The race for the world throne has not It's never been so tight. After their victory at the World Pairs Championship, Alejandro Galán et Federico Chingotto are now only at 680 point de Tapia and Coello , Race 2025This dynamic completely reignites the battle for the top spot in the world.

A quick return to the race

Just a few weeks ago, the Golden boys had a lead of nearly 1,500 points. But the men of Jorge Martínezpropelled by three consecutive titles (Milan, Newgiza, Kuwait), they have triggered a meteoric rise.
At this rate, Galán and Chingotto could well overturn the rankings by the end of November.

The tipping point scenarios

The next meeting, the Dubai P1, involves 1 000 points.
Several scenarios are possible:

  • Si Galán and Chingotto win the tournament and Tapia/Coello bow out before the semi-finalsThey will pass the race before the golden boys from Dubai.
  • The most likely scenario remains that of a a new final between the two pairsIn the event of a Chingalan victory, they would then return to only 280 points the Golden Boys.
  • The shift could then occur as early as the following week, at FIP Platinum Veracruz, where Tapia and Coello are not registeredA victory in Mexico (300 FIP points) would offer first place in the race to Galán and Chingotto.

A decisive calendar

By the end of the season, 4 800 points are still to be distributed:

  • Dubai P1 – 1,000 points
  • FIP Platinum Veracruz - 300 points
  • Acapulco Major – 1,000 points
  • Barcelona Finals – 1,000 points

Every match will count in this end of the electric seasonwhere consistency and mental freshness will make the difference.

But in the world rankings, the Golden Boys maintain a margin

However, be careful not to confuse the Race and world ranking.
The latter works like in tennis: points are calculated on the 12 last monthsand the players must defend their titles.

Problem for Tapia and Coello: they had almost winnings at the end of the 2024 season Dubai P1, Mexico MajorTwo major tournaments that had given them a considerable lead.

If they do not repeat these performances, they will lose points in the overall rankings, which will pave the way for a shift… but probably not before the end of the year.

An irresistible dynamic

With three consecutive titles and an impressive level of play, Galan and Chingotto seem to have taken psychological ascendancy on Tapia and Coello.
More than just a question of points, it's a battle of attrition and trust which is shaping up to be a clash between the two best pairs in the world.

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 !
