The world’s best padel returns to Argentina with the Buenos Aires P1, the eighth stop of the Premier Padel season following an electrifying event in Paraguay. Held at the iconic Parque Roca, this tournament marks a crucial moment for the circuit’s top stars.
Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia arrive home with the pressure to defend their throne in front of their home crowd, aiming to halt the momentum of their biggest rivals. Meanwhile, Fede Chingotto and Ale Galán enter as fresh champions from Asunción and consolidated leaders of the Race, seeking to conquer “enemy” territory and deliver a potentially decisive blow. On the women’s side, the tension is at its peak: Paula Josemaría and Bea González land as the new season leaders after stringing together four titles, while Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea will seek the necessary revenge in Buenos Aires to regain control of the 20×10.
The competition moves indoors at Parque Roca, with conditions expected to be intermediate, leaning toward slower play. For this event, men will use the Wilson Premier Padel ball, while women compete with the Wilson Premier Padel S. As a P1 category tournament, its importance is elevated, offering a total prize money of €479,068, ensuring the presence of every top-ranked player.
