Always attentive to the evolution of padel worldwide,  Sanyo Gutiérrez  closely follows the new generation. When asked about the players who have impressed him recently, the former world number one notably mentioned the young 17-year-old prodigy, whom he considers one of the current revelations of the circuit and whose approach to padel he praises.

A player who is already attracting attention

Sanyo Gutiérrez is not only one of the most experienced players on the circuit; he is also known for his keen eye for the game. Whether on or off the court, the Argentinian enjoys analyzing the evolution of padel and the emerging player profiles.

During an interview given to the media  Twenty Ten He was asked about the young female players who impress him the most today. His gaze quickly fell on  Martina Calvo , the Navarrese player who made a name for herself during last season.

For Sanyo, what distinguishes the young Spaniard is not only her level of play, but above all her understanding of the sport.

An understanding of the game that's rare at that age

Only at  17 years Martina Calvo already demonstrates a particularly advanced understanding of the game. According to the Argentinian, this ability to grasp situations on the court remains quite rare among such young players.

"She understands very well what she should do and what she shouldn't do," explains Sanyo, who even speaks of a rather unusual profile in padel.

The Argentinian player also highlights an essential point in the progression of young talents: managing the timing between results and learning.

In some cases, success comes very early and can mask the steps necessary to build a career. For him, Calvo's development, on the contrary, seems to follow a more balanced path.

A very promising generation

Martina Calvo is not the only young player attracting attention. Women's padel is seeing the emergence of several precocious talents, including  Andrea Ustero , already established among the most promising players on the circuit.

With players like these, many observers are already envisioning the future of the world rankings. Their careers are still unfolding, but their talent and maturity suggest trajectories that could take them very far in the coming years.

One thing is for sure: with profiles like Martina Calvo or Andrea Ustero, the future of women's padel seems to be in good hands.
