Le  Italy Major Premier Padel 2025  began this week at the Foro Italico in Rome, transformed for the occasion from the red of clay to the blue of padel courts. This is the second Major of the season after Doha, and one of the most anticipated tournaments on the circuit.

Men's side: shocks from the first round

In the men's competition, several matches deserve special attention from the first round. We will notably find  Thomas Leygue  et  Jesus Moya  facing the Portuguese brothers  Miguel and Nuno Deus The winners of this confrontation will be entitled to a big piece:  Coello and Tapia , the world number 1.

We will also note the beginnings of the new association  Moyano / Head  face  Mouriño / Fernandez , as well as the duel between  Lijó / Belluati  et  Abbate / Montiel .

The top seeds are entering the second round, and some matches are already making people salivate:

  •  Chingotto/Galan , winners in Buenos Aires, could cross paths  Cardona / Augsburger  in quarters.
  • A potential semi-final between  Stupa / Lebron  et  Chingotto / Galan  is already taking shape...
  • More shocks to come:  Tello / Di Nenno  in the same part as  Yanguas / N i eto  et  Guerrero / Leal .
  • We could have a remake of the Buenos Aires final between  Tapia / Coello  et  Paquito / Bergamini  in quarter.

Enticing posters from the first rounds

In the ladies,  Léa Godallier  et  Laura Lujan , who have just won the FIP Silver Bandol, are directly qualified for the main draw. They will face a pair from the qualifications in the first round. In the event of victory, they could then meet  Osoro / Calvo , a pair in shape.

 Alix Collombon , associated with the Spanish  Martinez , inherits a bye in the first round and could face  Polo / Aguilar  ou  Varo / Perez  to the second.

The women's tournament will also offer us a duel between  Casali / Gallardo  et  Las Heras / Marchetti , two Italian-Spanish pairs. We will also follow the clash of the “Martas”:  Barrera / Caparrós  salary.  Arellano / Montes .

Finally, the world's number one pair  Josemaría / Sanchez  will start their campaign in the last 16. In their half of the table also appear  Bea González / Claudia Fernández , which could result in a semi-final identical to that of Buenos Aires, but before that they will have a complicated quarter where they will logically cross paths with  Ortega / Alonso .  Triay / Brea  at the bottom of the table could cross  Araujo / Ustero  in the semi-finals.

Playing Conditions and Expectations

As is often the case in Rome, the outdoor playing conditions, with their heat and wind, could hold some surprises, especially for the top seeds. Prestigious names like  Carlos Pozzoni ,  Ari Sánchez , or  Ale Galán  were present at the draw, highlighting the importance of this Major.

Benjamin Dupouy

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 !
