Le  Miami Premier Padel P1 2026  He not only produced some great finals and a very high level of play, but he also provoked several  interesting movements in the FIP rankings , both in men and women.

And among the week's significant developments, one change in particular stands out:  Paquito Navarro moves back ahead of Franco Stupaczuk .

 Paquito moves ahead of Stupa despite the Argentinian reaching the semi-finals 

This is undoubtedly the most significant movement at the top of the men's rankings.

Thanks to a  quarter-final in Miami  next to  Fran Guerrero ,  Paquito Navarro  climb to the  6th place in the world  and exceeds  Franco Stupaczuk , now  7e .

On paper, this may seem surprising, since  Stupa  nevertheless reached  semi-finals That's one more round than Paquito. But the ranking doesn't just reward the raw performance of the week.

The Argentinian was supposed to defend the  points for its final in Miami in 2025 This ultimately cost him more than expected. As a result, despite a better season this year, he dropped one place.

 Edu Alonso and Álex Arroyo are making progress, the younger generation is still pushing forward 

A little further down the rankings,  Eduardo Alonso  et  Álex Arroyo  They too continue to gain ground.

Both eliminated in  round of 16 in Miami they each win  a square rewarding a certain consistency in this early part of the season.

But the real trend of this update is also the continued rise of the  Next Gen Spanish .

Several young players are continuing their development:

  •  david gala  climb to  33th world rank  ( +2 )
  •  Guille Collado  climbing  35th rank  ( +2 )
  •  Pol Hernández  he too reached the  35th place  ( +1 )
  •  Pablo García  climb to  37th rank  ( +1 )
  •  Manu Castaño  signs the biggest leap with  9 places won , until  66th world rank 

Another player showing consistent improvement:  Maxi Maple which continues to climb and now finds itself  45th in the world  after winning  3 seats .

 Cardona falls despite his return, Tello and Libaak also decline 

Several names stand out among the notable declines.

First  Juan Tello , which slips to  17th world rank .

Then  paul cardona who loses  3 seats  and now finds himself  33th in the world This setback should be put into perspective, as his Miami tournament was primarily a significant milestone.  Expected return to the circuit , after a more difficult period.

But the biggest drop of the week concerns  Tino Libaak .

The young Argentinian loses  11 seats  and falls  54th world rank A fairly significant drop, linked to the management of his points after his injury in 2025. But paradoxically, this phase could also allow him to start again on a more favorable basis in the coming weeks, with fewer points to defend.

 In the women's category, few changes at the top... but Martina Calvo continues to advance. 

In the  women's ranking The movements are a little less spectacular at the top of the table, but some progress remains interesting.

In the  Top 8 There is virtually no major upheaval.

On the other hand, the player who clearly continues to make headlines is  Martina Calvo .

The young Spaniard continues to climb and is now establishing herself as  13th player in the world proof of his steady rise in the hierarchy.

 Goenaga and Caldera are getting closer, the battle is intensifying behind them 

Behind her,  Carmen Goenaga  et  Bea Caldera  They too continue to move closer to the very top spots.

After their  quarter-final in Miami they now point to  17th world rank , in an increasingly crowded area of ​​the rankings.

Further down, several players are also gaining ground:

  •  Marta Barrera  climb to  25th rank 
  •  Lorena Rufo  climbing  26e 
  •  Virginia Riera  reached the  30th place 

Conversely, some are declining slightly, such as:

  •  Aranza Osoro , now  19e 
  •  Jessica castelló which is also falling back in an increasingly tight hierarchy

 Towards a fairly stable ranking before the big events 

With  Qatar Major postponed The circuit will now observe a short break before the  P2 of NewGiza .

And since this is a tournament that distributes  fewer points than a P1 or a Major It is likely that the main lines of the ranking will remain relatively stable in the very short term.

Barring any surprises, the big moves could therefore mostly happen a little later, when the circuit gets closer to events with higher points value.

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 !
