In a summer marked by a veritable revolving door of partners on the women's circuit, Bea Caldera and Carmen Goenaga have made a strong choice: that of continuity. One of the few pairs in the extended top 8 to have remained together approaches the 2026 season with ambition and stability. Having remained on the verge of the Barcelona Finals By 2025, the two young Spanish women now want to take this step and establish themselves permanently among the best.

Continuity as a guiding principle

While many partnerships broke up during the off-season, Carmen Goenaga and Bea Caldera never questioned their project. This decision was fueled by consistent progress and a shared sense of mutual growth.

"At no point did we doubt we would continue together. The end of the season was very good and we are growing as a team."

A clear-sighted, yet ambitious speech. The objective is clear: break into the top 8, a step that they narrowly missed last season.

"We want to finish in the top eight. Last year, we came very close."

320 points away from a dream called the Barcelona Finals

The 2025 season will be remembered as the season of near misses. In a close finish, Carmen Goenaga finished 17th in the ranking, just 320 point from the sixteenth qualifying position for the Premier Padel Barcelona Finals, ultimately secured by Marina Guinart.

A tiny gap, which leaves as much frustration as hope for the future. Because when the pair finds its rhythm, its potential is obvious. Their final at the P2 in Bordeauxhad perfectly illustrated their ability not only to compete with, but to beat the best.

This consistency, still too intermittent in 2025, now constitutes the main area for improvement for 2026. With a solid foundation, an unchanged project, and a clearly stated ambition, Caldera and Goenaga are heading into the new season with one idea in mind: to no longer remain on the sidelines, but finally enter the big leagues..
