Le summer transfer window accelerates on Premier PadelAfter the separation between Franco Stupaczuk and Mike Yanguas A major shift is emerging at the top of the standings: according to information from MARCA, Franco Stupaczuk and Jon Sanz are going to team up for the second half of the season.
The official announcement is expected in the coming days, but the two players have reportedly already decided to join forces. Their first appearance together is expected at Madrid P1 , early September.
Stupa is betting on the power of Jon Sanz
After a first part of the season contested with mike yanguas Stupaczuk is therefore embarking on a very different project.
The Argentinian would primarily find a left-handed man by his side , a configuration he hadn't experienced since his association with Pablo Lima in 2022 .
With Jon Sanz, Stupa acquires a player capable of setting a very high tempo, taking risks, and above all, generating a lot of winning points A pair that should offer a particularly explosive style of padel.
On paper, the association is intriguing: Stupaczuk to build and work the points, Sanz to bring his madness and aggression The challenge now is to find the right balance, particularly in defensive phases where Stupa has been able to rely in the past on more consistent players like Martín Di Nenno.
End of the Sanz / Nieto adventure
This movement logically leads to the separation of Coki Nieto and Jon Sanz , now official.
The two Spaniards had decided to reunite after a particularly successful first adventure, which notably concluded with two titles But this second stage was not as successful.
Jon Sanz has therefore chosen to seize the opportunity to join Stupaczuk and remain among the very best pairs on the circuit.
The new association could start as 4th or 5th seed , depending on the next moves and partners chosen by the other players involved.
And now, Yanguas / Nieto?
This is obviously the big question raised by this movement.
Mike Yanguas and Coki Nieto both find themselves without a partner and the possibility of seeing them reunite as a pair naturally arises.
The two men know their game perfectly, having played together throughout the 2025 season ending the year as fourth in the world and reaching numerous semi-finals.
But their first adventure didn't end on the best of terms. So a return isn't necessarily a given.
Everything will also depend on other opportunities that might arise in the coming days. Another split at the top of the standings would be enough to reshuffle the cards once again.
The first big domino has fallen
The association Stupaczuk / Sanz This could at least be the move that truly kicks off the transfer window in the Top 10.
An explosive pair, two players capable of producing a huge number of winning shots and a project that will be immediately anticipated in Madrid.
Now, all eyes are on Mike Yanguas and Coki Nieto Their choice will likely determine the rest of this great game of musical chairs before the resumption of Premier Padel in September.
I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
