Le Milan Premier Padel P1 has established itself this season as one of the slowest tournaments on the circuit Premier Padel, favoring long exchanges. This particular rhythm directly influenced the way in which the points were played. Padel Intelligence gives us revealing statistics on each tournament of the year, highlighting the particularly slow conditions of this Milan P1.

A high number of hits per point

The Milan P1 ranks as the 3rd tournament of the season where points require the most moves to be concluded, with an average of 9,08 strokes per point. This means that each exchange requires a methodical construction. This figure places Milan ahead of tournaments like the Major of Paris and P2 from Egypt, also known for their slowness this year.

Less frequent winning points

With long exchanges, the opportunities to score winning points are becoming scarce. Milan is the 5rd tournament of the season where these points were the least frequent, with only 5,4% of shots played becoming winning points. It is ahead of competitions such as the Major of Paris, P2 from Egypt, P2 of Asuncion, and the P1 of Mar del Plata, which also saw very few winning points.

A less present smash

Due to this dynamic, the Smash has become rarer in Milan. Only 15,5% of shots played on a received lob were smashes, making the Milan P1 the 3rd tournament of the season where this statistic is lowest, just behind the P2 from Egypt and P1 of Mar del Plata.

The lob: an essential weapon

The lob plays a central role in Milan. With an average of 27% of shots played per point being lobs, the tournament ranks 2nd in this category, behind the P2 from Egypt. This statistic illustrates the slowness of the tournament, where players favor the lob because of the low proportion of conclusive smashes. In this context, the lob becomes a arme for gamers.

A contrast to rapid tournaments

On the other hand, tournaments like the one in Valladolid show fast playing conditions where the number of strokes per point is much lower, with an average of 6,80 strokes per point. These tournaments favor the winning points and smashs, with 41% of smashes hit on a received lob. Other rapid tournaments also stood out this season, such as the P1 Dubai and P2 of Puerto Cabello, offering playing conditions opposite those of Milan.

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 !
