The holidays are over on the professional circuit. After a few weeks' break, the  Premier Padel  resumes its rights with the  Madrid P1 The tournament, held at the Movistar Arena, has now been finalized, and the draw promises several exciting matches for both the men's and women's draws.

 Coello / Tapia  et  Galan / Chingotto  find themselves once again in two different halves, while the new associations  Stupaczuk / Sanz  et  Nieto / Yanguas  will make their debut on Premier Padel. For the ladies,  Claudia Fernández / Martina Calvo  will try to continue their excellent momentum, while Alix Collombon / Ksenia Sharifova  inherited an interesting first round.

Coello/Tapia with Lebrón/Augsburger in their half

World number 1  Arturo Coello / Agustín Tapia  will launch their tournament against the winners of the duel  Mouriño / Quílez – Ruiz / Pineda .

Their journey could quickly become complicated as they could find  Maxi Arce / Juan Tello  from the eighth grade onwards. This part of the table also includes  Coki Nieto / Mike Yanguas reformed for this second part of the season.

But the main danger could come in the semi-finals.  Juan Lebrón / Leo Augsburger  evolve in the same half, just like  Javi Leal / Fran Guerrero They are coming off their victory against Coello/Tapia in the Pretoria P1 semi-final, ending their losing streak.  27 consecutive finals  number 1.

A new duel in Madrid would therefore inevitably have a hint of revenge.

Galán / Chingotto with Stupaczuk / Sanz

In the other half,  Alejandro Galán / Federico Chingotto  will start against a pair who came through the qualifiers.

They might then encounter...  Juanlu Esbrí / Sanyo Gutiérrez before a potentially tough quarter-final against  Paquito Navarro / Martin Di Nenno .

The big news is  Franco Stupaczuk / Jon Sanz The new pair will play their first tournament in Madrid. Premier Padel together after having started to find their feet at  FIP Gold of Belgrade .

On paper, the draw could therefore offer us a semi-final.  Galán / Chingotto – Stupaczuk / Sanz .

It should also be noted that the two champions of Madrid 2025,  Leo Augsburger and Martin Di Nenno They will defend their titles separately this time.

Triay / Brea avoid Fernández / Calvo until the final

In the ladies,  Gemma Triay / Delfi Brea  et  Claudia Fernández / Martina Calvo  They were placed in two different halves. Therefore, they can only meet in the final.

The number 1 seeds will start directly in the round of 16 against the winners of the match  Virseda / Fassio – Rodríguez / Dal Pozzo A possible quarter-final against  Alejandra Salazar / Aranza Osoro  could then present themselves, before a potential semi-final against  Ari Sánchez / Andrea Ustero However, these latter could find  Tamara Icardo / Claudia Jensen  from the quarter-finals.

On the other side,  Fernandez / Calvo  They arrive with a lot of confidence. For their first two tournaments together, they reached the  final in Pretoria  before picking up the  title in London .

Madrid will undoubtedly hold a special place for Claudia Fernández. The Madrid player remains on  two consecutive titles in the capital , in 2024 with Gemma Triay and then in 2025 with Bea González. She can therefore achieve a hat trick with  three different partners .

An interesting draw for Collombon/Sharifova

French side,  Alix Collombon / Ksenia Sharifova  may be quite satisfied with their entry into the table.

They will face each other in the first round  a pair from the qualifications , a good opportunity to reach the round of 16.

But what would follow would be of a completely different caliber. In the event of victory, they would regain the  seeded 2 Paula Josemaría / Bea González .

A huge challenge against one of the tournament favorites. González and Josemaría could then face  Marta Ortega / Sofia Araújo  in the quarterfinals, then find  Fernandez / Calvo  in the semifinals.

The scene is now set. Between  New partnerships, potential rematches, and the first major clashes as early as the round of 16. , the resumption of Premier Padel Madrid promises to quickly set the tone for the second half of the season.

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 !
