Coello and Tapia still kings. Ustero writes history: she is the youngest champion ever

In Bordeaux, Andrea Ustero rewrote the history of the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour : at 18 years, 1 month and 24 days, the Spaniard – who had already lost two finals last year in Dubai and Paris – became the youngest champion ever, beating the record of Claudia Fernandez , who had triumphed at 18 years, 3 months and 4 days. First title for Ustero, third for Sofia Araujo , 24th as a pair for Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia , who after triumphing a week ago in Valladolid repeated the feat at the Patinoire de Mériadeck.

WOMEN The women's final lasted two hours and 20 minutes, with Ustero and Araujo beating Bea Caldera and Carmen Goenaga 7-5 2-6 6-2 in an unprecedented final, with three of the four players never victorious in the Premier Padel circuit. In the end, the young Spaniard and the Portuguese won the battle, taking home the first set despite suffering a comeback from 5-2 to 5-5 and closing in the third after Caldera and Goenaga had managed to bring the match back to parity. "This victory is the fruit of a lot of work - Ustero 's joy -. I dedicate all this to those who have been close to me since I started playing padel until I got here, but also to my family and Sofia, who is an example for me ." For Araujo it is the third Premier Padel title, after those of Genoa and NewGiza in 2024: "I congratulate Andrea for his first title, but also Bea and Carmen for their first final. I hope that for us it is the first of many tournaments won".

MEN The men's final between Coello and Tapia and the pair formed by Fede Chingotto and Ale Galan was the usual show: the world number 1s won it, lifting another trophy a week after the one in Plaza Mayor in Valladolid, the sixth overall of the season. 7-6 6-4 was the final score in two hours and 10 minutes, after an incredible tiebreak in the first set that ended 14-12 for Arturito and Agus. In the second set, however, Chingotto and Galan were unable to manage a break of advantage. "Thanks to everyone who was here this week - Arturo 's words -. As always, I congratulate Fede and Ale, because we continue to compete every week and in every tournament with great loyalty ". “I am very happy for the victory and for our team – added Tapia –. Every final against Fede and Ale is complicated and we are forced to give our best. This week we fought hard both in the quarterfinals against Gonzalez and Sanz and today demonstrating that we have great mental strength” .

Before the summer break, the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour will return to Spain for two P1s: Malaga and Tarragona . And also in Spain, from Tuesday to Sunday, the first two phases of the FIP Euro Padel Cup will be played.
