Le  Valladolid Premier Padel P2  is launched. The legendary  Plaza Mayor  This week, it once again becomes the epicenter of world padel for one of the most iconic events on the calendar. The tournament returns to its outdoor setting, with an attendance that is once again expected to be exceptional.

All eyes will be on  Arturo Coello The world number 1 returns to his hometown with the ambition of winning a third consecutive title in Valladolid alongside Agustín Tapia , following their successes in the last two editions.

 A very high-level men's draw 

Coello and Tapia will begin their tournament in the round of 16 against the winners of the duel between  Álex Chozas / Tino Libaak  et  Maxi Sánchez Blasco / Sanyo Gutiérrez .

The main change concerns the No. 3 seed status now held by  Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger who are now ahead  Franco Stupaczuk and Mike Yanguas , relegated to the rank of No. 4 seed.

The top of the table looks particularly competitive, notably with:

  •  Coello / Tapia (1) 
  •  Lebrón / Augsburger (3) 
  •  Coki Nieto / Jon Sanz (5) 
  •  Momo González / Lucas Campagnolo (8) 

The lower section includes:

  •  Galan / Chingotto (2) 
  •  Stupaczuk / Yanguas (4) 
  •  Paquito Navarro / Martin Di Nenno (6) 
  •  Javi Leal / Fran Guerrero (7) 
  •  Tolito Aguirre / Álex Arroyo 

Among the potential quarter-finals, several matchups are already generating excitement:

  •  Coello / Tapia vs Nieto / Sanz 
  •  Lebrón/Augsburger vs. González/Campagnolo 
  •  Stupaczuk/Yanguas vs. Leal/Guerrero 
  •  Di Nenno / Navarro vs. Galán / Chingotto 

Another attraction of the week,  Rodrigo Coello Arturo's younger brother, has received a wildcard and will play in the tournament alongside the Swede.  Adam Axelsson .

 The female table  

In the ladies,  Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay  arrive as the number 1 seed, ahead  Paula Josemaria and Bea Gonzalez who were on an impressive run of five consecutive titles before Rome and Valencia.

The other favorites will be:

  •  Ari Sánchez / Andrea Ustero (3) 
  •  Claudia Fernández / Sofia Araújo (4) 
  •  Tamara Icardo / Claudia Jensen (5) 

The potential quarter-finals already promise some very exciting matches:

  •  Brea/Triay vs Ortega/Calvo 
  •  Guinart / Virseda vs Sánchez / Ustero 
  •  Fernández/Araújo vs Salazar/Alonso 
  •  Icardo/Jensen vs Josemaría/González 

 A rather favorable draw for Alix Collombon 

The French  Alix Collombon associated with the Russian  Ksenia Sharifova will begin her tournament against the Spaniard  Marta Caparrós Maldonado  and to Argentina  Julieta Evangelina Bidahorria .

On paper, this is an affordable first round for the Franco-Russian pair, who can legitimately aim for a place in the round of 16.

If they win, Collombon and Sharifova will regain the 7th seeds.  Alejandra Salazar and Alejandra Alonso A print run that undoubtedly appears as  one of the most favorable possible  among the top seeds, and which could offer the Frenchwoman a great opportunity to reach the quarter-finals in the unique atmosphere of the Plaza Mayor in Valladolid.

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 !
