Tamara Icardo and Claudia Jensen made history on Sunday by claiming the Betclic Bordeaux P2 title, which is their first Premier Padel crown as a pair. They did it in style, producing a superb comeback to overturn the world No.1 pairing of Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea, who faded after a strong start before eventually going down 6-3, 1-6, 1-6. For Icardo, it marks a maiden Premier Padel title, while Jensen maintains a perfect record in finals on the circuit, making it two wins from two appearances. Bordeaux now joins the Argentine’s list of career titles alongside the Acapulco P1 trophy she lifted with Jessica Castelló back in 2024.

In the men’s draw, the ninth Superclásico of the season once again delivered drama, with Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia coming from behind to defeat Alejandro Galán and Fede Chingotto 5-7, 7-6(4), 6-2. The victory secured a fourth consecutive title for the world No.1 pair and their sixth trophy of the 2026 campaign — one more than Chingotto and Galán. Coello and Tapia continue to look untouchable at this stage of the season and now lead this year's head-to-head series 5-4. Overall, across all meetings between the two dominant pairings in world padel, the balance stands at 25-13 in favour of ‘King Arturo’ and the ‘Mozart of Catamarca’.

FIRST-TIME JOY IN BORDEAUX

The women’s final began brightly for Icardo and Jensen, who raced into an early break advantage at 2-0. However, Triay and Brea quickly regained control with two consecutive breaks of their own, swinging momentum back their way as they took the opening set 6-3. The match changed completely after the interval. Triay and Brea gradually lost their grip as Icardo and Jensen raised their level, staying intensely focused and capitalising on a growing number of unforced errors from the top seeds. The result was a dominant 6-1 second set that forced a decider. The third followed a remarkably similar pattern. Icardo and Jensen took control once again and eventually converted their second championship point to seal a memorable 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 victory.

The celebrations that followed said everything. The Spaniard and the Argentine embraced before immediately turning towards the stands to celebrate with their families. After falling at the semi-final stage on three occasions this season, they had finally made their breakthrough count, lifting the trophy at the first final they reached.

Icardo reflected afterwards: “When we saw that last ball hit the net, we looked at our families in the stands and said, ‘Yes, we’ve done it!’” Jensen added: “We’re really happy with this first title because it’s something we’d been chasing for a long time.” She also highlighted “our attitude, the effort we put in and staying focused throughout” as the key factors behind their first victory over the world No.1s after nine previous defeats.

FOUR IN A ROW FOR THE GOLDEN BOYS AS TAPIA STANDS ALONE

The men’s final once again underlined the outstanding form Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia are enjoying. Despite losing the opening set 7-5 to Chingotto and Galán, the ‘Golden Boys’ found another level when it mattered most, edging a fiercely contested second set in a tie-break before taking complete control of the decider. The 5-7, 7-6(4), 6-2 win sealed a fourth straight title and further reinforced their dominance during the current stretch of the season.

“After the defeat in Buenos Aires P1, we were still the same team, but we simply put in even more work,” said Tapia after lifting the trophy. “We kept working every day and now we've managed to win these last four tournaments. We’re in a really good place at the moment.” The victory in Bordeaux also carries additional significance for the Argentine. The ‘Mozart of Catamarca’ now moves clear at the top of the list of active players with the most professional titles, reaching 59 career trophies — one more than Galán. 

Whether Tapia can extend that advantage, or whether the battle will remain open until the closing stages of the season, will become clearer over the coming weeks. The next chapter arrives at Málaga P1, taking place from 13–19 July at the Martín Carpena.
