The Comunidad de Madrid Premier Padel P1 by Oysho enters its decisive stage at the Movistar Arena: the quarter-finals are played this Friday, September 4, with the semifinals on Saturday and the finals on Sunday 6. From this round the tournament can be followed live on Red Bull TV depending on the country. The men's draw has produced four tasty matchups and already one fallen favourite: Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger were knocked out in the round of 16 by Gonza Alfonso and Tino Libaak 7-6(5), 7-5. These are the rackets the contenders are using in their push for the final.
The No.1s: Tapia with his NOX, Coello with his Head signature line
Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia arrive as top seeds after a ruthless round of 16: 6-0, 6-1 in the round of 32 and a 7-6(2), 6-3 win over Maxi Arce and Juan Tello. Today they face Coki Nieto and Mike Yanguas.
The Argentine stays true to the NOX AT10 Genius 18K, the Luxury Genius line racket with which he has dominated the Race for years: 18K carbon and a build designed for control with real ball exit. His partner, by contrast, is going through his big equipment change: Coello plays the Head Coello Pro 2026, the first model of his signature collection with Head, developed together with the world co-No.1, with its sibling Coello Motion 2026 as the more manoeuvrable alternative.
Galán-Chingotto: the Adidas Metalbone and the Neuron 02
The world No.2 pair are also into the last eight after seeing off Juanlu Esbrí and Sanyo Gutiérrez 6-4, 6-0. Alejandro Galán plays with the Adidas Metalbone 2026, his official racket: a high-balance diamond built for attack, with the Metalbone HRD+ as the more demanding version. Fede Chingotto completes the duo with the Bullpadel Neuron 02 2026, a hybrid racket with an X-Tend Carbon 3K face and around 359 grams, designed for stability and backhand precision.
Their quarter-final is one of the ties of the day: Martín Di Nenno and Paquito Navarro, who arrive off a 6-4, 6-2 win over Barahona-Maxi Sánchez. The Andalusian keeps his Bullpadel Hack 04 2026, the "Dale Candela": high-balance diamond, 18K carbon and one of the most recognisable rackets on the tour thanks to its striking looks. Di Nenno, for the record, has no product card in our catalog.
The surprise: Libaak and Alfonso with the Diablo Pro
The story of the tournament so far belongs to Gonza Alfonso and Tino Libaak, who sent the third seeds Lebrón-Augsburger packing 7-6(5), 7-5 and now play Flavio Abbate and Alonso Rodríguez for a semifinal spot. Argentine Tino Libaak plays with the Siux Diablo Pro 2026, a model designed specifically for him: teardrop shape, 18K TeXtreme carbon with 3D texture and a medium balance that searches for the control-power versatility behind his best tournament to date.
The fallen also leave a story
Wednesday's round of 16 also took down several other big names besides Lebrón. Franco Stupaczuk and Jon Sanz, the tour's new pairing, said goodbye against José Jiménez and Álex Arroyo (7-6(5), 6-4): the Argentine keeps using his Siux Electra Pro IT 26 and the Navarrese the Drop Shot Axion Attack 2.0. Also out: Sanyo Gutiérrez (with Esbrí, against Galán-Chingotto) and Juan Tello (with Arce, against Coello-Tapia), who plays the Bullpadel Vertex 05.
The Movistar Arena has everything in place for a memorable padel weekend. The rackets are already on court: it remains to be seen who lifts the title in front of their home crowd.
