Coello and Tapia Win Kuwait Major and Secure Year-End No. 1 as Triay Takes Record 59th Title

Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia won the Kuwait Major, beating Juan Tello and Maxi Arce 6-1 6-1 in 57 minutes in the men's final. It was their 13th title of 2026 and their fifth in a row after Paris, Rotterdam, Düsseldorf and Milan, leaving them one title short of their record of 14 in a calendar year, set in 2024

The title was worth 2,000 points and mathematically secured the top spot in the FIP Ranking and the FIP Race for 2026, their fourth consecutive season as world number ones. It was also their 23rd win in a row and took Tapia level with Pablo Lima on 66 career titles, third on the all-time list behind Juan Martín Díaz with 116 and Fernando Belasteguín with 162. Tello and Arce were playing their first final together

In the women's final, Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay beat Ari Sánchez and Andrea Ustero 3-6 6-1 6-1. It was their seventh title of the season and their second Major after Rome, ending an almost two-month wait that dated back to the Madrid P1. Triay said they did not make the best start but began playing better in the second set

The win gave Triay her 59th career title, the most in the history of the sport. She moved ahead of Alejandra Salazar and Sánchez, who are both on 58

Brea and Triay will now be on opposite sides at the FIP World Cup in Doha, with Brea representing Argentina and Triay Spain
