The “Last Dance” in Barcelona: Premier Padel Finals 2025 Wrap-Up

The 2025 Premier Padel season came to a spectacular close this past week in Barcelona, with the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour Finals delivering drama, emotion, and “padel masterpieces” at the iconic Palau Sant Jordi. The top eight pairs in the world descended on the Catalan capital for one final showdown, and the results did not disappoint.

Here is your full recap of the action-packed week in Barcelona.

Women’s Final: Emotion and Resilience

The women’s final was a testament to mental fortitude. The No. 3 seeds, Bea González and Claudia Fernández, claimed their sixth title of the season in a thrilling three-set battle against the world No. 1s, Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea.

The match was a rollercoaster, ending 6-4, 0-6, 6-3. After taking the first set, González and Fernández were blown away in the second, losing 6-0. However, they regrouped in the decider to seal the victory.

The win was particularly poignant for Bea González, who played the tournament just days after the passing of her grandfather, Chuzo. In an emotional post-match interview, she dedicated the title to him, capping off a challenging week with the biggest trophy of her career. The victory also solidified their status as the breakout pair of 2025.

Champions: Bea González & Claudia Fernández

Men’s Final: A “Clásico” for the History Books

In the men’s draw, the script could not have been written better. The two best pairs in the world, Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello (No. 1s) faced off against their arch-rivals, Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto (No. 2s), for the 14th time this season.

Dubbed a “padel masterpiece,” the final lived up to the hype, lasting nearly three hours. Tapia and Coello emerged victorious with a razor-thin scoreline of 6-7, 6-3, 7-6.

The match was decided by the finest of margins, with the “Mozart of Catamarca” (Tapia) stepping up in the decisive third-set tie-break. For Arturo Coello, this victory was especially sweet as it was the only major title missing from his illustrious cabinet, finally closing the circle on a dominant 2025 season.
