Padel Magazine - What is the WPT? Who are the best players in padel in the world ? Catch-up session in this article.

Padel Magazine dedicate this article to the current season of World Padel Tour.

19 tournaments are on the program this year and we are at a little over half of the season since eleven tournaments have already taken place.

It is interesting to note that the circuit World Padel Tour does not take place exclusively in Spain. 2 tournaments are really international: 1 stage in Lisbon (Portugal) and 1 in Buenos Aires (Argentina). Hopefully French cities will be affected in the near future!

Coming back to tournaments and results, we can see that three pairs have lifted the winner's trophy:

[checklist] Juan Martin DIAZ and Fernando BELASTEGUIN, [/ checklist]

 

[checklist] Pablo LIMA and Juani MIERES [/ checklist]

 

[checklist] and finally the surprise team Matias DIAZ and Cristian GUTIERREZ. [/ checklist]

 

If three teams have won at least one tournament for the moment, it is obviously Juan Martin and Fernando, world number 1, who stand out from their competitors: they participated in 8 finals for 7 victories! It is during the 5th stage of the season, in Madrid, that they will taste the defeat in the final, against Mieres and Lima.

Let's talk a bit about this Mieres Lima pair. We can say that they are extremely consistent since they have reached the final stage 9 times! But out of these 9 finals, they only managed to win 2. Once as seen previously in Madrid, the other in Santa Maria against the pair Gutièrrez Diaz. On 6 occasions, they found themselves in the final against Diaz and Belasteguin, and lost on 5 occasions. We can therefore say that this is their pet peeve!

Finally the 3th team, the one we did not really expect at this level, composed of Cristian Gutiérrez and Matias Diaz. They managed to hoist 4 once in the final and raised 2 times the trophy.

We will come back to this pair in a future article because they practice a Padel distinct from other teams.

To conclude, let us mention that another team managed to reach a final, early in the season in Caceres, it is Sanyo Gutierrez and Maxi Sanchez.
