The encounter America vs Europe at padel, it's coming very soon! Indeed, the competition begins this July 29, with very nice people.

As we told you recently, this meeting inspired by the Ryder Cup in golf or the Laver Cup in tennis begins this Thursday in Bastad, Sweden.

Very beautiful people

A competition that is obviously envious since we will find some of the best players in the world. Side America, the selection trained by Gustavo Maquirriain is made up of:

  • Fernando Belasteguin (No.3 WPT; Argentina)
  • Sanyo Gutiérrez (No.4 WPT; Argentina)
  • Agustin Tapia (No.5 WPT; Argentina)
  • Federico Chingotto (No.7 WPT; Argentina)
  • Pablo Lima (No.10 WPT; Brazil)
  • Martin Di Nenno (No.11 WPT; Argentina)
  • Maxi Sanchez (No.12 WPT; Argentina)
  • Miguel Lamperti (# 22 WPT; Argentina)
  • Javier Valdes (No.53 WPT; Chile)
  • Diego Ramos (# 77 WPT; Uruguay)

As for Europe, the coach is none other than Ramiro Choya, and in terms of players, we will have:

  • Ale Galan (No.1 WPT; Spain)
  • Paquito Navarro (No.9 WPT; Spain)
  • Javi Ruiz (No.13 WPT; Spain)
  • Uri Botello (No.16 WPT; Spain)
  • Arturo Coello (# 19 WPT; Spain)
  • Juan Martin Diaz (# 21 WPT; Spain)
  • Miguel Yanguas (No.29 WPT; Spain)
  • Bastien Blanqué (n ° 122 WPT; France)
  • Daniel Windahl (# 132 WPT; Sweden)
  • Simon Vasquez (# 147 WPT; Sweden)

A format designed to offer suspense

The format of the competition should allow us to see completely new teams. Indeed, there will be four games winning one point each on Thursday, three winning two points each on Friday. On Saturday there will first be a meeting winning four points, then a last one offering six points! This will allow the coaches to run on the first matches and build the best team for the last.

The suspense will inevitably be there, since as the organizer says Lisandro Borges to our confreres Olé : “If a team loses the first two days and wins the last two games, they will be champions. It's a particularly entertaining format for fans as it keeps them interested throughout the competition. ”

An exceptional prize-money

We have already spoken about it, so that this tournament is much more than an exhibition tournament, the organizers did not hesitate to put money on the table, 100 euros in this case. Enough to ensure that the players will give their all on the track? Lisandro Borges is convinced of this: “We ask the players to do everything to win, to pull away on every point. This is why we have put in 100 euros in prize money: 000 for the winners and 60 for the others. This will make the competition attractive. ”

We can't wait for it to start!
