A few weeks from the  Premier Padel Finals 2024  in Barcelona (December 18-22), tension is rising among the pairs still in the race for qualification. With only two tournaments remaining,  Mexico , in progress, and  Milan  (from December 2 to 8), the final sprint promises to be intense to secure the last points of the  Race to Barcelona .

A picture still uncertain among men

We will not talk about the  Tapia-Coello ,  Chingotto-Galan ,  Stupaczuk-Yanguas , or  Di Nenno-Lebron , assured of treading the tracks of Barcelona. Even if collecting additional points remains crucial for these pairs, it is today around the fifteenth place that each unit counts.

With  GNP Mexico Major  and the  Milano P1  on the horizon,  3 000 points  remain in play, and anything is still possible. After his victory at  FIP Platinium of Mexico ,  Alex Ruiz  intends to consolidate its recent entry into the  top 16 , While  Lucas Bergamini , currently 17th, will have to fight to get back into the qualifying places. The Brazilian has only  52 points  late on  paul cardona  (15th), who will therefore have to go and get as many points as possible alongside  Paquito Navarro .

Two other players also remain in contention for qualification to Barcelona:

  •  Alex Arroyo , 19th in the ranking, but only  60 points  from 16th place.
  •  Sanyo Gutiérrez , 18th, who also hopes to secure his ticket to the final tournament.

The fight for the last tickets looks set to be more open than ever.
