Padel returns to South America

Premier Padel returns to South America with three consecutive tournaments in Asuncion, Mar del Plata and Santiago, after having been held in Brussels and Seville. The competition in Asuncion will take place at the Ueno SND Arena, where the FIP Juniors World Padel Championships were held last November. The event starts with the main draw matches on Tuesday, following the completion of the qualifying rounds.

In the men’s draw, Ale Galan and Fede Chingotto are the second seeds, starting their participation against Javier Martinez and Antonio ‘Pincho’ Fernandez. Top seeds Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia will take on Lucas Bergamini and Victor Ruiz. Other notable pairings include Paquito Navarro and Juan Lebron, and Franco Stupaczuk and Martin Di Nenno, all looking to advance in the tournament.

In the women’s draw, Delfi Brea and Bea González, after winning in Puerto Cabello, Brussels and Seville, will enter the competition in the last sixteen. Paula Josemaría and Ari Sánchez, leaders of the FIP ranking, are also among the favourites, facing one of the duos from the preliminary rounds. Gemma Triay and Claudia Fernandez, as well as Alejandra Salazar and Tamara Icardo, are also prominent contenders who will start from the last 16.
