Coello/Tapia cruise to the final while Sanchez/Ustero stage thrilling comeback in three-set thriller
The Valencia P1 2026 semifinals delivered everything fantasy padel fans crave: dominant performances, stunning upsets, and one absolutely devastating three-set battle. Andrea Ustero Prieto absolutely exploded onto the fantasy leaderboard with a tournament-high 48.9 FP, leading Ariana Sanchez Fallada's Sanchez/Ustero duo to a heartbreaking 5-7, 6-2, 4-6 victory over the favored Triay Pons/Brea Senesi tandem.
The men's draw showed a stark contrast in efficiency and fantasy value. Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia dismantled Yanguas/Stupaczuk in straight sets (6-2, 6-2), with Tapia's 35.9 FP demonstrating that dominance still translates to consistent fantasy scoring. Coello's 34.0 FP rounds out a commanding performance—this pairing will enter the final as overwhelming favorites.
Meanwhile, the Juan Lebron/Leo Augsburger upset loss to Galan/Chingotto in a grueling three-set affair (6-4, 3-6, 4-6) proved that even elite pairings can falter under pressure. Despite the loss, Lebron and Augsburger combined for just 15.5 FP—a cautionary tale for fantasy managers who banked on their experience. Galan (26.8 FP) and the standout Chingotto (29.4 FP) gritted through the marathon to secure their finals berth.

| 1 | Agustin Tapia | 35.9 |
| 2 | Arturo Coello | 34.0 |
| 3 | Federico Chingotto | 29.4 |

The women's semifinals were the story of the tournament. While Claudia Fernandez Sanchez and Sofia Araujo demolished Calvo Santamaria/Ortega Gallego 6-3, 6-2—with Araujo posting an elite 46.5 FP and Fernandez Sanchez matching 42.0 FP—it was the three-set classic that had everyone talking. Gemma Triay Pons and Delfina Brea Senesi couldn't sustain their first-set momentum against Sanchez/Ustero, scoring just 12.1 and 10.2 FP respectively in the loss—a shocking underperformance from a pairing of their caliber.
Ariana Sanchez Fallada's 38.5 FP combined with Ustero's 48.9 FP tells the complete story: they earned every point in that emotional three-set win. The women's semifinals showcased why three-set battles matter for fantasy—Ustero's 48.9 FP would rank elite even among the men's scorers.

Women's fantasy scoring dominated this round's leaderboard. Four of the top five individual fantasy scorers were women, with the top three clustered between 42-48.9 FP. This represents a massive shift from traditional padel fantasy expectations and signals that women's matches—particularly competitive three-setters—can deliver outsized fantasy value. In contrast, the men's highest scorers (Tapia's 35.9, Coello's 34.0) fell well below the women's elite tier, despite playing equally dominant tennis.
Royal Team's narrow 4.9-point lead atop the Valencia leaderboard (549.7) shows how tight competition remains, with four teams clustered within 7.7 points. However, FJorgensenTeam's commanding 270+ point lead in the season standings (6897.6) confirms their consistent fantasy excellence across the entire season.
