Padel Magazine - After this Granada International Open which saw the world elite of padel parade through the sports hall, a summary is therefore required on the forces involved. Let's zoom in on these world numbers 1 who won this Granada WPT handily for both women and men.

Carolina Navarro and Cecilia Reiter have not only won this Open but have put out a start of fire by crushing the competition. The closest pursuers in the world ranking have not even managed to reach the last four. Yet there was reason to doubt since they had won only 2 tournaments since the beginning of the season, not to mention the counter-performance that suggested a disruption in the ranking.

But they responded present. They did not miss this opportunity to restore order and clearly have the potential to stay at the top. Facing the twins, Mapi and Majo Sánchez Alayeto, the match was not easy, as each set was hung. The second set was also not far from turning to the advantage of Mapi and Majo since they led 2-5 before seeing the reins of padel join them then pass them and win 6/4 7/5.

"Las Reinas" have indeed consolidated their place.

For men, it was also the world number 1 who won the “Mysticas” trophy at the WPT in Granada. They even did worse by inflicting a 3 set to 0 against their historic rivals Juan Mieres and Pablo Lima. 10 years of domination padel world and the Bela-Diaz pair are still hungry for the title. They want to make history… It's already done.

Winning this match 7 / 6 6 / 4 6 / 3, the Hispano-Argentinian pair has won since Murcia, his 9e title of the season.

The princes have tried ... In vain. How to knock down a wall? The princes will have to answer this question and find the right strategy to beat them. On 55 games played, Bela-Diaz have lost only 3 games: The WPT Madrid against the Princes, in phase of direct elimination in Coruna against the surprising Tamame-Cepero and finally against Cristian Gutiérrez and Matías Díaz in half final of Saint-Marie. And that's all.

In this final of the WPT of Granada, Juan and Bela proved infallible in decisive moments. During the tie-break of the first set, the kings were just a formidable efficiency. Apart from this first set, the princes could not do much.

They accumulate 25 consecutive wins ... We do not see when and how they could lose playing like this.
