Le Boycott of P2 of Gijón marked a turning point on the circuit Premier Padel. While Cristian Gutiérrez, Alias Sanyito, evolved alongsideAlfonso à Riyadh, the circuit was shaken by a revolt of the players. The Top 100 in the world have decided to do not register in protest against the new rules imposed by the organization.

Full support for the mobilization

Gutiérrez does not hide his support for the movement:

“I am glad that we decided to take action. It is an action for the good of all players.”

According to him, this collective initiative could weigh on the future of the circuit, provided that the top 20 players keep the pressure on.

“If the best on the circuit continue to fight for everyone, then maybe some things will change. I don’t want the players to run the circuit, but at least they can give their opinion and we can find compromises.”

Cristian Gutiérrez: “I signed with A1 Padel because Premier Padel “becoming more and more difficult”

Opportunists in the ranking

While Gutierrez fully supports the boycott, he regrets that some players have chosen to take advantage of it to improve their ranking, registering in Gijón despite the absence of the best.

“Unfortunately, some have taken advantage of the situation. I could do the same: I leave Premier Padel, so I could tell myself that it no longer concerns me and that I can take advantage of it. But we think first of the good of padel. If this mobilization has an impact in the years to come, then we will have been right.”

By joining the circuit A1 Padel, Cristian Gutiérrez turn the page of Premier Padel, but keeps a close eye on the evolution of the sport. This protest movement could well redefine the future of the circuit and the role of players in future decisions.
