Addict and the International Padel Federation. It is a sixth career title for the 19-year-old Ustero, and the pair's third win in their last four tournaments — Paris, Rotterdam and Milan — after beating the world No 1s in the semi-finals. Sánchez had won Milan a year earlier alongside Josemaría, her opponent in this final.

What it means

The men's No 1 race is effectively over, while the women's remains open: with the win, Sánchez and Ustero move up to second in the race, Padel Addict reported. The tournament also introduced a new tradition — the four champions were the first in Premier Padel history to receive a Champions' Ring along with the trophy, the event's official account said.

The circuit now heads towards the Kuwait Major, the World Cup in Doha and the Dubai P1 — see our end-of-season guide and the updated padel rankings.
