Premier Padel 2026 summer: the tournaments from Valencia to Rotterdam

Between the Italy Major in June and the Paris Major in September, and in the weeks after Roland Garros, Premier Padel staged five P1 tournaments and a run of P2s from Valencia to Rotterdam. Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia took control of the men's tour, while the women's titles were split between Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea, Ari Sánchez and Andrea Ustero, and a brand-new pair led by 18-year-old Martina Calvo.

Valencia and Málaga: the No 1s pull away

A week after beating Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto in the Rome final, Coello and Tapia did it again at the Valencia P1 on 14 June, and from a long way back. Galán and Chingotto won the first set on a tie-break and led 5-2 in the third, then 5-1 in the deciding tie-break, before the world No 1s won 6-7 6-1 7-6 after two hours and 14 minutes, Premier Padel reported. Sánchez and Ustero won the women's title 6-4 3-6 6-2 against Claudia Fernández and Sofia Araújo, their second of the year after Riyadh.

Coello and Tapia then won the Valladolid and Bordeaux P2s and, on 19 July, the Málaga P1, where they beat Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger 6-2 6-2. Triay and Brea needed more than three hours to beat Paula Josemaría and Bea González 7-5 3-6 7-6 in Málaga, their first P1 title of the season.

Pretoria and London: a streak ends, a record falls

The first Pretoria P1, upgraded after the Qatar Major was postponed, broke the No 1s' run: Javi Leal and Fran Guerrero beat them in the semi-finals, ending a sequence of 27 straight finals. Galán and Chingotto then beat Leal and Guerrero 6-2 5-7 7-6 on 2 August, saving a championship point in the tie-break, for their first title since May. "I have to thank Fede for carrying me to this victory," Galán said, as reported by Actu Padel. Triay and Brea beat Fernández and Calvo, playing their first event together, in a final-set tie-break.

A week later, the tour's first London P1 turned that result around. Fernández and Calvo beat the top seeds Triay and Brea 7-5 6-3 on 9 August, and Calvo, one month past her 18th birthday, became the youngest champion in Premier Padel history. Coello and Tapia beat Galán and Chingotto 6-3 5-7 7-5 for their eighth title of 2026.

Madrid: a reshuffle and a seventh title

August brought the summer's biggest partnership change. Franco Stupaczuk split from Mike Yanguas and Jon Sanz left Coki Nieto, and the two formed a new team. Nieto and Yanguas joined forces too, and made an immediate impact at the Madrid P1: they knocked Coello and Tapia out in the quarter-finals and reached the final, where Galán and Chingotto beat them 6-4 5-7 6-4 on 6 September for their seventh title of the year. Triay and Brea lost the first set on a tie-break against Josemaría and González, then won the next two 6-3 6-3 for their sixth title.

Rotterdam: Stupaczuk and Sanz arrive, Sánchez and Ustero repeat

After Coello and Tapia and Sánchez and Ustero won the Paris Major, the same two pairs triumphed at the Rotterdam P2 on 4 October. Stupaczuk and Sanz beat Galán and Chingotto in the quarter-finals to reach their first Premier Padel final together and broke first in it, but Coello and Tapia won 6-3 6-2 in 69 minutes. It was their tenth title of the season and their third Rotterdam title in a row, and it took their Race lead to 1,780 points, according to the FIP.

Sánchez and Ustero beat top seeds Triay and Brea in the semi-finals and second seeds Josemaría and González 6-4 6-4 in the final, their fourth title of 2026 and second in a row. "We have worked very hard to play these kinds of matches," Ustero told the FIP.

What it means

The summer reversed the spring. Galán and Chingotto, who led the Race in May, won only two summer titles and lost the Valencia, London and two Major finals to Coello and Tapia. Stupaczuk and Sanz met the No 1s in the final again at the Germany P2 a week after Rotterdam and lost again, which suggests a new contender but not yet a new rival. The women's tour stays open: the summer titles were shared among several pairs, with Triay and Brea, winners of three P1s, the most consistent.
