Gala/Jensen: new padel gen challenges the elite

Two very different semi-finals, one goal: the P1000 in Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle delivers stats drama and a tie-break thriller. The final kicks off live at 2 p.m.

Two tie-breaks send Wagner and Motz to the final; Groll and Garcia confirm their strong run. The Strasbourg P1000 ends with a top clash on Sunday.

Two tight tie-breaks deny Thomas Leygue the title in Castellón. Still, the Franco-Argentine pair take strong results and clear form into Italy Major qualifying in Rome.

The second seeds overturn the number-three pair to reach another FIP Silver final. Strong Spaniards await in Höganäs — lifting the title would be ideal prep for the Italy Major.

Dylan Guichard is through to the Rijswijk final as Camille Sireix and Arthur Hugounenq fall in tight semi-finals. Two FIP Bronze events, many French stars – a weekend full of drama.

No chance for the finalists: Iznasni and Rubio dominated the P1000 final at Central Sport Club in just 36 minutes. The stats show clear superiority in every area of the game.

After trailing 6-2 in the first set, Teri Groll and Diego Garcia turn the Strasbourg final around. They beat top seeds Motz/Wagner in the tie-break and third set for a second shared P1000 crown.

The World Padel Summit confirmed padel works in Britain. The focus now is scaling, fragmented markets and who will win the next nine million players.

Arturo Coello visited London ahead of Premier Padel P1 and explains why British fans can expect a unique live experience. More than 11,000 tickets are already sold.
