Back to its beginnings

Alejandra Salazar is a true padel legend with an impressive track record: she has been world champion 5 times, Spanish champion 8 times and has 50 titles to her name in the World Padel Tour.

At the top of the world padel for 3 years with Gemma Triay, she is today considered one of the best female padel players in history, if not the best.

Before joining the Menorquina, she teamed from 2015 to 2018 with Marta Marrero, before linking up with one of her current biggest rivals: Ariana Sanchez.

But after two successful years, Ari and Ale have decided to go their separate ways, with the Madridista deciding to teaming up with Gemma Triay in early 2021.

Stronger than ever with Triay?

If we can say one thing, it's good that Alejandra Salazar and Gemma Triay found each other well. Indeed, since the beginning of their association, they have established themselves as the strongest pair and have finished in first place twice in a row. Today the two women are engaged in a superb battle for the throne with Paula Josemaria and Ariana Sanchez. Which of these two pairs will finish 2023 on top?

Brand face Bullpadel

The spanish brand Bullpadel, born in 2005, decided to make of Salazar one of its ambassadors of choice. Ale also has its signature pala: la Bullpadel flow.

This padel racket combining flexibility and comfort is today a must-have on the racket market. It adapts even more to all players, whether beginners, intermediates or professionals.
