Day 6. Lebron-Stupa dream of a first-time title

A new pair against the number 1 in the FIP ranking: will it be the ‘usual’ Coello-Tapia to win the first title of the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour 2025, or will there be space in the roll of honour for a pair playing their first tournament together? The verdict, at the Riyadh Season P1, has been postponed until Monday, after Sunday’s schedule was also first slowed then postponed by rain. The semi-finals, however, were played, and they were spectacular. In the men’s draw, the quality of Juan Lebron and Franco Stupaczuk was greater than that of Pablo Cardona and Leo Augsburger, who showed during this Arab week that they have the qualities to play against the best: Lebron and Stupa, victorious 4-6 6-3 7-5, will face Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia, who gave up only five games (6-3 6-2) to Coki Nieto and Mike Yanguas.

WOMEN The women’s final, on the other hand, will not be played, as Bea Gonzalez had a physical problem that didn’t allow her from taking the court with Claudia Fernandez against Ari Sanchez and Paula Josemaria, who thus won their first title of the season. Bea and Claudia, in the longest match of the day, had overcome Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay in three hours and 2′ with a score of 4-6 6-3 6-4. Josemaria/Sanchez, on the other hand, with 6-0 7-5 to Marta Ortega and Sofia Araujo had shown that they were already in good feeling.
