Madrid P1 by Oysho: Coello, Tapia and Galán Head to Movistar Arena

The fifth edition comes to Movistar Arena

The Comunidad de Madrid Premier Padel P1 by Oysho returns for its fifth edition from 29 August to 6 September 2026. Qualifying rounds take place at Pro Padel Coslada from 29–31 August, with the official club hosting the preliminary phase for the second consecutive year. The Movistar Arena then becomes the main stage from 1 to 6 September for all quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals. Tickets are available through madridpremierpadel.com, with the main-draw session on opening day scheduled for 10:00.

The draw structure allocates 48 men's spots — 37 direct entries, eight qualifying places and three wildcards — and 28 women's spots (23 direct entries, four qualifying places and one wildcard). The three men's wildcards give the organisation room to include high-profile Spanish players or returning professionals outside the current entry ranking window; neither the Coslada qualifying draw nor the wildcard nominations had been formally published at the time of writing.

Post-London: the stars who arrive in form

The Madrid P1 is the first major stop after London's inaugural Premier Padel event. Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia travel to the Movistar Arena as London P1 champions, having collected what reports indicate is their eighth paired title of the season. Their expected main-draw rivals are Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto, current leaders of the CUPRA FIP Race following their Newgiza P2 victory. On the women's side, Claudia Fernández — who partnered Martina Calvo in the London final that made Calvo the youngest Premier Padel champion in history — will aim to replicate that form at a venue where she has strong previous results. Local favourites Martita Ortega, Alejandra Salazar and Coki Nieto are also confirmed in their respective draws.

Calendar significance: gateway to Roland-Garros

The Madrid P1 sits between London (concluded 10 August) and the Alpine Paris Major at Roland-Garros (7–13 September), making it the critical ranking checkpoint before the Major with the biggest prestige on clay. A P1 delivers significant ranking points — below only the four annual Majors — and the Movistar Arena's capacity and atmosphere have historically produced higher TV ratings than many European P2 events. Players in close Race positions heading into the autumn have consistently cited Madrid as a pivotal week.

Coslada courts open 29 August

Pro Padel Coslada will host the qualifying phase for 50-plus pairs fighting for eight slots in the Movistar Arena draw. The club's investment in court infrastructure over the past two years positions it as one of the best-equipped qualifying venues on the tour. For the full main draw to appear, the direct-entry ranking cutoff will be taken once the FIP Gold San Luis in Mexico — under way from 17 to 22 August — has concluded and updated the FIP rankings. The Paris Major begins just seven days after the Madrid P1 final on 6 September.
