After the FIP Platinum in Veracruz, it's time for the big event of the end of the season: the Mexico Major 2025A key step towards the world number 1 ranking, for both men and women. The draw for main tables announces an electrifying week in Acapulco, with big shocks in prospect.

Men: Galán / Chingotto face their last chance

The struggle for the position of global 1 number Is simple : Alejandro Galán / Federico Chingotto They can no longer afford any mistakes. A victory at the Mexico Major is essential to keep their hopes alive for the throne before the Barcelona Finals.

But their journey promises to be anything but easy. As early as the round of 16, they could face Edu Alonso / Juan Tello, before a potential quarter against Lucas Bergamini / Javi LealAnd we could be treated to a semi-final against the pair everyone's waiting for: Juan Lebrón / Leo Augsburger.

This highly anticipated new duo makes its debut in Acapulco. Having dropped out of the top four due to their recent partnership, they face a tricky draw with a theoretical quarter-final against Coki Nieto / Mike YanguasA formidable opponent, but probably the most manageable of the top four seeds. The winner could then face Galán/Chingotto in a semi-final already touted as one of the tournament's highlights.

On the other side of the board, the world number 1 Arturo Coello / Agustín Tapia They advance with their current status, but they too will have to fight. A possible semi-final confrontation against... Superpibes Franco Stupaczuk / Martín Di Nenno, now seeded 3rd, looms. But before that, if the expected results hold true, Coello and Tapia will have to overcome Momo Gonzalez and Fran Guerrero in the quarter-finals, while the Superpibes have a potential quarter-final against Sanz / Navarro.

Women: a multi-layered battle

In the women's category, the rankings remain open, even if Gemma Triay / Delfi Brea occupy a comfortable position. Their objective is clear: to definitively secure their place in world number 1But their path could be fraught with obstacles, including a potential quarter-final clash against Marta Ortega / Tamara Icardo, a confident pair and a potential semi-final against Ustero / Araujo.

On their side, Ari Sánchez / Paula Josemaría only have the title left to stay in the race. Their draw suggests a potentially explosive quarter-final against Claudia Jensen / Alejandra Alonsobefore a possible semi-final against Bea González / Claudia Fernándezin great form at the end of this season.

Further down, Andrea Ustero / Sofía Araújo will also be under pressure, with a possible confrontation against Goenaga / Caldera In the quarter-finals, they too are in search of valuable points to secure a place in the Finals.

French women to watch

Two French women will be involved in the women's main draw :

  • Alix Collombon / Jana Montes will face the wildcards Martínez / BlancoA match that looks easy on paper, where the Franco-Spanish pair are the favorites. A victory would see them return to... Marina Guinart / Veronica Virseda in the next round.
  • Léa Godallier / Giorgia Marchetti will challenge Bellver / Dal PozzoA balanced duel where the Frenchwoman and the Italian are slight favorites. Qualification would then send them to face... Caldera / Goenaga.

One Major to decide everything

Between new projects, the return of the Superpibes, maximum pressure on the leaders and last chances for many, the Mexico Major This is shaping up to be a turning point. Every match, every point, every game can change the game.

In Acapulco, padel won't just be played with a racket… but also with a calculator. And in this intense competition, only the strongest will survive.

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 !
