Pattaya, Thailand – July 19, 2026 – The Asia Pacific Padel Tour has crowned its champions at the APPT Prime Padel Pattaya Grand Slam. It is the first time the Tour has brought its Grand Slam tier to Pattaya. Over three days and four courts at Prime Padel Pattaya, more than 110 players from 21 nationalities competed in nine categories. They shared USD 13,000 in prize money. It was the second Grand Slam of the 2026 season in Thailand, following January’s Pad Thai Padel Grand Slam in Bangkok. Full Pattaya Grand Slam results follow below.

Eduard Altimires Ros and Juan Carlos Gama González Win Pro Male

Eduard Altimires Ros and Juan Carlos Gama González (ESP) won the Pro Male title. The win extends Altimires Ros’s run as the field’s points leader after back-to-back 2026 titles at Phuket III and Penang. Meanwhile, Sergi Nogueras Lorenz and Valentino Acosta Kremnitzer (ARG) reached their third straight final. Their previous two came at Hong Kong Grand Slam Platinum and KL Open.

Carlota Estrada and Elisabeth Estrada (ESP) also won the Pro Female title, defeating Irina Chernaya (RUS) and Natalie Narkprasert (THA) in the final.
