Spanish player Martina Calvo made history by becoming the youngest professional padel player ever to win a title. At just 18 years old, she claimed the Premier Padel P1 in London alongside her partner Claudia Fernández.

The duo defeated Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay in the women's final with a score of 7-5, 6-3. Calvo expressed her excitement, stating, "I have fulfilled a dream. Now I hope to compete and win many more."

Calvo's victory surpasses the previous record set by Andrea Ustero in 2025. She and Fernández are the fifth different pair to win a tournament on the circuit in 2026.

In the men's category, Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia secured their eighth title of the year, defeating Fede Chingotto and Ale Galán in a three-set match (6-3, 5-7, 7-5). Coello remarked, "The only way to win was to maintain concentration as we did, to celebrate another title and dedicate it to all who have supported us."

The Premier Padel circuit will now take a summer break until late August, with the next tournaments scheduled for Madrid and Paris.
