Le world top 150 decides to boycott the Cancun P2 ! A worrying situation for players, fans and promoters. Unless there is a turnaround, the next professional step at Mexico should experience a scenario similar to that of the Gijon P2, with the total absence of players from world top 100 and only a few representatives of the top 150.

General fed up: a massive boycott hits Premier Padel !

In the image of Pablo Lijó, 49rd player in the world, many players denounce the behavior of Premier Padel and believe that they have been misled by international authorities, in particular Premier Padel and International Federation of Padel. As the Spanish player explained, if the P1 and majors do not seem directly concerned by this boycott, the tournaments of FIP Tour could soon be in the sights of disgruntled players.

His message received massive support within the padel community, reflecting a real malaise in the professional circuit. Several players spoke out in favor of his fight, reinforcing the magnitude of the movement.

Many players came to approve and support Pablo Lijó in his approach:

  • Miguel Gonzalez
  • Thomas Leygue
  • Fede Mourino
  • Lucas Campagnolo
  • Lucas Bergamini
  • Martín Di Nenno
  • Rama Valenzuela
  • Jon sanz
  • Gonzalo Rubio
  • Jesús Moya Sos
  • Carlos Perez Cabeza
  • etc.

At the Women, if the best players have not yet adopted the same approach, some would clearly have liked a similar movement to see the light of day, like Teresa Navarro who supports Pablo Lijo.
