There are only two tournaments left in the World Padel Tour to play before the Master Final 2023, scheduled for December 14 to 17 in Barcelona. And if many players can no longer qualify, others still have a chance of entering the 16 who will participate in this end-of-season tournament. We take stock.
Will the Alayetos be able to retire together to Barcelona?
Among the girls, it's very hot, since Veronica Virseda, 17th, is only 45 points behind the Alayeto twins. The latter must work harder if they want to end their career in beauty and together at the Palau Sant Jordi. Indeed, if Virseda passes them, there will be a draw to see who Mapi or Majo will play the Master Final. In front, Sainz and to a lesser extent Osoro, must not miss too much... Behind, Patty Llaguno seems somewhat behind but still has her chances!
12. Castle | 5222 point |
13. Osoro | 4395 point |
14. Sainz | 4115 point |
15. Majo Alayeto | 3625 point |
15. Mapi Alayeto | 3625 point |
17. Virseda | 3580 point |
18. Llaguno | 3150 point |
19. Churches | 2505 point |
Diestro forced to exploit
Among the men, it is less tense since the 17th Fernando Belasteguin announced that he was withdrawing from the next tournaments. He will therefore not be in the fight for the first sixteen places. Which means that Coki Nieto, currently 16th, is 345 points ahead of his first pursuer, José Antonio Diestro. But behind, several players are close, Gonzalo Rubio, Lucho Capra, and even Pincho Fernandez hope to be able to play spoilsport. Barring huge surprises, Garrido and Tello should not be worried. Yanguas, on the other hand, who is not going to Mexico, will have to do the work in Finland to definitively secure his place!
13. Tello | 4350 point |
14. Garrido | 4205 point |
15. Yanguas | 3850 point |
16. Nieto | 3340 point |
17. Belasteguin (injured) | 3170 point |
18. Diestrus | 2995 point |
19. Rubio | 2834 point |
20. Goat | 2805 point |
21. Fernandez | 2755 point |
