Brea played a key role in one of the weekend's biggest comebacks, helping overturn a first-set defeat to González and Josemaría and secure the sixth title of the season with Triay.

Triay combined with Brea to produce another strong run through the women's draw before delivering when it mattered most in the final. Their sixth title of the season reinforced the pair's position at the top of the competition, while the victory had added significance after they won in front of family and their team.

Alejandro Galán

Galán produced the headline performance of the men's draw by winning the Madrid P1 on home soil alongside Chingotto. The 30-year-old recovered from a difficult semi-final and then helped his team-mate come through another three-set battle in the final to claim his seventh title of 2026.

Madrid marked an important return to action after the 2026 summer break, with both finals providing reminders of how quickly momentum can shift at the top of the Premier Padel game.
Brea and Triay showed their ability to respond under pressure after losing the opening set and secured their sixth title of the season. González and Josemaría, meanwhile, were unable to reproduce the winning form that had carried them to five consecutive titles earlier in the campaign.
The men's draw was reshaped by Coello and Tapia's quarter-final exit, opening the door for Galán and Chingotto to build momentum. They took advantage with a semi-final comeback and a home victory against Nieto and Yanguas.
With the players now heading directly into the Paris Major from September 6-13, Madrid has set up another significant stage in an exciting 2026 season.
