South American Grand Finale

Three stories from Buenos Aires P1
Galán / Chingotto get back-to-back
A week after their 6-3 7-5 win in Asunción, the #2 seeds went through Tapia/Coello again — this time on Tapia's home crowd at Parque Roca. Two wins over the world #1 pair in seven days, €41,000 banked per player across the swing, and the 2026 Race for #1 lead extended.
Galán career earnings →Paula / Bea: five titles in a row
Miami P1 → Newgiza P2 → Brussels P2 → Asunción P2 → Buenos Aires P1. Paula Josemaría and Beatriz González have not lost a final since they paired up — beating Triay/Brea on Sunday for their fifth straight title. No women's pair has dominated 2026 like this.
Paula career earnings →Same tournament, 53% pay difference
Chingotto and Galán earned €26,000 each for winning. Paula and Bea earned €17,000 each — for winning the same tournament, on the same weekend, on the same courts. Premier Padel only pays equally at Majors and Finals Barcelona. At every P1 and P2, the gap holds.
