This is important news this week. One of the two Sanchez Alayeto twins, world number 1 in World Padel Tour is injured and will not be able to start the season alongside her sister Majo. Bad news for the padel, but maybe a good one for their opponents.

All players supported this week the announcement of Mapi Sanchez Alayeto.

Monday, after receiving a bad news medical, the player number 1 world announced having to be operated on a tendon of the right shoulder.

Since half of last season, we've been able to see Mapi strapped on the tournaments. This pain is not new. She went increasing this end of the season. After the end of year rest, she resumes training, but the pain is too intense. Mandatory operation or significant risk of tearing the tendon. Operated today, Thursday, it will remain 4 months behind the competition.

This news, bad for Mapi, may be good for other players who have just formed new pairs. Playing against the binoculars was really complicated. This week, with this announcement, the sky has cleared. On the other hand, Majo will have to look for a new partner, not easy at the beginning of the season ... and why not a Frenchwoman?

Wish Mapi a good recovery and a quick return on the WPT carpets.
