Le  women's transfer market  It also moves.  Claudia Fernández / Sofia Araújo  et  Marta Ortega / Martina Calvo  will no longer play together after the  Málaga P1 The two pairs will separate and exchange partners:  Claudia Fernández  will evolve with  Martina Calvo , While  Marta Ortega  will find  Sofia Araújo .

This change comes in a fairly clear context: the results were not up to expectations at the start of the season.

Results that are too inconsistent

For  Claudia Fernández / Sofia Araújo However, the season had offered some great things, notably a final at the  Valence P1 But behind that, the pair too often stumbled in the quarter-finals.  Bordeaux P2  confirmed this difficulty once again, with a defeat in the quarter-finals against  Tamara Icardo / Claudia Jensen , future champions of the tournament.

Same observation for  Marta Ortega / Martina Calvo Their semi-final at  Valencia  They had shown potential, but the rest of their performance was too inconsistent, with several eliminations in the round of 16. In Bordeaux, they again fell at this stage, an insufficient result for a pair who had higher ambitions.

The four players have therefore decided to embark on new projects.

Ortega finds Araújo

 Marta Ortega  will find  Sofia Araújo , a partner she already knows well. The two players had shared the track at the beginning of the 2025 season, with several solid results, including a final at the  Cancun P2  and numerous semi-finals.

On paper, this partnership makes sense. Ortega brings his physicality, his reading of the game, and his ability to build attacks. Araújo brings his power and impact on the left flank. It's a well-established pairing that could quickly rediscover its rhythm.

They should leave as  seeded 5  at the upcoming tournaments.

Fernández / Calvo, the young generation pair

The other new association will inevitably be closely watched:  Claudia Fernández / Martina Calvo . At only  20 years  et  18 years They represent two of the biggest talents of the new generation.

This pair will be young, ambitious, and potentially very dangerous if they quickly find their rhythm. Fernández has already shown she can maintain a very high level against the best, while Calvo continues to progress rapidly on the circuit.

They should be  4 seeded  in the upcoming tournaments, with a clear objective: to establish themselves permanently at the top of the table and avoid getting stuck in those quarter-finals or round of 16s that have hampered their previous projects.

After  Malaga A new dynamic will therefore emerge in the women's game. It remains to be seen which of these two partnerships will find the right formula most quickly. Both projects will launch from Pretoria P1.

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 !
