Premier Padel Weekly Recap: Bordeaux P2 — July 5, 2026
Bordeaux served up one of the most dramatic weekends of the 2026 Premier Padel season. The Betclic Bordeaux P2 (28 June – 5 July) wrapped up inside the indoor Mériadeck Arena with a men’s “Superclásico” that went the distance and a women’s final that will be talked about for years. Here’s your quick catch-up, plus the latest world rankings and what’s coming next.
Tournament results
Men’s final
World No. 1s Agustín Tapia & Arturo Coello edged Alejandro Galán & Federico Chingotto 5-7, 7-6(4), 6-2 to lift their fourth consecutive title together. On Bordeaux’s slow indoor court the two pairs traded breaks all night, but after clawing back the second set in a tie-break, Tapia and Coello pulled away in the decider. It was the latest chapter in the sport’s fiercest rivalry — the pairs walked on level at 4-4 head-to-head, and Galán was contesting the 100th final of his career.
Women’s final
The upset of the season: Tamara Icardo & Claudia Jensen stunned world No. 1s Delfina Brea & Gemma Triay 3-6, 6-1, 6-1. After dropping the opening set, the underdogs flipped the match on its head, with 20-year-old left-hander Jensen taking control at the net. It’s their first title as a team — and Icardo’s first Premier Padel crown since 2021 — earned the hard way by knocking out the No. 4, No. 2 and No. 1 seeds on three straight days.
Highlights
- A giant-killing run. Icardo and Jensen arrived in Bordeaux without a title together and left as champions, beating Paula Josemaría & Bea González 6-4, 6-3 in the semis before ambushing Brea and Triay in the final.
- The streak stays alive. Tapia, who swings the NOX AT10, and Coello, on his Babolat frame, have now won four events in a row and look untouchable at the top of the game.
- So close for “Chingalán.” Galán — whose Adidas Metalbone is one of the most popular power rackets around — and Chingotto led for long stretches but couldn’t close the door.
- Men’s semi-finals: Tapia/Coello beat Martín Di Nenno & Fran Navarro 6-3, 6-2; Galán/Chingotto saw off Mike Yanguas & Franco Stupaczuk 7-5, 7-5.

Expect Tapia and Coello to chase title No. 5, a fired-up Galán and Chingotto looking for payback, and plenty of eyes on whether Icardo and Jensen can back up their Bordeaux heroics.
