Welcome to our full Madrid P1 Recap!

The second half of the Premier Padel season started with one of the craziest tournaments of 2026.

👑 CHINGALAN REIGN SUPREME IN MADRID

Fede Chingotto and Ale Galán deliver another huge result in Madrid and do serious damage in the race for World No. 1. Their road included Patiniotis and García, Esbrí and Sanyo, an incredible three set battle with Paquito and Di Nenno, Jofre and Bautista, and finally Coki Nieto and Mike Yanguas. Galán also plays a Madrid final featuring two Madrid born players for the first time alongside Coki. But there is a bigger question: Did Chingalan fully capitalize even though they never had to personally beat Coello and Tapia? And most importantly… Who was your MVP?

🚀 COKI & YANGUAS ARE REAL

First Premier Padel final together. And they did it by taking out Coello and Tapia 7–5, 7–6 in the quarterfinals. It was the World No. 1 pair’s first quarterfinal loss since May 2025. The tactical plan was fascinating. Coki and Yanguas deliberately attacked Tapia’s volley. Mike displaced Tapia and opened the middle. Coki became more aggressive overhead. And their coaching box told them to stop waiting for mistakes and start creating the points themselves. They entered the final with an 0–6 record against Chingalan. But after Madrid… Are Coki and Yanguas already closer to the number three team in the world than number five?

🚨 MADRID DISASTER FOR LEBURGER

Haroon and Ismaeel picked Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger to WIN Madrid. They did not even make the quarterfinals. LeBurger lose 7–6, 7–5 to Gonza Alfonso and Tino Libaak in the Round of 16. Lebrón even admitted during the match that they were not creating enough. Instead of matching their power, Gonza slowed everything down, changed the rhythm, and forced LeBurger to generate their own attack.

At hat point does the concern become real? And is their position as the clear number three team officially under threat?

🇦🇷 GONZA & LIBAAK GO OFF

Beat Bergamini and Garrido. Beat Lebrón and Augsburger. Come from behind against Abbate and Rodríguez. Reach the semifinals. And even against Coki and Yanguas, they had seven set points in the second set. Gonza manipulated the speed of the match while Tino attacked the spaces he created. Should this partnership stay together for the rest of 2026? And did both players just play themselves into Argentina’s World Cup team?

🧠 HAS PAQUITO BROUGHT BACK PRIME DI NENNO?

Martín Di Nenno looks different. Paquito Navarro and Di Nenno continue showing signs that this reunion could become much more dangerous than expected. Meanwhile Coki and Yanguas reached a final immediat
