A title to kick-start the Argentina Padel Tour 2026
The Campana Padel Open got the 2026 Argentina Padel Tour season off to a perfect start. Held from April 3 to 5 at the World Padel Center in Campana, Buenos Aires province, this first event of the year saw Alex Chozas and Tino Libaak hold serve to expectations, dominating Matías Segura and Juan Pablo Andrada in the final, 6-4, 6-0, in just over an hour’s game. This success was the ideal start to their Argentine spring and immediately gave the circuit a real sporting dimension.
However, the tournament was not entirely straightforward. Campana was also due to welcome Leo Augsburger, one of the announced headline acts, but the Argentinian player finally withdrew due to injury before the event. In spite of this last-minute absence, the inaugural event maintained its density, with a final pitting two pairs already established on the international scene against each other, and a public that was largely mobilized around this return to the national tour.
Libaak-Chozas confirm their build momentum
Above and beyond the scoreline, this title above all tells of the pair’s good times. Since the start of the season, Tino Libaak and Alex Chozas have been stringing together appearances on the major events of the calendar, between the international circuit, FIP stages and major professional padel events. Their victory in Campana was therefore more than just a local interlude: it validated their ability to impose their tempo, intensity and complementarity on the Argentine on tour too. As Chozas himself recapped on his networks, this was a “very special” tournament, played this time close to their families after several weeks away from Argentina.
Their progress in the tournament confirmed this impression. Chozas and Libaak booked their place in the final after a solid semifinal win over Ortiz-Cortese, while Segura and Andrada came from behind to beat Borges-Rubini. In the final, the first set hung in there before the winners clearly raised their game in the second. The 6-0 final says a lot about their ability to take the net, accelerate on the diagonals and lock in the rallies as soon as the bandeja and vibora start to pull the opponent back. In the face of the match, Campana above all showed a pair capable of tightening the game at key moments and then gradually extinguishing the final.
Campana confirms Argentine circuit’s ambitions
This success is also interesting to read in a broader context. The Argentina Padel Tour seeks to establish itself as a strong space for the national top level, while maintaining a direct link with clubs, organizing cities and the new generation. Campana has perfectly illustrated this ambition with a stage capable of attracting players who already have international exposure, while giving visibility to an Argentine padel that continues to produce explosive, well-rounded and tactically well-trained profiles.
The weekend also featured the Next Gen tables, another strong signal of the tournament’s identity. Several youth categories were played in parallel, proving that the project is more than just a showcase for headline acts. This link between elite and up-and-coming players gives added meaning to the season opener: Campana not only crowned a pair, it also served as a reminder that the Argentina Padel Tour aims to tell the story of an entire ecosystem, from training to the very highest level.
For Libaak and Chozas, this first title on the 2026 edition already acts as a marker. In a dense calendar, winning the inaugural event sets the pace, gives them mental weight on the tour and sends a clear message to other pairs. In Campana, they didn’t just lift a trophy: they launched the Argentina Padel Tour 2026 in style.
