Jérémy Scatena told us recently, the level of WPT has increased significantly in recent years. Players' salaries have also increased ... which does not affect everyone yet ...

Compared to figures that we gave last year, the winnings for Wold players Padel Tour increased slightly in 2019. For example, a 1/16 Open earns € 247 for women and € 513 for men against € 170 and € 458 respectively the previous year. We note in passing that, unlike tennis, the parity is still not relevant in the padel.

In preprevias, on the other hand, parity is perfectly respected since the players always receive 0 €, whether they win or lose! This is the case up to the previas Open final for men, and up to 1 / 16 final table final for women. This means that all players, and the majority of players who lose at the stage of previas receive no prize money. 

We thus notice that the players who can not get into the main tables can not rely only on their sponsors to get by. Especially since the WPT offers accommodation and catering only from the final table. What even more motivate the players (his) to do everything to settle permanently in the main draw!
