Tomorrow finally marks the beginning of the first major tournament of the international PREMIER PADEL circuit this season: the Doha Major Padel in Qatar. An event that padel lovers eagerly anticipate and which, despite the absence of Lebrón and Stupa, promises strong emotions and, as always, big surprises: with established names and aspiring pairs looking to disrupt the status quo.
Many factors could make this edition historic. Let's review what we can expect in both the women's and men's circuits, as well as some key points that will surely shape the destiny of the competition.
Women's Circuit: Will There Be Surprises?
However, reaching this anticipated final will not be easy for either pair, as the circuit is increasingly competitive, and there are many pairs to watch out for who will make their matches difficult and who will fight to end their supremacy.
Without a doubt, Sánchez and Josémaría have the pressure of defending their leadership, but the competition is growing exponentially, and it will be very interesting to see how the draw unfolds in that regard. Will we see any surprises? Of course, we think it's possible, and what is 100% certain is that in some of the matches, it will be close to happening.
Men's Circuit: Tapia's Recovery and the New Promises
The men's circuit will also be a true trench warfare. One of the most interesting points will be the return of Agustín Tapia after his injury. The Argentine has been the great dominant force on the circuit in recent years, and there is much anticipation to see if he returns to his peak level. There is no doubt that this aspect will be key in how the tournament unfolds.
On the other hand, the absence of two of the most important names on the circuit, Stupa and Lebrón, has come as a cold shower for padel fans around the world. We were very curious to see if this year they would be able to unseat Chingotto and Galán, and Coello and Tapia. We will have to wait a few tournaments and, above all, see if Franco manages to recover from his discomfort and return to 100%.
One of the major focuses of attention will be to see how the pairs Aguirre and Alfonso fare, as well as the Deus brothers. Both contenders are playing at a very high level, and although they have not yet consolidated themselves in the TOP 20, this Doha Major Padel could be their opportunity to make a big statement and show that they have the level to be among the best.
It is also worth noting that this will be the last tournament where we will see the pairs Garrido / Di Nenno and Libaak / Tello, who have already announced their separation. Will these duos manage to stand out in Doha, or will they say goodbye discreetly?
The most predictable outcome is a final between the big favorites: Coello and Tapia against Chingotto and Galán. However, seeing some surprises is not at all out of the question. With the absences and the new promises looking for their place, who will ultimately take home the Ooredoo trophy?
In summary, we are eager to start enjoying the Doha Major Padel. Will it be a turning point for many players on the circuit? Will this be the tournament where the favorite pairs fall, or, on the contrary, will the established duos remain at the top? Don't miss a single second of the Doha Major Padel!
