After several weeks of tension and forfeits,  the circuit Premier Padel finally finds all its players  on the occasion of  Miami P1 , the first tournament in the history of the circuit in  USA . With the  return of the world's best , the male and female tables promise  a high-level show , marked by several highly anticipated posters.

 Tapia and Coello favorites, but competition is growing 

At men's,  Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia , recent  winners in Riyadh , arrive with the status of  world number 1 and big favorites However, their path could be strewn with pitfalls.  Paquito Navarro and Lucas Bergamini  stand in their way  in the quarter-finals , While  Chingotto and Galán , who will want to redeem themselves after their defeat in the quarter-finals in Saudi Arabia, could find  Di Nenno and Garrido  at this same stage.

The champions of  Cancun P2 ,  Franco Stupaczuk and Juan Lebrón , could face, as soon as they enter the competition,  Leo Augsburger and Pablo Cardona , a pair capable of  overthrow the favorites  as they had done against Chingotto and Galán in Riyadh. Finally,  Yanguas and Nieto , which are gaining momentum, could cross paths with  Tello and Libaak , whom they had beaten in the quarter-finals in Riyadh.

 The long-awaited return of Bea González and Claudia Fernández 

In the  female painting ,  Ariana Sánchez and Paula Josemaría , still installed on the  throne of world padel , are the big favorites. Their path could cross that of  Ustero and Alonso , in quarter.

At the bottom of the table,  Gemma Triay and Delfina Brea , barely  sacred in Cancun , will have the mission of confirming and  continue to collect points  on Sánchez and Josemaría. They will make their entrance against  Noemi Aguilar and Teresa Navarro , or  Marta Barrera De La Fuente and Marta Caparros Maldonado . A rematch of the final of  Cancún  could well be played in the semi-final against  Marta Ortega and Sofia Araujo .

The other big news of the tournament is  the return of Bea González and Claudia Fernández , absent in Cancun. The Andalusian and the Madrilenian will be keen to find the  competition pace , and will start against  Sofia Saiz and Marina Lobo , or  Raquel Eugenio Barrera and Maria Eulalia Rodriguez Abajo We could see a clash in the semi-final between  Ariana Sánchez and Paula Josemaría  et  Bea González and Claudia Fernández , a first this season. For their part,  Marta Ortega and Sofia Araujo , finalists in Mexico, will enter the track against  the winners of the duel Caldera / Goenaga vs Cánovas / Velasco .

 A tournament with a pre-season atmosphere 

Ce  Miami P1  will be  the first tournament where all the players on the circuit will be present , after the  boycott of Gijón and Cancún  by a large part of the world's top. This return to normal thus offers  a real battle at the top , where the best pairs go  to be able to gauge oneself  after more than a month of absence from competition.

While the season had been launched by the  Riyadh P1 , dominated by  Sánchez / Josemaría and Tapia / Coello This  Miami P1 marks a real revival , with an atmosphere of  pre-season within the competition itself . In this context, several pairs will seek to  position themselves as real contenders for the title Including  Chingotto / Galán,  Stupaczuk / Lebrón  and Triay / Brea , who appear to be the most serious challengers to the current number 1s.

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 !
