Le Global padel 2022 ended in Dubai with the victory of the Argentine team in the final. Fernando Belasteguin and his teammates got their revenge on the Spaniards, who won in Qatar in 2021, in an epic confrontation. The public who came en masse to the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium was also able to appreciate all the talent of the best players in the world, with points of madness throughout the final. We also salute the quality of the organization of this World Cup. Indeed, the players will have been pampered all week with very high-level conditions, and this is all the more impressive when you know that the United Arab Emirates will not have had only one month to prepare !
Among the girls, Spain has confirmed its hold on the padel world by defeating the Albiceleste once again in the final.
Behind the two heavyweights of the planet padel, Italy did it again in the women's category with a new medal, but had more difficulty in the men's category. On the French side, it's exactly the opposite: the boys created a surprise by winning the bronze medal, while the girls experienced a complicated competition.
For its big comeback, Portugal confirmed that it was a strong nation in the padel worldwide, just like Belgium, which has made good progress in just one year. Sweden also had a great tournament for the girls, while waiting, we hope, for the return of their men's team for the next edition! The biggest disappointment of the tournament concerns Brazil, who lose four places in the women's and two in the men's compared to last year.
Behind, we generally find the South American nations, which now lag behind Europe. The nations of the Africa-Asia zone bring up the rear.
