Martina Calvo Becomes Youngest Premier Padel Champion Ever With London P1 Title

Martina Calvo is the youngest player ever to win a Premier Padel title. The 18-year-old beat Gemma Triay and Delfina Brea 7-5, 6-3 alongside partner Claudia Fernandez in the London P1 final on Sunday, breaking a record set by Andrea Ustero in Bordeaux last year by 20 days.

Calvo was 18 years, 1 month and 4 days old when she lifted the trophy at Olympia. It capped a fast turnaround from the week before, when Fernandez and Calvo lost to the same Triay and Brea pairing in the Pretoria P1 final.

Revenge in London

This was only the second tournament Fernandez and Calvo had played together, and the second straight final against Triay and Brea. The result went the other way this time.

"Things did not go our way in Pretoria, but fortunately this time we managed to change the ending," Fernandez said after the match.

Calvo called the win a lifelong dream. "I have watched so many finals on television and always wondered what it would feel like to play one," she said.

A landmark London week

The women's title capped Premier Padel's first ever visit to the UK. Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia had already won the men's final earlier Sunday, beating Federico Chingotto and Alejandro Galan 6-3, 5-7, 7-5 for their eighth title of the season.

For Fernandez and Calvo, the London title marks their first as a pairing and pushes the teenager straight into the record books.
