Some players are already in town, while others will arrive in a few hours for their first practice sessions, ready to dive 100% into the atmosphere at Allianz Cloud for the Oysho Milano Premier Padel P1. The world’s top padel players are gearing up for another week in the spotlight: from Coello/Tapia to Chingotto/Galan, eternal rivals in a never-ending showdown, alongside Lebron/Stupaczuk, fan favorite Paquito Navarro, and on the women’s side, champions like Gemma Triay/Delfi Brea, Ari Sanchez/Paula Josemaria, and Bea Gonzalez/Claudia Fernandez. A parade of superstars will light up the week and reach its peak on Friday, October 10, the day of the quarterfinals, featuring potential clashes between the world’s best pairs. For those who get a ticket, it promises an explosive day to experience from start to finish.
DAYTIME SESSION During the daytime session, the draw puts reigning champions Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia, FIP ranking number ones, on course to face Jon Sanz and Paquito Navarro, one of Milan’s most beloved players. It would be a rematch of last year’s quarterfinal, when Coello and Tapia prevailed over Paquito (then paired with Pablo Cardona) after a thrilling three-set battle. Another crowd favorite, Juan Lebron, this year teaming up with Franco Stupaczuk, could face Fran Guerrero and Momo Gonzalez, another duo adored by the Milanese crowd. On the women’s side, sparks could fly in a potential match between Ari Sanchez/Paula Josemaria, the number 2 seeds, and legend Ale Salazar paired with the season’s revelation, 17-year-old Martina Calvo. All eyes are also on 18-year-old Andrea Ustero, teaming up with Portugal’s Araujo, potentially facing Marina Guinart and Veronica Virseda in the quarterfinals.
EVENING SESSION The ticket rush continues for the evening session, where Ale Galan and Fede Chingotto, the “Chingalan,” are the headlining stars: the number 2 seeds and last year’s finalists could meet Lucas Bergamini and Javi Leal. On court as well will be two world champions: Martin Di Nenno and Leo Augsburger — fresh off their victory with Argentina at the 2024 World Championships — chasing another win after Madrid P1 in September, facing Coki Nieto and Mike Yanguas, the number 4 seeds. In the women’s draw, all eyes are on the reigning Milano P1 queen, Gemma Triay. After last year’s win with Claudia Fernandez, the world number one returns with Delfi Brea, potentially clashing with Marta Ortega and Tamara Icardo. Fernandez, meanwhile, embarks on a new adventure with Bea Gonzalez, one of the most unpredictable duos in women’s padel, with a potential quarterfinal against Ale Alonso and Claudia Jensen. For ticket holders, the evening promises unforgettable matches, full of adrenaline and show-stopping moments.
