00:00That is just a great sign of how far ahead of the rest, maybe, these two pairs are right now.
00:10I might go as far as saying that Chingotongalán are the favorites heading into this final,
00:15even though in the last season with Goyal Tapia winning the last three in a row.
00:21I think with what we've seen this week, both from Chingotongalán and from Goyal Tapia.
00:30And also, because of the number ones, because of the Golden Boys, because of the King and the Roser.
00:36Because of Arturo Goyal and Agustin Tapia.
00:40What up here?
00:44Marking an era.
00:46They are young players, Nico, but it feels like they are already a big part of the story.
00:51These three of the four.
00:53Yeah, they are still very young players.
00:56Take your seat quickly, please.
00:58Hey, amigo, sit down.
01:00Come on.
01:00Play your side.
01:05Play.
01:12No contra-pare from Arturo Coelho.
01:14He was scared on the chancletazo from Ali Galán.
01:21Clever there from Galán.
01:35That's a smash we were mentioning from Fede Chingot, but he was blocked by Tapia.
01:45What a finish.
01:47Beautiful from Arturo Coelho.
01:49Almost.
01:50Fede Chingot got back in time.
01:52The moment you see Arturo Coelho covering the medal with his forehand, it's game over.
02:02They make it look so ordinary these days, players, when they block smashes into a perfect Chiquita as well.
02:08Hold.
02:16Long from Arturo Coelho.
02:18Even if Fede Chingot is not technically a big threat, Arturo Coelho is going to try to go early rounds,
02:24just analyzing each other here and there, but not risking too much.
02:32That's better from Galán, that went high, that went very high from Alejandro Galantico.
02:3815-0.
02:39Yeah, it'd have to be about 30 feet tall to get to that one.
02:44Galán making absolutely sure.
02:56Arturo, once again, looking for that push, exactly what Prato was mentioning, to abandon the corner the moment they can,
03:04to accept the volley exchange, even if it doesn't work every time.
03:1440-15.
03:1640-15.
03:18What a lot of pace.
03:40Not lobbing.
03:42Here it comes, the contrapared, that's easy for Alejandro.
03:45Oh, the alien Galantico, using the speed of the contrapared, making it fly.
03:50Chingot Galant lead the three games to two.
03:53Going to LigaLand.
04:07That transition ball to me, and absolutely running to the net.
04:12As big as he is, and as intimidating as he is, I think my shorts would change color there.
04:18I have to agree with that.
04:19Very scary.
04:21Chingot, second chance.
04:24Second chance is always a good one.
04:26First Chingot, going Galant mode.
04:30He's at Fidi Rale.
04:39We're going to see a lot more from this.
04:42A lot more power from Fidi Chingot this new season.
04:48Yeah, we even heard him say that.
04:51I think it was in the quarterfinals during a changeover.
04:55Chingot saying that's the mission for this year.
05:01He said, not always, because his coach is about to say that too, but in general, for him to smash
05:08more.
05:11They need it.
05:12That's a big difference between Coyo Tapia and Chingot.
05:14All the power they have on the right side, the number ones.
05:18Chingot basically don't.
05:22Chingot offers you different stuff.
05:27And she moves now to the back-hand corner.
05:39Chingot getting a lucky break, clipping the tape.
05:43And it was important, because it was a 15-30.
05:46And they were switching sides.
05:4830-0.
06:00Chingot is one of the players that, whenever they have to move,
06:05is going to take the first El Clásico of the season.
06:11The number 30 of all time.
06:16Chingot moving Coyo, Tapia goes back.
06:18Galán is going to go for the fake smash.
06:23Not going to fake this time.
06:24He's getting the portres, and Tapia finds an insane angle.
06:30Tapia finds an insane angle.
06:32He plays the ball between the fence and the net post.
06:36Red Bull out of the court moment.
06:38Courtesy of the one and only.
06:39I will see Tapia.
06:40Please do not use the flash for your photo or video.
06:41Thank you, thank you.
06:42Tapia knew that any salida won't do.
06:45He almost sort of pushes that into the net,
06:48so it didn't have any rebound for Fede Chingoto.
06:55Versailles.
07:12Arturo Coelho once again suffering with that forehand volley from Fede Chingoto.
07:1640-30.
07:17Unable to read it.
07:27A chance to put a lot of pressure on Coelho Tapia in the next serving game.
07:32Knowing that a break is going to give Chingo and Ale not only the game, but also the set.
07:39Oh, Tapia.
07:39No, no, no, no, no, Tapia.
07:41What was that forehand from Agustin Tapia?
07:44He's on one.
07:46You explain it, Nico.
07:48You explain it.
07:49Look at that.
07:50Agustin Tapia is on one.
07:51That's all I can say right now.
07:53This is when he's in one of those moments taking responsibility.
08:01Break point, Tapia, Coelho Tapia to the corner.
08:04Coelho in the middle.
08:05Coelho in the middle.
08:07And there's the break for the Golden Boys.
08:105-4.
08:11Arturo Coelho and Agustin Tapia.
08:13New ball space.
08:14They only needed one game.
08:16They have it, and they will be serving for the set.
08:21Come on.
08:21Come on.
08:25Come on.
08:25Come on.
08:26Come on.
08:27Come on.
08:27Come on.
08:28Come on.
08:28Come on.
08:29Come on.
08:29I don't know if I can't break it all.
08:32In the defense, I don't need it.
08:34And we will see, finally, Fede Chingot and Agustin Tapia are able to take away the number one from Coyotapia.
08:42No way.
08:43Not from Agustin Tapia.
08:44The Molinete.
08:50And then, after making the corner shot, you go and you miss the easiest.
09:07Can't let it go.
09:09Bye.
09:10Bye.
09:11Bye.
09:12Bye.
09:13Two games to love.
09:13Two games to love.
09:14Jorge Martinez trying to get something to think to execute a plan because now it's a thunderstorm.
09:23Ball, please.
09:24Thank you, ball boy.
09:26Yeah, they have to snap out of this as soon as possible.
09:30Clearly, right now, they are in a rough patch, having lost the last four games in a row.
09:36Alejandro Galantuzo.
09:39They are good.
09:41I mean, they are good for a comeback here.
09:45Absolutely, but it needs to come right now.
09:47They cannot afford another break.
09:52Lean on their fundamentals.
09:56I hope that Fede Chingot as well can be a little bit more effective.
10:06Wow, Tapia is fast.
10:18Do something, Tapia.
10:20Do something, Tapia.
10:22There it is.
10:23A Tapia moment of the second set.
10:25Do something, because I know you can, because you're special, because you're unique.
10:31Also, look at the way he cocks back his arm here.
10:35I mean, that's like he had a bullet in there.
10:41Paddle ability and raw talents.
10:44They, if they can mix and match well, if they can basically help each other grow,
10:52as we see the Tapias here, they can challenge for number one.
10:57But for me, their biggest obstacle will be basically themselves,
11:01and to keep their heads when they're down, to not have a go at each other,
11:05and to show the same kind of chemistry that Chingot and Tapia show in the good moments,
11:11but mainly in the bad moments as well.
11:14Speaking of Chingalan, an energy, an attitude.
11:19This is something from Galán.
11:21He gets a por cuatro in the 15-30.
11:24The difference between Chingalan and Coyo Tapia is only a break.
11:34La toco solo.
11:35I only touched it.
11:36I just touched it, Galán says.
11:38And it flew forever.
11:4030-0.
11:48But.
12:04Tapia is going to let it bounce.
12:06Play-Doh bajado de pared.
12:08Locked by Ali Galán.
12:10Chingo in his smash, but Arturo is always there.
12:13You need more than that to beat King Arthur.
12:16Arturo, Arturo, Arturo Coelho.
12:1840-30.
12:1940-30.
12:21Tapia had the salida covered.
12:25Goya had the inside covered.
12:27They're trusting in Chingotto's smash,
12:30but it's not there with him today.
12:43Chingotto puts it to sleep.
12:45Chingotto puts it to sleep.
12:47The final is alive.
12:48Break point for Chingalan.
12:53Fair play for Arturo Coelho, even getting to the first one.
12:58Chingotto kept his head, kept his cool, and applies the finish.
13:02Is this the moment where this entire final is flipped on its head.
13:14It feels like they've really improved here.
13:17And with second serve, Nico, which is even better.
13:21It's got to be a lob to tapia, I would think.
13:24It keeps it down low.
13:28To get the transition.
13:31To play the side wall booster.
13:42Can they convert the break point?
13:44Switching sides.
13:45The bomb from Arturo Coelho says no.
13:47That backcada is something different.
13:52I was going to say.
13:53That was genuinely the best lob that Chingotto could play.
13:58It was perfect.
13:59Absolutely perfect.
14:01And still, Coelho on the backhand.
14:08Tapia into the hands corner.
14:11Now to the fence.
14:12Tapia will brush it hard.
14:14Agustin, Agustin, Agustin.
14:16Agustin, Tapia for you.
14:19The MVP of the match.
14:20Agustin, Tapia giving the number ones a match point.
14:26Pure technique.
14:28Just pure, pure technique.
14:29Just pure, pure technique, Tapia.
14:33Tournament point for Tapia and Coelho.
14:42That is long from Fedechingotto in each game, set and match for Agustin, Tapia and Arturo Coelho.
14:48Six, four, six, four.
14:49Six, four, six, four.
14:50New season.
14:51Nothing changes.
14:53The sport belongs to Arturo Coelho and Agustin Tapia.
14:56The number ones for a reason.
14:58And just like a year ago, they conquered Saudi Arabia.
15:03One of the most one-sided finals we've seen for a while.
15:08I mean, even in some of the previous finals that Coelho and Tapia have won in straight sets,
15:12they had to really work for it every single time.
15:16Of course, with Barcelona, it took a long, long time as well for them to win.
15:20But this, for me, is the most one-sided final between Coelho and Tapia and Chinggalan.
15:27And we've seen an over half a year.
15:30And then Coelho and Tapia rising to the occasion as pure champions do.
15:35What a performance of this man again, Agustin Tapia.
15:38It took him a while to get going, but once he did, nobody could stop him.
15:42So you agree with me, Nico, MVP, Agustin Tapia?
15:45I would say so.
15:46I mean, Coelho has shown us some huge stuff as well in the transition area, in that backcourt,
15:54with the way he can love and live in that transition zone.
16:00And he sets up Tapia.
16:01That much is true.
16:02But I think the determining factor today was Agustin Tapia.
16:07The whole week playing.
16:09Really good paddle.
16:11Close to perfect.
16:12Fedechingol to Anahigalan going through every single bonus like it was a walk in the park.
16:16On the other hand, Arturo Coelho and Agustin Tapia suffering, losing a set to Ling.
16:21Dylan Guillarra and Bastien Blanque saving a couple set points in the second set with Lucas Campagnolo and Jairo Bautista.
16:28Yesterday playing for more than two hours to beat LeBurger.
16:34And you would think, okay, this is the moment for Fedechingol to Anahigalan.
16:37This is going to be the chance for Chinggalan to start up in the rankings in the new season.
16:42But when things are like this, when you play a final, and when you have Tapia in this level and
16:51Arturo Coelho following him,
16:53it doesn't matter what happened in the early rounds of the tournament.
16:57It doesn't really matter.
16:58Coelho and Tapia always win.
17:02And this is also an icon message for the rest of the season.
17:06At the end of 2025, we thought, okay, Chinggalan have actually a chance to become the new number ones.
17:12You go to a new one, points go back to zero.
17:16First event, first win for these two.
17:20It really does send a big old message to the rest of the tour, not just to Chinggalan.
17:25I mean, they got through probably the two pairs that most people think will challenge the most.
17:31First LeBronauts Goynger, then Chinggalan.
17:33And in outdoor conditions as well, which you rightly pointed out, Gomsu, tends to favor Chinggalan and Enale.
17:43Something changed at 4-4 in the first set.
17:47They got into a different mindset almost, started playing differently mentally more than anything else.
17:55I mean, these two are just sheer mentality monsters.
17:58It's incredible how they can pick themselves up from one moment to the next.
18:03You just never think that they're out in any match they're playing.
18:07A big hug between Coelho and Tapia's father.
18:11All the team, there's a lot of people behind the success from Arturo Coelho and Agustin Tapia.
18:18And this is the moment where all the effort you put during the preseason pays off.
18:24Arturo Coelho and Agustin Tapia, the number ones.
18:29Defender Championship here for the Riyadh Season P1.
18:33In a few moments, we'll have the Trophy Ceremony Award.
18:37Of course, the numbers, of course, the interview from Agustin Tapia and Arturo Coelho.
18:41But Nico, before we say goodbye, before we go through all of this, it was a real pleasure.
18:46This is something new that we have in Premier Palo, adding a new voice for the finals.
18:51And it was very fun.
18:53Pleasure is all my goals.
18:54I've got a privilege of being with you on the call for this.
18:58I hope the people enjoyed it as much as we did.
19:00I had a great time being with you.
19:02Hopefully we can do this again.
19:04Not only Coelho and Tapia won today, but also Ariana Sanchez and Andrea Austero.
19:10That was also very exciting.
19:14It's going to be a fun season.
19:16And now it's going to be the time for a couple weeks to rest, to recover.
19:21And then we're going to see you back in Gijón for a P2.
19:26Which is going to be the first event in Spain.
19:29Then Cancún, then Miami, and then...
19:31Welcome back onto the court to Gemma, Triay, and Delfina, Brea.
19:51Congratulations to Gemma and Delfina.
19:54An incredible tournament, and a performance to be proud of.
20:06Once again, Riyadh, give them a big round of applause for our women's finalists.
20:15Concord to Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto.
20:38Congratulations, Ale.
20:40Congratulations, Fede.
20:41A fantastic display of skills and competitiveness.
20:45Congratulations, really well done.
20:54Premier Paddle B1 Women's Champions.
20:58Arianna Sánchez and Andrea Austero.
21:28Congratulations, Ari.
21:30Congratulations, Andrea, on an outstanding victory and their first championship as a pair.
21:45I'm going to invite the authorities to have a nice picture of this amazing tournament
21:54with all of this color.
22:14Thank you to the authorities.
22:16Thank you so much.
22:18And once again.
