Dominant display seals men’s crown in Budapest
Gonza Alfonso and Tino Libaak delivered an authoritative run at the FIP Silver Budapest Open II, capturing their second tournament victory as a partnership while dropping only a single set throughout the week. Ranked No. 26 and No. 35 respectively in the FIP ranking, the Argentine combination produced a commanding performance in the men’s final to defeat Marc Quilez and Federico Mourino 6-2, 6-1.
The title in the Hungarian capital adds to an increasingly productive campaign for the pairing, following their earlier success in Italy where they claimed the FIP Silver Porto Sant’Elpidio in August. Earlier in September, Alfonso and Libaak reached the round of 32 at the Paris Major Premier Padel. The Budapest victory also builds on an impressive individual season for Alfonso, who reached the semi-finals of the Premier Padel P2 in Cancun alongside Sanyo Gutierrez in March, eventually bowing out to Juan Lebron and Leo Augsburger.
Caparros and Saiz battle to women’s title
Third seeds Marta Caparros and Sofia Saiz emerged victorious in the women’s tournament following a hard-earned route to the top of the podium. After navigating a demanding semi-final clash against Alix Collombon and Ksenia Sharifova with a 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 comeback win, the Spanish duo maintained their momentum in the final to defeat Marta Borrero and Teresa Navarro 6-1, 6-4.
World No. 41 Caparros continues an exceptional run of form on the CUPRA FIP Tour in 2026, where she has now secured three FIP Silver titles following previous wins in Abidjan, Westerbork, and Cordoba. Saiz, holding the No. 40 spot in the FIP ranking, has built a similarly strong record this season after taking the titles at both the FIP Silver Oeiras and FIP Bronze Mallorca.
