🏆 Tournament ChampionsRotterdam P2 2026 – Crowning the Champions
Tapia & Coello steamroll to glory, Sanchez & Ustero reign supreme, and S0rgans pulls off a fantasy masterclass in Rotterdam.
Rotterdam delivered. Forty-nine matches, twelve of them dragged into a decisive third set, and when the dust finally settled on the P2 season finale, it was Agustin Tapia and Arturo Coello who stood tallest on the men's side, while Ariana Sanchez Fallada and Andrea Ustero Prieto wrote their own fairytale on the women's draw. And in the fantasy standings? S0rgans — 696 points, a lead that felt comfortable long before the final was even played — claimed the crown with the kind of composed, calculated brilliance that makes every other manager second-guess every pick they ever made.
🥇 Final Standings — Top 10
🎾 The Premier Padel Final
Men's Final: Agustin Tapia / Arturo Coello def. Franco Stupaczuk / Jon Sanz 6-3 6-2
Women's Final: Ariana Sanchez Fallada / Andrea Ustero Prieto def. Paula Josemaria Martin / Beatriz Gonzalez Fernandez 6-4 6-4
Let's start with the men, because what Tapia and Coello did here bordered on ruthless. Their semifinal against Campagnolo and Gonzalez was the one wobble — dropping the second set 3-6 after cruising the first 6-1 — but they snapped straight back in the third with a clinical 6-1 to remind everyone that a momentary lapse is not a crack in the armour. The final against Stupaczuk and Sanz was barely a contest. 6-3, 6-2. Sanz had done his job getting there — he and Stupaczuk knocked out Yanguas and Nieto in a semifinal they won despite losing the first set 0-6, which is the kind of scoreline that makes you stare at the screen — but against Tapia and Coello at full tilt, there was no way through.
The women's draw had its own drama, and it came wrapped in a semifinal twist. Sanchez Fallada and Ustero Prieto had to claw past Gemma Triay and Delfina Brea — two of the most decorated names in the women's game — despite losing both sets 2-6 and 3-6. Wait. Yes, they lost both sets and still progressed. The format did its thing. Meanwhile, Gonzalez and Josemaria beat Claudia Fernandez and Martina Calvo in equally tight fashion, dropping both sets themselves before advancing. The final itself was cleaner: 6-4, 6-4 to Sanchez Fallada and Ustero Prieto, a statement scoreline that suggested they'd saved something for the moment that mattered most. Rotterdam belonged to them.
📖 The Champion's Story
S0rgans didn't just win Rotterdam P2 — they managed it with the kind of round-by-round consistency that most fantasy managers only dream about. Their lowest-scoring round was the semifinals at 106 points, and even that came with a solid men's lineup anchored by an 90-rated pick that showed up across multiple rounds. The real story is how they built momentum: 139 points in the Round of 32, 164 in the Round of 16 despite absorbing a 35-point penalty, then 168 in the quarterfinals through another 25-point penalty. Penalties and all, they kept accumulating.
The final round told the most interesting tale. S0rgans posted 120 points in the decider — not their highest round, but it didn't need to be. Their men's lineup featured a 465-rated pick that finally ignited in the Final column, while the women's side ran three picks above 410 points with metronomic reliability. That 696 total was built brick by brick, not through one miraculous round, but through never having a disaster. In a 49-match tournament where chaos could strike at any moment, that discipline is what separates a champion from a nearly-ran.
📈 S0rgans — Round-by-Round
🥈 g0nc4s
g0nc4s did something genuinely unusual in Rotterdam: they never changed their lineup. Not once. The exact same eight picks — men at 79/93/66/84, women at 410/399/408/661 — ran through every single round from the Round of 32 to the Final, and they still finished second with 651 points. That 661-rated women's pick was clearly their anchor and it paid out across the tournament. The peak was a massive 221-point Round of 16, their best haul of the week, but the flat 78 in the quarterfinals is where the title slipped away. No penalties, no adjustments, no panic — sometimes the bravest thing a manager can do is trust their picks. g0nc4s trusted them all the way to 651 and a silver medal.
🥉 ZeGalan
ZeGalan was the most active manager in the top three, and it showed in both directions. A stunning 180-point opening round — built on a 157-rated men's pick and a 94 alongside it — had them leading early and turning heads. They tinkered aggressively through the middle rounds, absorbing penalties of 30, 12, and 15 points along the way, and the lineup evolution was bold: by the semifinals they had a 452-rated men's pick alongside a 646-rated women's monster. The final round delivered their second-best haul at 172 points, but the damage from mid-tournament penalties and a brutal 67-point semifinal round proved too costly. Third place at 640 points for a manager who swung for the fences all week — you can't be too disappointed with that.
💎 Fantasy Takeaways
🧠 Consistency beats brilliance — S0rgans never had a truly elite round but won by simply never collapsing. In a 49-match tournament, floor matters as much as ceiling.
🔒 g0nc4s proved that a single dominant women's pick (that 661-rated anchor) carried all the way to second place without a single lineup change — sometimes your first instinct really is your best one.
⚡ Penalty management was the defining skill in Rotterdam — three of the top four managers absorbed at least one penalty, and the ones who kept theirs under control in the later rounds were the ones who ended up on the podium.
Rotterdam P2 is wrapped, the champions have their trophies, and S0rgans has a fantasy title to frame on the wall. The next Premier Padel stop is coming fast — get your squads ready, lock in those picks, and let's do this all over again.
