• 2 minutes read
British No.1 Christian Medina Murphy has lifted his second FIP Bronze title in as many weeks after winning the FIP Bronze ESC Padel in Espoo, Finland with Spanish partner Alberto Garcia Jiminez.
The second seeds produced a dominant performance throughout the week, not dropping a single set all tournament. The final saw Medina Murphy and Jiminez comfortably overcome the Spanish pairing of Daniel Martinez Otero and Eneko Arija Ochoa De Alda 6-4, 7-5.
This victory marks Medina Murphy’s second title in 2026, and sixth in his career. He also won the FIP Bronze crown in Tashkent last week.
Media Murphy reflected on the tournament saying, “I’m super happy with the level I’ve been playing at towards the end of this season. I think we’ve been playing at a really high level for quite some time now, but sometimes it’s not easy to turn those performances into good results. I’m extremely satisfied and happy, but already looking ahead to the next tournaments to see if we can keep this amazing run going."
“On top of that, winning a tournament in such a solid way, without dropping a single set and only facing around 4 or 5 break points across 5 matches, is incredibly positive. It gives us even more motivation to keep working hard because it shows we’re definitely on the right track!” Medina Murphy added.
The FIP Tour is a professional-level circuit officially sanctioned by the International Padel Federation (FIP) and is the first stage of the professional padel circuit, featuring four levels of competition - bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.
Medina Murphy, who is currently ranked world No.125 in the FIP world rankings, now turns his attention to this week's FIP Bronze in Kochi, India.
On the international stage, Great Britain's women finished 10th in their first FIP World Cup Finals appearance since 2021 after losing narrowly to Belgium on the final day in Doha.
