Coello / Tapia and Galan / Chingotto headline the men's draw
Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia won't play a point at the Malaga P1 until midweek. The men's top seeds join the draw in the round of 32 across Tuesday, July 14 and Wednesday, July 15.
Premier Padel returns to the Jose Maria Martin Carpena arena in Malaga for the season's next P1, and the men's main draw is a big one. It holds 48 pairs, with the seeds handed byes through the opening round, so the marquee names sit out the first couple of days and start their week later than everyone else.
When the big names start
Coello and Tapia, the world's top pair, are down to debut in that Tuesday-to-Wednesday window. Second seeds Ale Galan and Federico Chingotto open in the same stretch. The draw also has Juan Lebron and Franco Augsburger, along with Yanguas and Stupaczuk, among the other seeded pairs waiting for a first match.
What comes next
The men's round of 16 lands on Thursday, July 16, the same day the women's top seeds begin their tournament. The final is set for Sunday, July 19.
A rivalry on a collision course
The seeding points to another possible Coello-Tapia vs Galan-Chingotto final. The two pairs met barely a week ago in Bordeaux, where Coello and Tapia edged a three-set thriller 5-7, 7-6(4), 6-2 for a fourth straight title. Win in Malaga and they make it five in a row.
