Lebrón and Augsburger rediscover their winning form in Dubai, while Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo claim their third title as a pair
The Dubai P1 2026 finals brought a week full of surprises, comebacks and historic moments to a spectacular conclusion. The final P1 of the season has crowned its champions: Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger in the men’s draw, and Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo in the women’s competition.
The Spanish-Argentinian pair secured their second title of the year after defeating Tino Libaak and Gonza Alfonso 7-6, 5-7, 6-3, while Claudia and Martina once again demonstrated their enormous potential by overcoming Paula Josemaría and Bea González 7-5, 6-1.
Lebrón and Augsburger return to winning ways six months later
Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger are back on top of Premier Padel. The pair coached by Agustín Gómez Silingo secured their second title of the season following a demanding final against Tino Libaak and Gonza Alfonso.
The Argentinians surprised the second seeds early in the match, establishing a 4-1 lead in the opening set.
However, Lebrón and Augsburger recovered the lost ground and eventually took the set 7-6 in a tiebreak.
Far from losing confidence, Libaak and Alfonso maintained their level in the second set. A break of serve in the eleventh game allowed them to win 7-5 and take the final into a deciding set.
At the crucial moment, Lebrón and Augsburger stepped up. An early 3-0 advantage allowed them to control the final set and close out the match 6-3 after two hours and 22 minutes of play.

Six and a half months after winning the Brussels P2, Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger are lifting another trophy.
Third time lucky against Libaak and Alfonso
The victory holds special significance for Lebrón and Augsburger, who had lost their previous two meetings against Libaak and Alfonso.
The Argentinians had eliminated them in the round of 16 at both the Madrid P1 and Kuwait Major, becoming one of their most challenging opponents.
This time, Juan and Leo managed to reverse that trend on the biggest stage: a Premier Padel final.
Despite their defeat, Tino Libaak and Gonza Alfonso complete an extraordinary week, having reached their first final as a pair.
For Libaak, it was also his debut in a Premier Padel final, confirming the progress of one of Argentina’s brightest talents.
Juan Lebrón completes an unforgettable week
The Dubai title comes at a particularly special moment for Juan Lebrón.
The Spanish player became world champion with Spain just eight days ago, playing a key role in the final against Argentina alongside Aimar Goñi.
Now, back with his regular partner, he has secured another trophy alongside Leo Augsburger.
Two titles in just over a week allow Lebrón to finish the Middle Eastern swing in the best possible way.
Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo dominate the women’s final
In the women’s draw, Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo once again demonstrated that they are already established stars of world padel.
The fourth seeds defeated Paula Josemaría and Bea González 7-5, 6-1, securing their third title as a pair.
The opening set was characterised by its competitiveness and repeated exchanges of service breaks. With the score at 5-5, Claudia and Martina found the decisive opportunity to close out the set 7-5.
The second set was an entirely different story.
The young Spaniards won five consecutive games, effectively deciding a final they eventually closed out 6-1.
An outstanding performance that confirms the excellent form of a pair continuing to make remarkable progress on the professional circuit.
Three titles in nine tournaments for Claudia and Martina
Since beginning their partnership, Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo have demonstrated that they have everything required to compete for any title.
In just nine tournaments together, they have reached five finals and lifted three trophies:
- London P1.
- Düsseldorf P2.
- Dubai P1.
Furthermore, Claudia Fernández successfully defended the Dubai title she won in 2025, when she was partnered with none other than Bea González.
Meanwhile, Paula and Bea will have to wait a little longer to lift another trophy, having not won a title since the Valladolid P2 in June.
