The tour
Coello and Tapia face Stupaczuk and Sanz again in the Germany P2 final. Coello and Tapia beat Lebrón and Augsburger 6-2, 6-3 in just over an hour. Stupaczuk and Sanz knocked out defending champions Chingotto and Galán 7-6, 6-4, setting up a repeat of the Rotterdam final. FIP says the men's final starts no earlier than 4pm Spanish time today.

The women's final is Fernández/Calvo against Sánchez/Ustero. Fernández and Calvo won a three-hour marathon over Josemaría and González, 6-4, 5-7, 7-6. Sánchez and Ustero beat top seeds Brea and Triay 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 in just under three hours, so the defending champions will not feature in either final. The women play at 2pm Spanish time. Source: FIP

Milan's draws put Tapia and Coello and Galán and Chingotto on a collision course. The fifth Oysho Milano Premier Padel P1 runs from 12 to 18 October at the Allianz Cloud. Tapia and Coello are top seeds in a 48-pair men's draw, with defending champions Galán and Chingotto second. In the 28-pair women's draw, Josemaría (now with González) and Sánchez (now with Ustero) are the defending champions, and FIP flags a possible final between them. Source: FIP

The players
Galán says catching Tapia and Coello is "very uphill". Speaking at the Germany P2, Galán told reporters it would be hard for him and Chingotto to regain the world number one spot, according to Padel Addict. Tapia and Coello extended their lead to 1,780 points by winning in Rotterdam, and Galán acknowledged the outcome now depends partly on results he cannot control. Source: Padel Addict (Spanish)

Business and tech
Siux launches the Obsidian 2027 control rackets. The range goes on sale on 12 October in three versions: Pro Black and Pro Silver at €359.95, and the Elite at €270. All are teardrop-shaped with low balance, weigh 355 to 375g, and sit between Siux's Trilogy and Diablo designs.
