Miami P1 2026 revisited: two finals that went the distance

The 2026 Miami Premier Padel P1 finished with both championship matches reaching a third set. This retrospective revisits the March 29 finals at the Miami Beach Convention Center, using the International Padel Federation's official reports rather than presenting the result as breaking news.

The women's comeback

Paula Josemaría and Bea González beat Delfina Brea and Gemma Triay 6–3, 4–6, 7–5 to collect their first Premier Padel title as a partnership. They recovered from 5–3 down in the deciding set, winning four straight games. The match lasted two hours and 57 minutes, according to FIP's March 30 account.

Their route to the trophy had already required another three-set recovery. In the semifinals, they defeated Ari Sánchez and Andrea Ustero 4–6, 6–4, 6–4, as recorded in FIP's semifinal report.

Chingotto and Galán defend their title

Federico Chingotto and Alejandro Galán defeated Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia 7–5, 3–6, 6–3. FIP recorded a one-hour, 51-minute final and a second consecutive Miami title for the winning pair. Both championship-winning teams were seeded No. 2.

Why revisit the U.S. stop?

Miami gives American followers a domestic reference point for an international tour. Looking back at the tournament also shows why a final score needs context: a lost opening set in a semifinal and a late deficit in a final can sit inside the same title-winning week. Neither situation alone predicts the outcome.

The official order of play scheduled the women's final first on March 29, followed by the men's final. That document helps distinguish the day the matches were played from March 30, when FIP published its final report.

For readers catching up on the season, these are the Miami results to retain. They establish what happened at this event; they are not a statement about the current rankings or the eventual season champions.
