Spain has been jubilant since this morning and the publication of the new world ranking of padel. Spain is entering a new era of padel.

A few weeks ago, during the world padel young, Spain had won in girls and boys, the 12th edition in Castellon. The young Spanish thumbs had beaten Argentina.

Spain, always Spain!

Until then, however, Argentina dominated the padel world with often more Argentinian representatives than Spaniards in the world top 10. And it was always Latin America in the spotlight in first place in the world.

During the world precedents of padel, Argentina therefore logically beat Spain in the men's category. Argentina lead 10-3 against Spain for the World Championships padel and it remains on 3 consecutive successes. (No winners in Paraguay because of the weather)

But that was before Monday: The new world ranking will remain engraved in the Spanish marble. 3 Spanish players in the world 3 top. And even Spanish 5 in the 10 top against 4 Argentine and 1 Brazilian.

Since Sunday and Monday, we keep talking about the first place in the world for Juan Lebron. But what we see especially is that Spain is preparing the future to try to return to Argentina.

And if the ball changed camps?
