The historic first London Premier Padel P1 could hardly have had a better finish, with two spectacular finals featuring the best players in the world in front of a packed Centre Court at Olympia London. The iconic venue welcomed Premier Padel to the UK in style, with more than 20,000 fans attending across the week.

TWO RECORDS FOR THE YOUNGEST-EVER CHAMPIONS

Martina Calvo and Claudia Fernández made history in London. Not only did they become the first women to lift a Premier Padel title on British soil, but they also set two new records for the youngest-ever champions.

At 18 years, one month and four days old, Martina Calvo became the youngest player ever to win a Premier Padel title. Calvo and Fernández, aged 18 and 20 respectively, also became the youngest pairing to achieve the feat.

Just their second tournament together, and barely a week after losing a dramatic Pretoria P1 final to world No. 1s Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea, the Spaniards avenged that defeat in style. They won 7-5, 6-3 in 1 hour and 45 minutes to overcome the world’s best and celebrate in front of millions of padel fans around the globe. It was another statement of intent from a new pairing who already look capable of establishing themselves among the sport’s elite in the years to come.

A STATEMENT WIN FOR THE ‘GOLDEN BOYS’

After the women’s final, London came alive for the 10th ‘Superclásico’ of the season between the world’s top two pairings: Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia against Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto. The world No. 1s came out on top in another spectacular contest, lasting almost two hours and going the distance before the ‘Golden Boys’ prevailed 6-3, 5-7, 7-5.

Arturo and Agus returned to winning ways after their semi-final defeat at the Pretoria P1, having arrived in South Africa on the back of five consecutive titles. It was Galán and Chingotto who lifted the trophy there, with ‘Chingalán’ looking to close the gap on the world No. 1s. They gave it everything, but ultimately came up short in a fiercely contested final against the class, composure and determination of Coello and Tapia.

The ‘Golden Boys’ have now claimed their eighth title of the season, two more than ‘Chingalán’, and head into the summer break with a healthy lead in the FIP rankings as well as more silverware to their name. Above all, they leave London having stamped their authority on the historic first P1 in the British capital, with the eyes of the padel world firmly upon them.
