Le World Padel Tour would he be metamorphosing with the arrival of Alex Corretja ? One thing is certain, for a few weeks, the WPT is already difficult to recognize.

Threats, carrots, promises, silence: all strategies have failed.

What if the path of lucidity was the best option?

Alex Corretja, the last card of the WPT

We had lost our faith a little with a general communication from the WPT that was widely decried by the community of padel and which did not really inspire confidence.

We have the feeling that the arrival of Alex Corretja is somewhat the last card played by the WPT. Constrained and forced, will the circuit financed by Estrella Damm end up being more human? Has he definitely said goodbye to his former professional circuit monopoly? Has he finally realized that his general behavior over the past few years has greatly annoyed the players, the fans, but also the media?

Alex Corretja: “The WPT is the best circuit!”

The successive slaps, the legal setbacks and the fear of disappearing forever will they have overcome his stubbornness? Or does he simply realize that he no longer has a choice?

“The right to participate in other circuits”

Unheard of at World Padel Tour ! Through Alex Corretja, the Tour agrees that players can “participate in other circuits, other tournaments".

An innocuous sentence on paper and yet it is a bomb because until then, the WPT formally prohibited players from going to competing circuits, even threatening them with very heavy fines. Here we can clearly see a change of position.

To the point where fans have fun: “Finally a coherent person World Padel Tourexplains javijax's tweet:

WPT ready to drop exclusivity with players?

The words of the Spaniard in SER chain are particularly interesting. Will Alex Corretja succeed in changing the WPT? In one year can he manage to forget the many faults of the WPT?

The one who took the lead in the communication and renewal of the WPT could not be more explicit:

"It's true that they [the players] had an exclusive and in the future we will have to see what to do. We understand that players also have the right to participate in other circuits or other tournaments".

Le World Padel Tour doesn't have a choice anyway. But here, the former official professional circuit has decided to bow down and simply admit and describe a situation known to all: the WPT is no longer alone at the top of the padel professional and we will have to deal with it.

Alex Corretja: with and against the WPT?

A sentence challenges Alex Corretja's relationship with the WPT board:

"I do my best to make the World Padel Tour that players made various requests for a number of reasons."

We understand that the presidency of the WPT and Alex Corretja are not always on the same wavelength, that there are still obstacles and that he is trying to change the situation.

Will he get there in time?
