Javi Leal and Fran Guerrero won the FIP Platinum Lyon on Sunday, beating top seeds Franco Stupaczuk and Jon Sanz 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 in the men's final at the Palais des Sports de Gerland.

## A response to the snub

The Spanish pair had been left off Spain's roster for the World Championship in Doha just three days earlier, with Sanz and Aimar Goñi picked instead. Guerrero did not hide his frustration after the win, pointing to the selection decision in his on-court comments. It is the pair's second FIP Platinum title in France this year, after Marseille in February.

Stupaczuk and Sanz took the first set 6-4 but could not hold their form. Leal and Guerrero leveled it at 6-4 in the second, then broke early in the decider and ran away with it, closing the match 6-1.

## Caldera and Goenaga sweep the week

In the women's final, Bea Caldera and Carmen Goenaga beat Martina Fassio and Águeda Pérez 6-1, 6-3, finishing the tournament without dropping a single set. It is Goenaga's first FIP Platinum title. Caldera previously won a FIP Gold in Lyon back in 2024, so the return trip paid off again.

Both finals were played on September 27, 2026, closing out the FIP Platinum Lyon event and adding another chapter to a busy year for Spanish padel.
