Augsburger and Di Nenno make history with Madrid Premier Padel title

Leo Augsburger and Martín Di Nenno beat world No. 1 Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 at Movistar Arena in Madrid to win the fourth Comunidad de Madrid Premier Padel P1 and become the first pair in Premier Padel history to beat the world’s top three duos in one tournament.

The men’s champions entered the week as the world No. 7 pair, but Madrid ended with a breakthrough that changes the way the top of the draw will be read. It was Augsburger’s first Premier Padel title and Di Nenno’s second crown, and Red Bull’s event coverage framed it as their first trophy together. After dropping the opening set, they leaned on Di Nenno’s steadiness and Augsburger’s power to flip the match and close out the two favorites from the top seed line.

The women’s final delivered a similar shift in tone. Bea González and Claudia Fernández, the world No. 3 pair, defeated the newly crowned world No. 1s Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 after more than two and a half hours, completing what Premier Padel described as a treble. Their head-to-head against Triay and Brea moved to 4-2 in González and Fernández’s favor, a telling detail in a final that turned after the Spaniards absorbed the first-set loss and then controlled the middle stretch with sharper timing and fewer openings for the new No. 1 team.

The set patterns in both finals showed why Madrid mattered beyond one trophy. Di Nenno and Augsburger were forced to solve a world No. 1 pair that has made pressure tennis look routine, yet they responded by holding their level in the long exchanges and finding more decisive finishing power as the match wore on. Against Coello and Tapia, the comeback was not just about shotmaking, but about the calmer pair surviving the first surge and then taking over when the tempo rose.

For González and Fernández, the final reinforced a different kind of threat. Their treble is no longer built only on promise, but on repeatable answers in high-stakes matches, especially against a pair that arrived in Madrid with the No. 1 ranking. In the Spanish capital, Premier Padel got a clean hierarchy shift in both draws: the established leaders were beaten, the challengers proved durable, and the next round of rival game-planning now has to start with Madrid’s new benchmarks.
