The 2024 Milan P1 (officially 2024 Milano Premier Padel P1) was the twenty-third tournament of the third season organized by Premier Padel, promoted by the International Padel Federation, and with the financial backing of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi's Qatar Sports Investments, now serving as the premier padel circuit.
In the women's category, the FIP's second and third-ranked pairs met in the finals for the fourth time this season. Despite winning the first set and the match heading toward a third, Bea González and Delfina Brea were forced to retire due to an injury sustained by González, handing Claudia Fernández and Gemma Triay their second consecutive title and their sixth of 2024.[1]
In the men's category, Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto improved their performance from the previous two tournaments to reach the finals, where they faced the number 1 seeds Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello in a final for the 14th time. Coello and Tapia defeated the number 2 seeds and claimed their thirteenth title of the season.[2]
Relevant Data
Ari/Paula and Bea González absent from Milan
Having already secured the number 1 ranking, Ariana Sánchez and Paula Josemaría, the world number ones decided to take a break and sit out the Italy P1 due to an issue with Paula Josemaría's right knee, opting to rest and ensure she is in top shape for the season's final tournament, the Premier Padel Finals.[3]
The number ones absence altered the entire draw and potential matchups in the final rounds, with Bea González and Delfina Brea entering as the number 2 seeds, meaning they could no longer face Fernández and Gemma Triay in a potential semifinal.[3]
After withdrawing from the Milano P1 final, Bea González announced she would will miss the Premier Padel Finals due to a pectoral injury. With Bea's injury, Tamara Icardo who had finished 17th in the Race rankings following the Milan tournament, would make her the first finals appearance.[4]
By missing the last tournament, this would mark Bea and Delfina last game as a pair, as the Argentine would embark on a new project for 2025.[4]
Sanyo out of the Premier Padel Finals
With his loss against Pablo Cardona and Paquito Navarro in the round of 16, for the first time in his career, Sanyo Gutiérrez would not be qualified for the season-ending tournament. The victory would also give Cardona a spot in the last tournament, held in Barcelona.[5]
Belasteguín last match
The Round of 16 match against Javi Garrido and Lucas Bergamini would be the last of Fernando Belasteguín's illustrious career. Belasteguín retired holding several records, including the longest reign as world number one with 16 consecutive years and the most titles in the history of the World Padel Tour (WPT). Throughout his career, he won 260 titles.[6][7]
The number ones win another title
By defeating Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto in the finals, Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello claimed their ninth consecutive title, and fourteenth overall, marking a season with just six losses in 99 matches. Following the summer break, Coello and Tapia won nine straight tournaments (seven of them against the number two pair) and amassed a 45-match winning streak.
In total, the year's top-ranked pair won 14 of the 20 Premier Padel tournaments they entered, missing the final only in Seville, and finishing the season with a record of 93 wins out of 99 matches. This marks their second season as the sport's best, with only three pairs having dominated for longer: Juan Martín Díaz and Fernando Belasteguín (13 seasons), Fernando Belasteguín and Pablo Lima (three), and Alejandro Galán and Juan Lebrón (three).[8]
