Rotterdam back in Premier Padel action | OneFootball

Two weeks after the battle in Paris, Premier Padel is back in action. The tour arrives in Rotterdam for a P2 event that once again brings together the world’s top pairs, with plenty still at stake: the world number one spot, the top positions in the rankings, and qualification for the Finals are all still up for grabs.

The Dutch blue court will once again test the season’s main contenders. Among them will be Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello, who face a tough opener against Edu Alonso and Aimar Goñi. The player from Navarre also arrives boosted by his call-up to Spain’s World Championship squad. If predictions hold, Javi Leal and Fran Guerrero—champions of the FIP Platinum in Lyon and the pair who knocked out Tapia and Coello in Pretoria—could await them in the quarterfinals.

Paquito Navarro and Martín Di Nenno are also in that same section of the draw. The Spaniard from Seville and the Argentine head to Rotterdam with the goal of cementing fourth place in the rankings, although to do so they will need better results than Jon Sanz and Franco Stupaczuk. In fact, the Spaniard and the Argentine are lined up for a potential quarterfinal clash against Momo González and Lucas Campagnolo.

The other major battle for a place in the final could pit Juan Lebrón against Ale Galán. The Madrid-born player, alongside Fede Chingotto, will open against Jensen-Gala and could then face a possible showdown with Stupaczuk and Sanz. On the other side, Lebrón and Augsburger begin with a highly demanding opener against Arce and Tello. After reaching the semifinals in Paris, the pair will look to challenge for titles again in a tournament whose conditions do not seem especially favorable to their game. In the quarterfinals, they could meet Coki Nieto and Mike Yanguas.

Icardo won’t be ready in time

The women’s draw will be marked by the absence of Tamara Icardo. The player from Valencia was also unable to compete in Paris and has not managed to recover in time from her physical issues. Claudia Jensen will be at the Rotterdam P2 and will team up, on a temporary basis, with young Claudia Escacena, remaining inside the top 8.

In the top half of the draw, Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea are on the same path as Ari Sánchez and Andrea Ustero, champions at Roland Garros. The former could face Salazar and Osoro in the quarterfinals, while the champions could come up against Guinart and Alonso.

In the other section are Paula Josemaría and Bea González, who once again share a draw with Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo. The Spanish pair could get a chance for revenge against Sofía Araújo and Marta Ortega, the very players who knocked them out in Paris.
