Two commanding finals, one historic double, and a 56.9-point performance that topped the entire tournament
Rotterdam handed out its P2 crown on Sunday and it did so with zero drama on the scoreboards — both finals were straight-sets affairs — but that doesn't mean there wasn't a story worth telling. Agustin Tapia and Arturo Coello bulldozed Franco Stupaczuk and Jon Sanz 6-3, 6-2 to claim the men's title, while Ariana Sanchez Fallada and Andrea Ustero Prieto were just as ruthless against Paula Josemaria Martin and Beatriz Gonzalez Fernandez in a 6-4, 6-4 women's final. And if you had Ustero Prieto in your squad this week? You're smiling — she finished the tournament as the single highest fantasy scorer of the entire round with a jaw-dropping 56.9 FP.
Let's not dress it up — the men's final was a statement. Tapia and Coello didn't just win, they dismantled Stupaczuk and Sanz in 44 minutes of what felt like a masterclass in controlled aggression. A 6-3, 6-2 scoreline at a P2 final tells you everything: this was not a contest, it was a coronation.
For fantasy managers, both Tapia and Coello landed exactly 36.4 FP each — solid, clean returns for a final win. The interesting thing is that despite the dominance on court, the difficulty coefficient actually held their scores back a little (more on that in the scoring spotlight below). Stupaczuk and Sanz, on the other hand, were brutal to hold — both ended in negative territory, -2.5 and -2.4 respectively. A final-round loss at a P2 still carries weight in the formula, but when you're bageled in sets like that, the game score penalty bites hard. If you were riding Stupa this week hoping for a late surge, Rotterdam wasn't your tournament.
| # | Player | FP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Agustin Tapia | 36.4 |
| 2 | Arturo Coello | 36.4 |
| 3 | Jon Sanz | -2.4 |
| 4 | Franco Stupaczuk | -2.5 |
The women's final told a very similar story on the scoreboard, but the fantasy numbers were in a completely different stratosphere. Sanchez Fallada and Ustero Prieto were composed, clinical, and efficient against Josemaria Martin and Gonzalez Fernandez — a 6-4, 6-4 win that never really looked in doubt from the third game of the first set onward.
What makes this women's final so fascinating from a fantasy perspective is the sheer scale of the scoring. Ustero Prieto's 56.9 FP and Sanchez Fallada's 50.8 FP dwarf the men's winners' 36.4 FP, and that gap is no accident — it comes down to ranking multipliers and difficulty coefficients working differently across the two draws. Meanwhile, Josemaria Martin and Gonzalez Fernandez finished with 7.1 and 7.4 FP respectively. They still picked up positive points — a final appearance at P2 level is worth something — but those are thin margins when your managers were counting on them to go all the way.
| # | Player | FP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Andrea Ustero Prieto | 56.9 |
| 2 | Ariana Sanchez Fallada | 50.8 |
| 3 | Beatriz Gonzalez Fernandez | 7.4 |
| 4 | Paula Josemaria Martin | 7.1 |
The clearest trend from Rotterdam's final day is a familiar one: the women's draw delivered the big fantasy returns, and by some distance. The top four scorers of the round were all from the women's final, with Ustero Prieto and Sanchez Fallada combining for over 107 FP between them. Compare that to Tapia and Coello's combined 72.8 FP and you start to appreciate why savvy managers who loaded up on the women's finalists are sitting very pretty on the tournament leaderboard right now.
The negative scores for Stupaczuk (-2.5) and Sanz (-2.4) are also worth flagging as a cautionary tale. In the final, the round base is at its highest — 40 points — but take a heavy loss, and the formula keeps only 40% of that base before the penalties kick in. When you're losing 6-3, 6-2, that game score deduction is severe. It's the risk of investing in a finalist who doesn't deliver: the stage is big, but so is the fall.
Let's break down exactly how Ustero Prieto hit 56.9 FP, because it's a masterclass in how the formula rewards the right player in the right spot. It all starts with the round base — Finals carry a base of 40 points, the highest in the tournament. Win the final, and you add +4, taking you to 44. Then her dominant display on court added a game score bonus of 5.2 (a 6-4, 6-4 win is clean but not a bagel, so it's a measured boost), plus a stats bonus of 6 for her serve and return work — subtotal: 55.2. That then gets multiplied by her ranking multiplier of 0.92, which nudges it down slightly to 50.8 because top players are expected to win and the system doesn't hand out free points. But here's the kicker: her difficulty coefficient came in at 1.12 — the opponents were ranked higher relative to her than you'd expect for a final, so beating them scaled her score UP, landing her at exactly 56.9 FP. That's the system working as intended.
Now compare that to Tapia's 36.4 FP. Same round base of 40, same +4 win bonus, but a much bigger game score boost of 13 (the 6-3, 6-2 demolition job rewarded dominant scorelines) and a stats bonus of 6 gives a subtotal of 63 — actually higher than Ustero Prieto's before multipliers. Then Tapia's ranking multiplier of 0.85 kicks in — he's one of the most elite players in the world, and the system penalises favourites winning as expected — bringing it to 53.6. And then the difficulty coefficient of 0.68 does the real work: Stupaczuk and Sanz, despite being finalists, are ranked close enough to Tapia and Coello that beating them isn't considered a huge upset. Result? 36.4 FP. So Tapia won more convincingly on court, but Ustero Prieto scored higher in fantasy — because her multipliers worked in her favour, and his worked against him. That's the whole game right there.
📊 Chase multiplier-friendly picks — Ustero Prieto's 56.9 FP win over Sanchez Fallada's 50.8 FP, despite identical performances, proves that difficulty coefficients and ranking multipliers matter enormously. In the next tournament, prioritise players ranked just outside the elite tier who face tough opponents — that's where the hidden value lives
⚠️ Be careful loading up on heavy favourites in finals — Tapia's 36.4 FP from a dominant win is fine, but his 0.85 ranking multiplier and 0.68 difficulty coefficient capped his ceiling hard. If you're picking for pure upside, a slightly lower-ranked winner in a contested match will almost always out-score a No.1 seed who cruises
💡 Women's draw = bigger fantasy ceilings — Rotterdam's final confirmed it again: the top two scorers of the round were both from the women's draw. Don't neglect your women's picks when building your squad for the next event; the points on offer are simply higher when the coefficients align
👑 Double Final Sweep — Tapia/Coello and Sanchez Fallada/Ustero Prieto both claimed their respective titles in straight sets, giving Rotterdam a clean, dominant finish to what had been a competitive week of padel
📉 Stupaczuk & Sanz Go Negative — Finishing a P2 final in the red (-2.5 and -2.4 FP) is a nightmare scenario for fantasy managers; the heavy loss wiped out what should have been a guaranteed positive payday at the tournament's biggest stage
🚀 Ustero Prieto Tops the Entire Field — 56.9 FP isn't just a women's best, it's the highest single-player score of the entire final round across both draws — a remarkable haul driven by a favourable difficulty coefficient of 1.12
