Galán and Chingotto Win Miami P1 2026, Ending Coello/Tapia's Historic Final Streak

Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto are the champions of the Premier Padel Miami P1 2026. The world number two pair defeated Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 in Sunday’s men’s final at the Miami Beach Convention Center, bringing an end to one of the most remarkable records in professional padel.

The End of a Historic Streak

The result carries significance well beyond the scoreline. With this victory, Galán and Chingotto snapped Coello and Tapia’s run of 19 consecutive Premier Padel final victories — an unbroken record that had defined the world number ones’ dominance over the circuit for an extended period.

This was the 32nd meeting between the two pairs on tour. Heading into Sunday’s match, the all-time head-to-head stood at 21-10 in favor of Coello and Tapia, though in 2026 the record had been level at 1-1. The Miami P1 result gives Galán and Chingotto the edge in the current season’s head-to-head.

Match Breakdown

First Set: Chingotto Controls the Cross-Court Game (7-5)

The opening set was defined by Federico Chingotto’s cross-court play against Coello, which the Argentine right-side player used with consistent effect throughout the parcial. Galán and Chingotto managed the rallies on their terms and closed the set 7-5, establishing an early lead in the final.

Second Set: Coello Responds Aggressively (3-6)

Arturo Coello raised the intensity sharply in the second set. Building a 5-1 lead in just 18 minutes, Coello led a commanding response from the world number one pair. They went on to close the set 6-3, leveling the match and setting up a decisive third set.

Third Set: Galán and Chingotto Hold Their Nerve (6-3)

Galán and Chingotto came out of the gates fast in the deciding set, establishing a 3-0 lead that put them in control. Coello and Tapia fought back to level the set, but Chingotto sealed the match with an explosive net shot followed by a precise backhand finish. The third set ended 6-3, confirming the title for the number two pair.

Galán and Chingotto Consolidate Their Season

This victory is Galán and Chingotto’s second title of the 2026 season. Having reached three finals from the first four tournaments of the year, the pair has established itself as the clearest challenger to the world number one ranking position as the season progresses.

The tournament also carried personal context for Alejandro Galán, who faced his former longtime partner Juan Lebrón in an earlier round. Galán and his current partner Chingotto advanced past that match before reaching the final.

Federico Chingotto was named MVP of the final, reflecting his influence throughout all three sets and particularly in the decisive moments of the first and third.

A Sellout Tournament on North American Soil

The Premier Padel Miami P1 2026 — the fourth event of the season and the first P1 held in North America this year — recorded four consecutive sellout days at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Among those in attendance at the final were tennis players Carlos Alcaraz and Matteo Berrettini.

What Comes Next

The Premier Padel circuit continues its 2026 calendar with the next events scheduled in the coming weeks. Galán and Chingotto’s Miami title moves them closer to Coello and Tapia at the top of the rankings, setting up what looks to be a closely contested season across the remaining tournaments.
