The end of the most emblematic tournament of the season, the end of Roland Garros. The Philippe Chatrier brought the curtain down on Sunday as the best pairings on the planet battled it out to win the Paris Major.
There’s no one like them, like the number 1’s
Groundhog Day repeated itself once again. With the summer break we had stopped seeing a duel between the number one and number two pairings in the ranking, but today Paris was the scene of a new chapter of that rivalry. A chapter, however, that confirms that the gap is widening.
The analysis is as obvious as it is blunt: it’ s not enough for them. There is no pair that can come close to Tapia and Coello. The odd player can make them uncomfortable, but as a duo they are unrivalled. Moreover, Chingotto’s style of play, which used to be able to put Coello in trouble on the cross, nowadays barely tickles him.

Ale Galan and Fede Chingotto signed one of their weakest matches in a long time. Impatient, rushed and overwhelmed by the context, they ended up being devoured by the best pairing in the world. Not even Jorge Martinez from the bench was able to find solutions.
The scoreboard says it all: 6-1 and 6-4 for Coello and Tapia to win their third Paris Major in a row. An assured legacy for a long time to come.
Gemma and Delfi in number one mode
From one number one to another. The Paris Major was tinged with the supremacy of the ranking leaders in both the men’s and women’s categories.
Gemma Triay and Delfina Brea, who had just lost in the final of the Madrid P1, didn’t give Marta Ortega and Tamara Icardo a chance on this occasion. They were simply superior from start to finish, showing an uncontestable version that extends their lead over Ari Sanchez and Paula Josemaria in the RACE.

The win came with a 7-5 and 6-2 that perfectly reflects the authority with which they dominated. And the most impressive thing: this season they have already conquered the three Majors played in Doha, Rome and Paris. The only thing left to do is Mexico to complete a full house and sign off an immaculate campaign.
