Two draws in one. After the great success of 2022, from 4th to 10th December at the Allianz Cloud the Milano Premier Padel P1, the event part of the circuit governed by the International Padel Federation (FIP) with Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) returns. And it’s back with a great news, which has also characterised other stages of Premier Padel 2023: the women’s draw, with the best female players in the world who will join the other champions of a global discipline that continues to grow in Italy and around the world in terms of members and courts. The event starts again from the approximately 27,000 fans of last year’s edition – more than 70% from all regions of Italy and abroad – for an event that will be the second Italian one of the Premier Padel circuit season, after the BNL Italy Major Premier Padel played in Rome, at the Foro Italico, last July: the Milan tournament, the last Premier Padel in 2023, will be broadcast in over 180 different countries. The tournament is part of the already busy sporting agenda of the city of Milan, which has become a crucial hub of international competitive activity in recent years.
THE PROTAGONISTS
The world’s best female players will be on court for the first time in Milan and, among them, there will be the three winning pairs of the three Premiers played so far at women’s level: from Paula Josemaria and Ari Sanchez, queens in Paris and the number one pair in the FIP ranking, to Marta Ortega and Gemma Triay (No. 2) who triumphed in Rome in the first ‘combined’ tournament in Premier Padel history, Delfina Brea (7) and Bea Gonzalez (5) who won in Madrid. In the men’s draw, too, the top of the discipline: from Arturo Coello – number 1 in the FIP ranking – and Agustin Tapia (6), winners of the last four Premier Padel stages (Rome, Madrid, Mendoza and Paris) to Juan Lebron and Ale Galan, the defending champions and number 2 in the world ranking. And again, Franco Stupaczuk (7) and Martin Di Nenno (4), Fede Chingotto (8) and idol ‘Paquito’ Navarro (5), up to ‘Leyenda’ Fernando Belasteguin (9), who paired with Mike Yanguas involves more than two generations of padelists. And it doesn’t end here because in the great Milanese sports show of the Premier Padel circuit – supported by PPA and IPPA, the associations of players and players respectively – there will be all the best players of the FIP ranking, which can be consulted at the links: for the men’s draw and for the women’s one.
