It's the third time this season the two pairs have met in a semifinal or final, and the top seeds have won both previous meetings. ## How they got here Coello and Tapia needed just 59 minutes to beat Fran Guerrero and Javi Leal 6-2, 6-2 in Friday's quarterfinal, continuing a run that has barely been troubled all week. Stupaczuk and Sanz matched that with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Jeronimo Gonzalez and Lucas Campagnolo, backing up the form that has made them the most consistent challengers to the world number ones since Rotterdam. Coello and Tapia beat Stupaczuk and Sanz in the Rotterdam final and again a few weeks later in Dusseldorf, both times in straight sets. A third straight final would put the Argentine-Spanish duo in rare company this season, but Stupaczuk and Sanz have pushed the top seeds to tiebreaks before and know exactly where the match can be won. ## The late semifinal: title holders against the in-form Spaniards Defending champions Ale Galan and Fede Chingotto play the evening semifinal against Juan Lebron and Leo Augsburger, who have been the form pair of the back half of the week. Galan and Chingotto got past Gonzalo Alfonso and Valentino Libaak 6-3, 7-6 in the quarterfinals, while Lebron and Augsburger needed a tiebreak to see off Javier Garrido and Juan de Pascual, winning 7-6, 6-3. Galan is chasing a third Milano title, having won the event with Lebron himself back in 2022 and 2023. Facing his former partner for a place in Sunday's final adds an extra layer to a semifinal that was always going to be close on paper. ## What's at stake Both semifinals are being played on the Allianz Cloud's Center Court on Saturday, with the Tapia-Coello match first on and the Galan-Chingotto semifinal to follow. Sunday's final decides the last trophy of this stretch of the Premier Padel calendar before the tour moves on. ## FAQ ### When are the Milano P1 2026 men's semifinals?
