Le Dubai Premier Padel P1 has relaunched the season. After three consecutive titles of Galan / Chingotto (Milan, Newgiza, Kuwait), the Golden boys have made a big impact: a clear victory in the final, total domination… and above all, a renewed sense of purpose in the race to global 1 number.

With this success, Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello carry their lead to 1 080 points in the Race 2025 rankings. A significant lead, but far from definitive: there are still two major tournaments to go, including one Majori.e 3,000 points at stake.

What do Galán/Chingotto need to do to become number 1?

Despite the setback in Dubai, Galan and Chingotto still have their destiny in their own hands.

The calculation is simple:

  • There’s nothing quite like a victory in Acapulco would allow them to resume 800 point minimum to Tapia / Coello (if both pairs finish in the final).
  • The gap would then increase to 280 point, completely relaunching the race before the Barcelona Finals.

And that's where everything would be decided.

Au Tour Finals :

  • 1 500 points for the champions
  • 900 point for the finalists

Yes "Chingalan“If they win in Barcelona, ​​they would resume 600 point additional.
In this scenario, they would become world number 1.

In other words : The battle could be decided in the last match of the year., in a melting Palau Sant Jordi.

The mystery of the FIP Platinum Veracruz

Another factor that may tip the scales:
Chingotto and Galan appear registered at Veracruz FIP Platinum.

This tournament offers 300 point to the winners.

If they participate and go all the way, Chingotto and Galan will win 300 points and if they then win the Mexico Major then they will overtake Tapia and Coello in the Race by 20 points.

For now, the doubt remains, because perhaps they will withdraw from the tournament to recover physically after a series of 3 tournaments, with the aim of arriving fresh before the 2 biggest events of this end of the season.

Match ball for Tapia / Coello at Mexico Major

The situation is clear:

  • If Tapia / Coello win the Acapulco MajorThey have practically completed the race for the throne.
  • Their lead would increase to 1 880 points if the final pits them against Galán / Chingotto (or 1 280 (if Chingalan wins Veracruz).

Unexpected arbiters in the race for the throne

The struggle will not be limited to the duel alone. Tapia/Coello vs. Galán/Chingotto.

Le Mexico Major will also be the scene of great debuts and reunions:

  • Lebrón / Augsburger, explosive new pair
  • The Superpibesback together
  • Yanguas / Nieto, in search of big points
  • Garrido / Campagnolo, in a positive dynamic

All of these teams are capable of taking down one or the other duo… and completely upending the calculations.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
