Padel is entering a new era. Thanks to Padel Intelligence BV, founded by Vianney DuboisStatistics are becoming a central tool of Premier Padel. During the Barcelona Master FinalsWe met the man who analyzes every point, every feedback, every trend… and who is starting to influence coaches, players and even the public.

Au Palau sant jordi, Padel Intelligence is testing an experimental partnership with Premier Padel et Red Bull : a decisive step that could transform the use of data as early as 2026.

Why are Padel Intelligence was essential at the Master Finals

According to Vianney Dubois, his team's presence at the event serves several key objectives:

• Testing a new statistical system for Red Bull and Premier Padel
• Provide unique analyses to players and coaches on the circuit
• Utilize a full year of data for end-of-season reports
• Understanding the real trends at the very highest level

"We take all the stats from all the matches" Premier Padel of the season. Here, Barcelona is an ideal time to test our tools and exchange with the players,” explains Vianney.

Data is no longer a luxury: it's changing players' careers

For a long time, padel evolved without statistics. But those days are over.

Vianney admits it:
"I created Padel "It was a gamble for me, because I didn't understand why I was losing certain points. Then we realized that nobody in the world of padel had any statistics."

Today, his analyses are useful:

1. The general public

To better understand the game, recognize tactical patterns, and focus on the players.

2. The pros

To identify areas for improvement, adjust strategies, and anticipate changes in partners.

Data is becoming a decision-making tool: choosing a partner or working on a weakness is now done on evidence… not just on gut feeling.

The number that immediately reveals a player's level

He is often asked: What statistic differentiates an amateur from a player in the world's Top 10?

His answer is crystal clear.

The rate of points lost upon return from service.

  • 12-13% points “given” upon return to the players of the Master Finals
  • Almost 20% as an amateur
  • A much higher proportion of direct errors among amateurs

"With just this percentage, I can already tell what level a player is," says Vianney Dubois.

The higher the level, the fewer points are "given".
At the Master Finals, Every point must be earned, never offered.

Amateur analysis or elite analysis: the same pleasure

Contrary to what one might think, Vianney doesn't just analyze the greatest champions.

"I get just as much pleasure from analyzing an amateur match."
He even cites a French player he's been following recently: Laura Buteau, which shows both room for improvement… and an already solid level.

Why data will explode in 2026

The test conducted in Barcelona could herald a revolution on the circuit:

  • More live statistics available
  • More enriched content for the public
  • New tools for players
  • A better understanding of the game by the media
  • Possible integration into Red Bull TV broadcasts

Padel Intelligence could become an official part of the circuit as early as next year.

A turning point for professional padel

With a full season's worth of data, Padel Intelligence concludes the year with a unique vision:
• the dominant tactical patterns
• the structural strengths and weaknesses of the pairs
• the key elements in modern padel
• the criteria that (really) influence separations and new partnerships

This Master Finals is not just a spectacle: it is a giant analysis ground that is already being used to prepare for the 2026 season.
