Le  Newgiza Premier Padel P2  It not only marks the resumption of the circuit. It also launches a new phase of the season with a well-known phenomenon in padel: the  changes of partners .

After the first four tournaments of the year, a major shake-up occurred in the men's draw, with several significant splits. As a result, in Egypt,  Many new pairs will be making their debuts .

 A turbulent start to the season already 

The beginning of 2026 confirmed a strong trend: the  stability remains rare  on the circuit.

Among the notable separations:

  •  Sanyo Gutierrez / Gonza Alfonso 
  •  “Los Javis” , a duo that has been established for several seasons

These decisions have revived the market… and reshuffled the cards.

 New pairs to watch 

The Cairo tournament will be the scene of several  first associations , with duos to watch closely:

  •  Javi Barahona / Gonza Alfonso (TS12) 
  •  Javi García / José Jiménez (TS13) 
  •  David Gala / Iñigo Jofre (TS14) 
  •  Victor Ruiz / Sanyo Gutiérrez (TS15) 
  •  Diestro / Maxi Sánchez Blasco (TS16) 
  •  Álvaro Cepero / Pablo García (TS20) 
  •  Lamperti / Abud (qualifying) 

 A temporary association to follow 

Also worth noting is the presence of  Jairo Bautista / Teo Zapata , brought together on an ad hoc basis following the injury of  Lucas Campagnolo .

An impromptu pairing, but one that could cause problems in this tournament.

 An ideal tournament to test yourself 

Given this context, the  Newgiza P2  becomes a real  observation area .

Between :

  • pairs being broken in
  • landmarks to find quickly
  • and a still fragile hierarchy

The initial impressions will be crucial.

Some associations could quickly become established… others may only last a few weeks.

One thing is sure:  The Egyptian tournament will set the tone for the rest of the season. .

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 !
