The first edition of the Fip Platinum Sardinia crowns Patricia Llaguno and Lucía Sainz in the women's draw, while Federico Chingotto and Mike Yanguas triumph in the men's draw. At the end of a splendid morning at the Cagliari Tennis Club, the international padel tournament ended today which has filled the stands of the Monte Urpinu facility since last Sunday, where for the last three days there was a full house with a large audience.

The encore. For Sainz it is the second success in Cagliari, he had already won in 2020 on the occasion of the first international event hosted at Tc Cagliari. Paired with Llaguno, she beat the Italian Carolina Orsi and the Spanish Carla Mesa 6-4 6-2 in an hour and 33 minutes. For Orsi, the best Italian player in the ranking, a great result at the end of a tournament in which she showed an excellent level.

Last Stand. In the men's draw, it takes 70' for Chingotto-Yanguas (seeded number 1) to overcome Xisco Gil and Ramiro Moyano. The final score is 6-3 6-4, with the Argentine and the Spaniard having arrived in Cagliari already as favorites (respectively number 9 and 22 in the world) and having respected the predictions.

The tournament. The first edition of the FIP Platinum Sardinia was a success, which brought international padel back to Cagliari after the 2020 and 2021 events. «I hope that the two hundred participating athletes had a good time in Sardinia, the Island of Sport: thanks to everyone's names the Sardinians for this show", the words of the regional councilor for Tourism Gianni Chessa on the sidelines of the award ceremony. And the tournament has already been confirmed for next year too, demonstrating how Sardinia is increasingly becoming a point of reference for the discipline (with also great growth in terms of enthusiasts, fields and practitioners).
