The women's circuit continues to reorganize itself before the P2 in Asunción, and a new association is attracting the spotlight: Jessica castelló et Lorena Rufo are now teaming up. A unique pair… but not entirely. Because the two Spanish women are also partners in life , a link that could well turn into a strategic advantage on the ground.
A complicity to exploit
On paper, this union has everything to seduce: excellent understanding, perfect knowledge of each other's game , and quality supervision with Miguel Sciorilli at the helm. The challenge is simple: gain consistency to take the next step. Because while both Castelló and Rufo have already shown great things on the circuit, they still lack the consistency to aim higher.
A separation that costs a lot
But behind this new project also lies a more cruel accounting reality for Jessica Castelló. By separating from Aranza Osoro , the Spanish player falls out of the top 8 seeds A drop in the rankings which will have a direct effect from Asunción: with Lorena Rufo, they will be seeded number 9 , just behind the duo Jensen / Icardo , now propelled to eighth place.
This position means in particular a more complex draw , without protection against the best from the eighth round. A reality that makes the urgency to perform even stronger for this new pair.
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 !
