In a surprising twist, Ale Galan and Federico Chingotto clinched the title at the Santiago P1 padel tournament without competing in the final match. Their victory came after their opponents, Franco Stupaczuk and Juan Lebron, withdrew due to health concerns, as Stupaczuk was deemed unwell to play by the tournament’s medical team due to a fever.

Galan and Chingotto demonstrated remarkable skill throughout the competition, earning their spot in the final with a strong 7-6, 6-2 semifinal win against Coki Nieto and Mike Yanguas. Their consistent strategy and impressive performances reinforced their standing as top contenders in the padel arena.

This win adds to their recent triumph in Miami, highlighting their dominance and resilience in the sport, even under unusual circumstances. The Santiago P1 event will be remembered for its intense matches and the unexpected outcome that crowned Galan and Chingotto as champions. Fans are eager to see their continued success in upcoming tournaments.
