If the best pairs in the world are indeed present in Mendoza, several Top 40 players have decided not to go to Argentina.

Top 20 players among the absentees…

Premier Padel can be delighted to have recently succeeded in recovering the number 3 pair in the world, Gutiérriez / Tapia, and one of the most charismatic players on the circuit, Miguel Lamperti. If these three Argentinians are added to the rest of the gratin of the padel international, present since the beginning of the new official circuit of the FIP, some absentees are to be deplored in Mendoza.

Indeed, several Spaniards, who are nevertheless part of the best players in the world and who were there in Madrid, did not make the trip to Mendoza. We think of Javi Garrido (17), Javi Rico (18), Coki Nieto (19), Miguel Yanguas (20), José Rico (26), Alex Arroyo (30), Javi Leal (37)…

A break in a very long year

Behind these Top 40 players, almost all the pairs that we usually find in previas have chosen not to travel to Argentina. A decision that we finally understand quite easily. Indeed, in a year marked by a huge number of tournaments, some players preferred to rest and gain strength for the rest of the season. For others, it is of course the plane tickets, necessarily more expensive than when it comes to traveling in Europe, which was the reason for the package...

In the end, although it is obviously a shame not to see all the best at work, the Argentinian public will still be able to enjoy themselves in front of the biggest stars of the padel worldwide!
