While all attention has been focused in recent weeks on the  Premier Padel Asunción P2  then  Buenos Aires P1 Another tournament is starting to generate serious buzz:  the FIP Platinum Albania .

Scheduled for:  Tirana, May 26-30 , this tournament of  CUPRA FIP Tour  will finally host a particularly impressive lineup for an off-circuit competition Premier Padel.

 Yanguas / Stupaczuk arrive in Tirana 

The biggest surprise came from the registration of:  Mike Yanguas / Franco Stupaczuk The world's number 3 players registered almost at the last minute and will obviously be the main attractions of the tournament.

This presence confirms the growing interest of the world's best players in certain FIP circuit tournaments.

 A very high-level field 

But Stupa and Yanguas will not be the only big names present in Albania.

We will also find:

  •  Jon Sanz / Coki Nieto 
  •  Javi Leal / Fran Guerrero 
  •  Martin Di Nenno / Jairo Bautista 
  •  Javi Garrido / Lucas Bergamini 
  •  Momo González / Lucas Campagnolo 

A particularly dense plateau that almost resembles certain paintings by Premier Padel.

 Why are there so many stars at a FIP tournament? 

The main appeal of this type of tournament remains:  FIP points .

Le  FIP Platinum  represents, in effect:  the highest category of the CUPRA FIP Tour 

The winners leave with:  300 FIP points .

A particularly significant total, especially at a time when every point counts enormously in the race for world rankings and seeding. Premier Padel.

 The debate surrounding FIP points has been reignited. 

This situation inevitably reignites a debate that has been very much present for several months:  Should the FIP further regulate access to its tournaments? 

Because with the massive presence of the world's best players on certain FIP Platinum programs, many are now wondering about:

  • the balance between the FIP circuit and Premier Padel
  • the difficulty of access for players with smaller budgets
  • and especially the number of points awarded

As a reminder, a FIP Platinum offers:  300 points to winners .

A figure that is starting to get very close to some performances achieved on the circuit Premier Padel.

 A tournament that is likely to generate a lot of discussion 

With such a high-caliber field, the  FIP Platinum Albania  could eventually become:  one of the most followed events of the end of May  and above all a new symbol of the current evolution of the world padel circuit.

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 !
