Beyond Milan: Seville crowns Riera–Bidahorria and Ruiz–Lopez; Contreras wins in Oslo
A Gold title in Spain, a teenage champion in Norway and a final for Brittany Dubins show the breadth of the CUPRA FIP Tour’s closing weeks.
Virginia Riera and Julieta Bidahorria won the FIP Gold Ciudad de Sevilla women's title, and Victor Ruiz and Facundo Lopez claimed the men's championship, on a weekend that also brought a sixth CUPRA FIP Tour title of the season for Argentina's Santino Contreras in Oslo.
The results broaden a week dominated by the Premier Padel finals in Milan. Away from that P1 event, established professionals, developing partnerships and a teenage title winner were competing for trophies and points on the international federation's other professional circuit.
Seville's champions beat the top seeds
Riera and Bidahorria defeated Lucia Sainz and Leti Manquillo 6–2, 6–4 in the women's final, according to FIP's October 18 report.
The Argentine pair added Seville to titles in Nairobi and Houten, following a runner-up finish at the previous week's FIP Silver in Porec. Seville offered 150 FIP Ranking points to the winners.
Ruiz and Lopez, seeded sixth, needed three sets in both matches on the final day. They beat Enrique Goenaga and Guille Collado 7–6, 6–7, 6–4 in the semifinals, then recovered against top seeds Nacho Piotto and Javi Barahona to win the final 4–6, 6–4, 6–3. For Lopez, it was a sixth CUPRA FIP Tour title in 2026 and a second Gold championship, after Shanghai in June.
Contreras adds Oslo; Dubins reaches the women's final
In Norway, 16-year-old Contreras and fellow Argentine Felipe Calleja won the FIP Bronze Interpadel Open Oslo. They beat Jeremy Robert and Yoan Boronad 6–2, 7–6 in the semifinals, followed by a 6–2, 6–4 final victory over Willy Slaryd and Thijs Roper.
FIP's October 19 results report also records a women's title for Portugal's Clarinha Santos and Spain's Lucia Perez. They defeated top seeds Brittany Dubins and Ana Varo 6–2, 0–6, 7–6 in the final.
The American finalist had arrived with five circuit titles this season, according to FIP's tournament preview. Dubins's run provides another competitive reference before the U.S. teams' World Cup trip to Doha; a professional pair's tournament result is separate from national-team selection and pairings.
Why the circuit matters in the season's closing weeks
The CUPRA FIP Tour contributes to the same broader points contest that leads toward Barcelona. In its September explanation of the Race, FIP identified Gold events worth 150 points and Platinum events worth 300 as opportunities alongside Premier Padel's remaining stops.
