Premier Padel P1 – Pretoria & London

Overview

The inaugural Premier Padel African P1 event concluded at SunBet Arena in Pretoria on 1 August 2026. In the women's final, top seeds Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay defeated Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo 6-2, 6-7, 7-6. In the men's final, seventh seeds Fede Chingotto and Ale Galan defeated Fran Guerrero and Javi Leal 6-2, 5-7, 7-6. The Pretoria tournament, notable for using pressurized high-altitude balls, marked a milestone for the sport in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Following Pretoria, the tour moved to the London P1. During the tournament, the men's draw saw significant shifts in the competitive hierarchy, including Javi Leal and Fran Guerrero breaking the 27-tournament finals winning streak of world No. 1 duo Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia in the semifinals.

The London event progressed through quarterfinals on 7 August, featuring prominent Spanish representatives such as Paquito Navarro, Martín Di Nenno, and the duo of Edu Alonso and Aimar Goñi. In the men's final at Olympia London, Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia secured the title against the duo of Federico Chingotto and Ale Galán, winning after losing the second set 5-7.

In the women's category in London, Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo secured the title by defeating world number one pair Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea 7-5, 6-3. This victory follows the pair's runner-up finish in Pretoria one week prior. The win established a historic milestone as Martina Calvo, aged 18 years, 1 month, and 4 days, became the youngest player to win a professional tournament. Additionally, Fernández and Calvo set a new record for the youngest combined age to win a title, totaling 38 years, 6 months, and 21 days.
