Thunder in the world top 100 for women: Spain occupies 75% of the ranking, and Italy overtakes Argentina! No, you are not dreaming. This is a real change that has gradually taken place over the last 10 years.

First, the concentration of international events mainly in Spain during the era of World Padel Tour certainly partly explains this development. But today, with the internationalization of the professional circuit, particularly with Premier Padel and the cessation, for the moment, of the ladies' circuit at A1 Padel, we wonder if there is not a problem.

Argentina, a great country in world padel, considered the second nation behind Spain, is being caught up by the European nations.

Fortunately for her, among the 5 Argentinian players in the top 100, 4 are in the world top 20, which allows them to secure a silver medal at the Worlds.

But be careful, the Italians, with 7 representatives in the top 100, are entering the race. It is also true that many Italian players take advantage of the many tournaments in Italy that are part of the FIP Tour to obtain a ranking that is perhaps sometimes a little overestimated compared to other players. However, the gaps between the best Argentines and players from other nations such as France or Italy are narrowing.

Among the Argentine players, we find in the top 100: Delfina Brea (4), Claude Jensen (12), Virgnia Riera (14), Aranzazu Osoro (17), Julieta Bidahorria (42)

There is not a single Argentine player between 50th and 100th place in the world.
