00:00Nice. Here we go. Second seeds making their way out.
00:21Federico Gingotto leading the way. 12 consecutive wins now for the second best pair in the world.
00:29The last time they lost was the quarter finals of Riyadh, which was.
00:32To the 7th floor, one to the LCS, one of the eight, our best team, are the third position and defending champions of the League of Champions League.
00:42They are the defending champions. They are the world number one pair, holding that spot in the rankings for a second year running.
01:03Oh, my word. Let's just get another ball back in play. Excellent, exquisite defence from Cueo and Tappi, who are at sixes and sevens.
01:29Then a top edge from Galan. Love 30.
01:42Great hold from Love 30. They're on the board. They've settled in.
01:46Great defence from Gingotto. It drew the air, looking to give it absolutely everything.
02:07Arturo Cueo and our first break point of the final comes on the Cueo serve.
02:16Hold on.
02:19There it is. Down to the feet of Tappi and nothing he could do about it.
02:32Great play from Cingotto and Galan, who are love 30 down on their serve. They held and now they've broken the serve of Arturo Cueo to make the first break through this men's final. Two love they lead.
02:45Alejandro Galan, two serve.
02:46Alejandro Galan, two serve.
03:00Alright, so that's not the same.
03:17Agustin! Agustin at the right!
03:20Agustin! Agustin at the right!
03:32You cannot leave it sitting up at that height with Ali Galan around.
03:35He will do that all day long.
03:38Advantage, Cingotto Galan.
03:47It's Saturday evening.
03:577 at the left local time.
04:06Too good for Federico Cingotto.
04:10And it means they hold on to their lead through 17 minutes.
04:13So whizzing through these games.
04:17Asun comes!
04:22Asun comes!
04:23Asun comes!
04:24Asun comes!
04:25Asun comes!
04:26How are you?
04:27Agustin, Asun comes!
04:29A good one!
04:30Asun comes!
04:35Asun comes!
04:36Here!
04:37Out!
04:38Yes!
04:39Yes!
04:40I love 15 how about that for reactions so much is going to work out once you leave
04:55the court laws and you're not even looking at the court but you have to follow the flight
04:58to the ball points to lock us in
05:24that's it it's a hold 15 they consolidate their break back and it is four games all through
05:3628 minutes
05:48big point coming up at 4 all 30 all
05:55it's a great get back from tapia when the point looked lost but galan wasn't going anywhere
06:14had the net cover was able to put it away
06:21oh
06:28oh
06:30oh
06:32oh
06:33oh
06:35oh
06:36Ah, here, here! No!
07:06Two back, Loveholds.
07:09Nothing to split the pairs as things stand.
07:13With a chance to take us to the tie-break when they resume,
07:16on the serve of Augustine Tapia.
07:20There's too much on that for Galan to reach.
07:41The lob came down with snow on it from Arturo Cuello.
07:50The first break of the tie-break goes the way of the top seeds.
08:11It's time.
08:25Change up to six points played, mini-break to the top seeds.
08:34They'll consolidate that mini-break, and that is a point they enjoyed, 4-2.
08:434-2.
08:44For now, it's good.
09:12Agustin Minos, she wants to do it.
09:25Right place, right time.
09:31Back on serve.
09:32Thank you, Fabians.
09:42Bates.

11:56We're out!
12:0115-0.
12:24Just left the court a fraction of a second late.
12:45It's an opening now for Chingotto and Galan.
12:5015-30.
12:5312 consecutive wins for Galan and Chingotto.
13:08A beautiful change of direction.
13:13Heavy disguise.
13:18And they are two points from the successful defense of their title,
13:21which if they close it has worked out.
13:24From Arturo Coelho.
13:28Agustin, you have two points.
13:31Two points.
13:32Yes.
13:33Agustin.
13:34Agustin, no.
13:35Agustin, yes!
13:37Agustin, yes!
13:41You are kidding me.
13:51What a phenomenal shot and get from our…
13:55Agustin Tapia to bring up match point, championship point, after an hour and 19 minutes.
14:01And there's the title, the successful defense of their crown, your winners, your champions,
14:30your kings of the desert, Agustin Tapia and Arturo Cuello, and they did it without dropping
14:38a set.
14:407-6, 6-2, after an hour and 20 minutes, ending the run of 12 consecutive wins for Federico
14:48Cingotto and Ale Galland, your champions.
15:00They remain a force to be reckoned with, leveling up with Cingotto and Galland with two titles
15:18for the year, but they have the first major crown.
15:22This is where it began, this is where it continues.
15:28Successful defense, another title.
15:32What a week.
15:35Without dropping a set, Cuello and Tapia are champions once again in Doha.
15:41Time to see the family and friends.
15:46Richard Acquero's girlfriend.
15:53Family and friends in the front row supporting them.
15:57Very emotional times.
15:58They won in Riyadh, but as I mentioned, it was in a semifinal in Miami, around a 16 in
16:07Santiago, but they are back in the winner's circle.
16:11That is what it means.
16:13It means so much.
16:21These are the titles they want to be winning.
16:23These are the majors of the Premier Panel Tour, and they have successfully defended their title.
16:36They said it was instant chemistry.
16:38They clicked immediately when they came together.
16:40Tapia said that respect and understanding each other is key.
16:46They do exactly that.
16:47They have that.
16:49The chemistry.
16:57They won 14 titles in 2024.
17:02They've now won their second from six events that have played, although they didn't play all six.
17:07But they have two titles from six possible at the start of this year.
17:13It means so, so much.
17:15They are the best pair in the rankings.
17:21Been together since 2023.
17:22Difficult one to take for Galan and Chingotto, who'd been on this run of 12 consecutive wins.
17:33They won Miami.
17:33They won Santiago.
17:35This was a tough straight set's defeat.
17:37In terms of finals, it's now 11 and four in favor of Cuello and Tapia.
17:43That will sound like the presentation ceremony, the stage.
18:09We will have the women's presentation, the men's presentation.
18:19Terequo says it's the desire and the drive to stay the best, to be the best, remain at number one that keeps him going.
18:27That is exactly what they'll do with performances like that.
18:31It's time to step on the center on the court.
18:51This applause for our champions, Arturo Cuello, Agustin Tapia.
18:57They've done it again in Doha.
19:02They are your champions, and they did it without dropping a set.
19:0914 titles last year.
19:12Two from two finals so far in 2025.
19:15We are asking now our women's champions and finalists to rejoin our dignatrice and men's shalkes on the stage for this final picture.
19:24What a couple of finals we had featuring the top two pairs of both women's and men's shalkes on this 2025 edition of the Rio de Catar Major.
19:41Congratulations, Gemma Teixeira, Arturo Cuello, Agustin Tapia.
19:50Your first major champions of the Qatar Airways Premier Paddle Tour for 2025 have been crowned.
19:58Thanks again to our dignatrice for being with us tonight at this trophy ceremony on this 2025 edition of the Rio de Catar Major.
