One month before the resumption of World Padel Tour and after a year 2019 dominated by the pair Marta Ortega / Marta Marrero, who are the favorites for 2020?

As with the men, the first two players in the ranking of the World Padel Tour have decided to go their separate ways. “Las Martas” will still have to fight against their runners-up Ariana Sanchez and Alejandra Salazar, but also against each other from now on.

Ariana Sanchez and Alejandra Salazar

The players coached by Manu Martin, who finished the season in second place, will try to make the most of the separation of Marta Ortega and Marta Marrero. The ones we call “AS”, who won the Final Master, will undoubtedly be one of the strongest pairs in 2020.

Majo and Mapi Alayeto

The twins, who have had a season below their standards, the fault of Mapi's injury, attack 2020 with a revenge spirit which should allow them to come back to the fore. The Alayetos, who know each other by heart, are clearly among the favorites for the number 1 spot.

Marta Marrero and Paula Josemaria

The association between the world number one Marta Marrero and Paula Josemaria is scary! The mix between the experience of Marrero, 37, 200 WPT games won, and the passion of Josemaria, 23, left-handed, current number 6 in the ranking, should spark! If these two very aggressive players manage to get along well on the field, they could be a real nightmare for their opponents.

Marta Ortega and Beatriz Gonzalez

The other world number one, Marta Ortega, will be associated with the very young Bea Gonzalez, 18 years old only, and who will have everything to prove in 2020. Very talented and promising, the current world number 13 has never had the chance to evolve with a player of the level of the doctor. If she can handle the pressure on her shoulders, this young and athletic pair will have everything to play the leading roles.

Elisabeth Amatriain and Patricia Llaguno

Both ranked 10th, Patty and Eli, who have been playing together for more than 8 years, will be associated again next season. Accustomed to places of honor, those who have nevertheless won 7 tournaments World Padel Tour in their careers, will try again this year to interfere in the top of the ranking.

Gemma Triay and Lucia Sainz

With “only” a tournament won in 2019, Gemma and Lucia come out of a somewhat disappointing season given the level they posted in 2017 and 2018. Will the two Spaniards manage to return to the forefront in 2020?

In addition to these 6 pairs, it will also be necessary to monitor the new association between Delfi Brea and Ana Catarina Nogueira. If we consider that these 7 teams will be the favorites to meet at the Master Final at the end of the season, there will only bea place for several very good teams : Carolina Navarro and Cecilia Reiter, Alba Galan and Victoria Iglesias, Veronica Virseda and Maria Carmen Villalba etc. Frenchwoman Alix Collombon and her partner Nicole Traviesa also hope to be able to join the fight to finish in the eight!
