Miguel & Nuno Deus Shine at Paris Roland-Garros Padel Major

A Paris-Weekend with Heart: The Deus Brothers at Roland-Garros

This week, padel took over one of tennis’ most hallowed settings: Roland-Garros. The Paris Major, part of the Premier Padel / Paris Major circuit, offered glitz, fierce competition, and upsets. Among the stories that grabbed the headlines were those of Miguel & Nuno Deus, Portugal’s rising duo, who once again showed remarkable courage, significant growth, and promising potential against the very best. Below is a look at their week in Paris—how they fared, what stood out, and what’s next for these two.

The Week’s Arc

From the start, the Deus brothers show they belong in the big leagues.

• Opening Round: Miguel & Nuno Deus advanced through their first match in Paris with solid play, proving sharp and focused against their opponents in the Round of 64.
• Round of 32 vs. World No. 2: Their path led them to a clash with the formidable pairing of Alejandro Galán & Federico Chingotto. In what was expected to be a tall order, the Deus brothers fought hard but eventually fell in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5.  

Though they didn’t make it further, their performance did not disappoint. They stretched a top duo, showing composure on big points, and demonstrated that every new major isn’t just about surviving it’s about raising the bar. Their match against Galán & Chingotto, the World No. 2, was particularly significant. Despite the loss, they managed to make the top pair doubt, a feat that few can achieve, and this is a clear indication of their potential.

Special Touch: Their Own Racket & Gear

One unique detail about Miguel & Nuno Deus is their equipment. The brothers play with a dedicated Cork racket a model tailored to their preferences, presumably optimised for touch, feel, and control. Fans or aspiring players who are impressed by their style can purchase that same dedicated Cork racket on Padeldogs.com. It’s always inspiring to see top players putting their signature on the gear they use after all, having the right tool can make all the difference in tight matches.

What’s Next & What to Watch For

• The Deus brothers will likely leave Paris more confident. Matches like this provide mental and technical edges.
• Watch their next tournaments to see how they close out big points vs elite pairs. They’ve shown they can stay in rallies, but now it’s about converting.

Keep an eye on their training and tournament schedule. Tough draws like the one in Paris force players to learn what separates the near-top from the top. If Miguel and Nuno keep pushing, they may break into later rounds of majors more regularly. 

Final Thoughts

This Paris Major was not about a single victory or a trophy for Miguel & Nuno Deus but about significant progression, unwavering grit, and proving they can compete toe-to-toe with some of the best. Though they didn’t upset the odds, they certainly earned respect and showed flashes of what’s possible. Their performance in Paris was a significant step in their journey, marking their ability to compete at the highest level.

If you follow padel, these brothers are worth your attention not just for what they’ve achieved so far, but for what they’ll accomplish in the coming months. And for those looking to play like them (or at least get close!), picking up their dedicated Cork racket from PadelDogs.com might help bring some Deus magic to your game.
