00:00All the way back to Seville. The last time they didn't meet in a final, they met in the semi-final there.
00:08But one of these pairings has made the final in every Premier Paddle event since.
00:14The Premier Paddle calendar here in Valladolid. Arturo Cuello will serve first.
00:44There's that natural reaction.
01:15What about the angles again? Chigotto finds that middle split just to prevent that.
01:2315-0.
01:53Incredible shot.
02:23Cuello's serve is under threat again here, isn't it?
02:45Oh, Chigotto just sends that ball into the cage.
03:12Chigotto, 4-5.
03:42Get it on to that smash.
03:4915-0.
03:59Incredible reach there from Tapia.
04:27Should put that away.
04:53Oh, no. Come on. That is ridiculous from Tapia.
04:57Partnership to work out the corrections and where the improvements are needed as Chigotto and Galan have done here.
05:12Tapia serving. Love 15. 15-0.
05:2915-0.
05:39Street fight again.
05:52Tapia saves well.
05:55Again, just about keeps that over the net.
05:58Balls to the corner.
06:12What a rally.
06:21What a rally. That was absolutely a magnificent demonstration.
06:52Taking off all the heat.
07:06Oh, both try and cover it. Someone's got to paddle on that.
07:10It might have been Galan closer to the net, but he's going to turn it over.
07:16Oh, and he's on his backside just as Tapia gets the touch.
07:22Which gets underway next weekend.
07:26After that, we'll go to New Giza, Dubai, Kuwait.
07:29The last major of the year in Mexico.
07:34Milan for P1.
07:37Tour finals in Barcelona.
07:41Again, it was fair, but this sport can be pretty brutal physically as well at times.
07:52Tapia puts it away.
08:1130-0.
08:22Station themselves at the net here.
08:26Tapia forced back a little.
08:41Incredible work again.
08:43He's given Chigoto and Galan the chance.
08:59She's hit.
09:12Oh, it's a miss. It's another break point.
09:16Netted it.
09:27Oh, Galan can't pull it back, and that is a break.
09:30Kicks that so fiercely into the corner to get that double contact for 30-15.
09:37And that's two match points.
09:57Oh, Chigoto with that cushion.
10:23Galan.
10:27Offensive lob for that Cuello smash, and they've done it again.
10:33Arturo Cuello and Agustin Tapia have won for the third week in a row on the Premier Paddle calendar.
10:41They've won for the fourth straight tournament.
10:44They've entered all at the expense of Galan and Chigoto in the final.
10:48And have locked away their ninth win of the season.
10:53They are just too good right now.
10:56I mean, Chigoto and Galan weren't bad. Far from it. Far from it.
11:02But still came up short here against a duo that are at the absolute peak of their powers.
11:10It's yet another tournament triumph.
11:13The hat-trick of Madrid and Rotterdam.
11:17They now add Valladolid. Arturo Cuello wins in his home city.
11:21What form they will take now into the season's third major in Paris next week.
11:27A single break is all it took.
11:34Marathon final.
11:38The first final since Rome between these two that have gone the distance.
11:436-3, 7-6 in Madrid. 6-2, 6-2 in Rotterdam.
11:47But far more turbulence en route today for these two.
11:51But it doesn't matter in the end. Once again, there is victory.
12:08.
