00:00The second best pair in the world, Federico Chingotto from Buenos Aires in Argentina, alongside Alejandro Galan from Madrid.
00:17Ranked at number three in the FIP world ranking, just behind Arturo Cuello and Agustin Tapia.
00:23One of the most loved pairs on the circuit, always smiling through those tough moments.
00:28You can feel the drama. Here they come.
00:33Arturo Cuello, the king, Agustin Tapia, Mozart.
00:39Straight set so far in the Tour Finals. Arturo Cuello from Valladolid in Spain.
00:45Agustin Tapia from Catamarca in Argentina. Coached by Gustavo Prato and Martín Canali.
00:52The joint number ones in the world. Arturo Cuello, just 23 years old.
00:57Tapia, 26.
01:04It will be Federico Chingotto.
01:07Goodman.
01:08Great.
01:09Net.
01:11Primer Servicio.
01:18Net. Primer Servicio.
01:19Net. Primer Servicio.
01:22And the first point will go to the second seats.
01:46As will the second.
02:16That is a glimpse of the show, the spectacle, the entertainment that we are going to see
02:34in this final, the way that Federico Cingotto comes out of the court, saves the point,
02:44but Tapia, Tapia is there.
02:46He is there and saves the day and then eventually is into the net on the volley from Cingotto.
02:52What a start to this final.
03:00And we will be able to see if he receives the highest percentage of the play so far.
03:04It has been Arturo Que, who has received 60% of the play so far between himself and Tapia.
03:12Smash from Cingotto to set up a breakpoint chance in this second game.
03:21Cingotto, who at moments during the season was criticized for not being as attacking.
03:30Bajara from Cingotto, blocked by Tapia.
03:39Out goes Cingotto.
03:40This time it's a cross and this time Tapia can't get there.
03:45An excellent communication, if you notice there from Ale Galán, telling Fede,
03:51out you go, and there he's there to pick up anything that comes back over.
03:57An excellent play from Federico Cingotto.
03:59Nothing that Tapia, champion with Argentina in 2022 and 2024.
04:03He's a cornerstone of the national team.
04:05He's also, Agustín Tapia, the most followed player in professional paddle.
04:12The first in the sport to surpass one million followers.
04:18And probably the player with the most viral shots as well.
04:22An excellent defense in the first phase from Tapia.
04:25But it's the winner from Alejandro Galán at the net.
04:2840-15.
04:35I don't know how he did it, Tapia, but there was one yesterday.
04:37They've called it the 22.
04:43Points are being one quickly, decisively and effectively.
04:4715-0 smash from Guayo.
04:49Galán manages to get there.
04:50Tapia almost, Tapia almost is able to block it, reaching as high as he possibly can.
04:59And there's Galán who reaches 11 winners, it's what he's known for.
05:15And only three unforced errors.
05:27Check out your vote and they can't see him get in touch.
05:29Tampia moved into the top.
05:30And some other players are holding up to Paris.
05:32He's won the top and he's gone to Paris.
05:34They can't see him get in touch with him.
05:36The last one to pass.
05:37He does not the pass.
05:38They are the team of players.
05:39And they can't see him get in touch with their pockets.
05:40And they can't see him get in touch with him.
05:42But he's almost done.
05:43He's in touch with the guitar.
05:44He's in touch with Gary and tiefman.
05:45He's in touch with him and he's in touch with his players.
05:47He's in touch with another team.
05:49What's that?
05:50Had a heavier position?
05:51Well, he's in touch with the table.
05:52But you've got to work with their players.
05:53from Tapia blocked by Galán. Now switching it up using the lob to try and push
06:03Alegalán a bit further back. Galán is there with the block again. Tapia can't find the way through
06:21that wall of Alejandro Galán. And Chiquita mixing up the shot selection, trying to find
06:31a way through, but a miscommunication, but Tapia manages to get there, but it's going
06:35to be long from Agostín. Tapia, the call came a little bit too late from Cuello.
06:51And more, the finals being only the best 16 players in the fit race who make it here,
07:03the best eight pairs. And we're down to these two. Pair number one and two in the world.
07:12In comes Chingotto, well defended by Tapia. Another long rally that we're witnessing.
07:19Galán comes in with the smash. Cuello. Cuello. Cuello. Cuello.
07:27In comes Chingotto. Well defended by Tapia. Another long rally that we're witnessing.
07:36Galán comes in with the smash. Cuello. Cuello. Towards Fela Chingotto who, yes, he gets a touch.
07:45But it is too much. And it will be a break point chance again for Tapia and Cuello.
08:00Galán averages 29 winners across his matches.
08:13For Tapia and Cuello. Galán. He's always a tricky opponent.
08:20Also a player that they know so well. Many years of competing against each other.
08:27Here comes Chingotto. Chingotto with the winner. Set up fantastically. Right down the middle of the flat smash.
08:54He looks over to Jorge Martinez with a smile.
09:01Incredible work from Ale Galán on that corner to set it up in the first place.
09:08And you can hear ringing out in the Palau San Jordi. Chingotto.
09:15Advantage Chingotto.
09:20Gustavo Prato didn't have too many words to say to Tapia and Cuello on the bench.
09:25He asked Cuello about the serve and Cuello said, I've got it. Yeah, fine. I've got it. I know what I'm going to do.
09:32So no more words from Gustavo Prato on that one.
09:35Tapia gets a tiny touch. And there it is. It's going to stay in the court though. Galán manages to get on it.
09:44Blocked by Tapia.
09:57Galán comes in firing. Picked up by Cuello.
10:04Takes the pace out down the middle. Chingotto with the dive save.
10:10What a rally. What a winner from Guaya right to the feet of Ale Galán.
10:2230-0. 30-0.
10:32Great.
10:34Great.
10:36The key here. We cannot let Chingotto and Galán break and win this first set. We want to take this to a tie break at six games all.
10:58And he was just trying to, you know, bring the energy up on the bench a little bit of Cuello and Tapia.
11:08What a save from Arturo Cuello. What, what a save as there is applause there from the family of Agustin Tapia.
11:16I don't know how he did it. It was one save without even looking behind his back. Somehow manages to get there.
11:29And I'm trying to feel that, that tense silence here in the Palau San Jordi. Tapia, second serve.
11:38Exceptional defense by Tapia. Across comes Galán. Says this one's mine as Cuello tries to make a run going out of the court.
12:02The water smash from Galán. Perfect. Up at the net. Serves towards Arturo Cuello.
12:24Pass the forehand. Tapia makes the save behind his back.
12:36Chingotto continues to put the pressure on. But it's Cuello. It's Cuello.
12:43Who creates the chance at a break here in this second game of the second set. 30-40.
12:59Advantage. To the second seeds.
13:05It's Cuello.
13:06Calán manages to make the save miraculously. And then comes in with the smash.
13:23It's arms up to the crowd. Alejandro Calán is enjoying himself here in the Palau San Jordi.
13:30And it's three games all.
13:47And now the chart has changed from Chingo to Ale. Look at that face.
13:53That is what it's like to watch Alejandro Calán in some of the best form of his career.
14:02He might not be at number one.
14:05two.
14:12Congratulations, Gela.
14:18And that's what it is.
14:20Take it. Take it. Take it. Do it!
14:23Tapia has to make a late save.
14:25Take it. Take it. Take it.
14:28Galán, Galán with the smash is blocked by Cuello, but here he comes with the second,
14:35and it's a winner, por cuatro. Cuello does his best on this save, but it's not enough,
14:49and there comes Galantico, who points over at Chingoto, saying that's all you, that's
14:54all your assist in this deciding set. 40-30. Fantastic volley by Galán. Switching up the
15:14angle into the corner. Surprises Cuello. Chingoto and Galán have to switch sides, and it comes off the racket.
15:36Galán Chingoto. Of Cuello, he doesn't connect with it. What a save from Chingoto.
15:49And Galán, if you saw that out of context, you might think that they've got into a bit of a fight.
15:54Controlled passion. Can they get this break now? They've had seven break point chances,
16:05they've only converted one of them, that was in the first set.
16:07Bajada from Galán. Blocked by Cuello. Cuello with the smash. Chingoto tries to get there,
16:2030-40-40-40-40-40. And looks over as if, how did that happen? A laugh from Galán.
16:40I think he's saying, you know, nice, nice try. He's so close though. Chingo. They'll have another chance
16:53chance to break. In the audience, here we go.
17:23We thought it was the winner. The rally continues. And the point is won by Federico Chingoto.
17:35To take away, to steal away the tournament point.
17:46What a rally. We thought it was over for a split second.
17:50Chingoto said no.
17:54From the match-up between these two.
17:57And Alejandro Galán has now matched his best ever number of winners.
18:07And they get the break. They save tournament points. It's five games all.
18:11Five games all.
18:19To the delight.
18:23Of Barcelona.
18:29To the delight of Ale Galán.
18:30Tapia says I'm off. He leaps off the ground. And Galán is there. But it's the error from Galán. And in the end, after three thrilling sets, two hours, 51 minutes, it is game, set and match for the final time this season.
18:48To Arturo Cuello and Agustin Tapia, who finish the season world number ones and take home the final trophy, the final title possible of the 2025 season on the Qatar Airways Premier Paddle Tour.
19:06Ale Galán and Federico Chingoto gave it absolutely everything to that final tie break.
19:13But here are your champions.
19:14But here are your champions.
19:20Their thirteenth title.
19:23In 2025.
19:26And it still means that you are the champions.
19:30Their thirteenth title.
19:31In 2025.
19:32And it still means absolutely everything.
19:45As Tapia kisses the court.
19:50El Mozart de Catamarca.
19:53Arturo Cuello, the king, embraces Jorge Martinez.
20:03As they take in this moment.
20:06And an eventual smile from Gustavo Prato.
20:10And look at that.
20:14As Tapia, over he goes.
20:17To his family.
20:22He's done it again.
20:23He's done it again.

20:42Cuello comes in for the embrace.
20:45As Tapia goes into the box with his family.
20:51And they have done it.
21:01Let's take a look at that match point again.
21:04He leapt off the ground.
21:06And Galan was so close.
21:08He was so close.
21:10But look at that power from Tapia.
21:17The spectacle.
21:19The show that we have witnessed this evening.
21:23There was only one way to finish off the season.
21:26Three sets.
