The draws. Gonzalez and Fernandez try again

The Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour 2025 lands in Europe. After the first P1 of the season, in Riyadh, here is the first P2 scheduled in Gijon, the only tournament in Europe in this first part of the year, before a round-the-world tour that will visit Mexico (Cancun P2), the United States (Miami P1), Chile (Santiago P1) and Qatar (Major Doha), before returning in April in Brussels (Belgium). In the women’s draw, Bea Gonzalez and Claudia Fernandez are among the most awaited pairs: the number 3 seed in a 24-pairs draw (in which the first eight will enter the court directly in the round of 16) will try to repeat the result of Riyadh, where they were however forced to skip the final due to Bea’s physical conditions. There can certainly not be the same final as in the first tournament of the year, with Bea and Claudia drawn in the same half as Ari Sanchez and Paula Josemaria (1); in the bottom half, however, Marta Ortega and Sofia Araujo (4) are candidates for a semi-final against Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay (2).

MEN The men’s draw, on the other hand, sees three Italians among the top four players in the seeding: leading the main draw are Simone Cremona and Spanish Jaume Romera, followed by Simone Iacovino and Lorenzo Di Giovanni. Numbers 3, Tolito Aguirre and Gonza Alfonso, arrive fired after their titles in the FIP Gold in Paredes (Portugal); the same goes for numbers 5, Boris Castro and Enzo Jensen, who lifted the trophy in the FIP Silver in Valencia. Numerous young talents will be on the Palacio de Deportes de la Guía ‘Presidente Adolfo Suárez’ court: among them, Mexican Diego Arredondo (2007) and Paraguayan Facundo Dehnike (2008), who from Wednesday – the day the main draw matches begin – will try to give themselves a dream week.
