Paris Major 2026: Coello and Tapia complete the four-peat as Sánchez-Ustero lift their first Major

Court Philippe Chatrier closed the Alpine Paris Major on Sunday with two finals for the history books: Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia claimed their fourth consecutive title at Roland-Garros after coming back from 5-2 down in the third set against Galán-Chingotto (6-3, 4-6, 7-6), and Ari Sánchez and Andrea Ustero lifted their first Major as a pair with an exhibition against Calvo-Fernández (6-2, 6-0) in just 71 minutes. The tournament also set an all-time attendance record: 81,000 spectators over the week.

Coello-Tapia: a four-peat and a No.1 comeback

The men's final was the third straight Superclásico in Paris and the fortieth between the two pairs. Coello and Tapia took the first set with the only break of the game (6-3), but Galán-Chingotto stepped up, broke the No.1s' serve for the first time and pushed the match to a decider (6-4). It was the first time they had won a set against Coello-Tapia on Chatrier.

The third set was a different match: a 3-0 run and a 5-2 lead with Chingotto dominating the crosscourt battle against Coello. Serving for the title at 5-3, they couldn't close it out. The No.1s dug deep, forced the tie-break and delivered the knockout blow there: 7-6(1).

With the title, Tapia remains unbeaten in Paris, collects his ninth trophy of the season alongside Coello — their second Major of the year — and the 2,000 points strengthen their lead in the FIP Race. It is also the Golden Boys' twenty-seventh win over Chingalán, their sixth in a row.

Sánchez-Ustero: the Rome bill, paid in Paris

The women's final began with the retractable roof closed due to rain, and that turned the court into a playground for Ari Sánchez. On the slower surface the Catalan dictated the tempo at will while Ustero ran wild in the aerial game: a 6-2 without conceding a single break point and a demolition 6-0 to wrap it up in 1h11.

It was the youngest final in Major history (a combined 86 years across the four players) and the revenge for Rome, where Sánchez and Ustero had lost the Italy Major final to the world No.1s. They now count three titles this season (Riyadh, Valencia and Paris) and Ari raises her third Paris Major out of the four editions played. Calvo-Fernández, who had arrived after eliminating Triay-Brea for the third time in a row, fell at the last hurdle but confirmed they are the future.
