Martina Calvo
Calvo produced the defining performance of the women’s tournament, winning the title just one month after turning 18 and becoming the youngest ever Premier Padel champion. Her partnership with Fernández proved too strong for the women’s top seeds in the final.
Claudia Fernández
The 20-year-old continued her excellent run alongside Calvo, with the pair reaching the final after dropping only 10 games on their way to the semi-finals. They then defeated second seeds Bea González and Paula Josemaría Martín 6-2, 6-4 to reach their second consecutive final after Pretoria.
Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia
The men’s top seeds adapted brilliantly to the slower Olympia courts, reaching the final without dropping a set. They then showed their resilience against Galán and Chingotto to win their eighth title of 2026.
Alejandro Galán and Fede Chingotto
The second-seeded pair recovered from an early scare against unseeded Italians Flavio Abbate and Álvaro Montiel to reach the final, defeating Juan Lebrón and Leandro Augsburger in a tough semi-final. They pushed Coello and Tapia all the way in the final, levelling the match before narrowly losing the deciding set.

London added another memorable chapter to the 2026 Premier Padel season, with the sport’s first UK event bringing the world’s best players to Kensington Olympia. The slower courts tested the players’ ability to adapt, particularly in the women’s draw, where Triay and Brea were pushed to three sets in both the Round of 16 and quarter-finals.
For Fernández and Calvo, the result represents a major breakthrough as a partnership, following their run to the final in Pretoria the previous week. For Coello and Tapia, another title underlines their continued strength at the top of the men’s game.
The players now have a well-earned summer break before Premier Padel returns in Madrid. The Madrid P1 takes place from August 29 to September 6, giving fans another chance to see the world’s best players back in action.
