The beginning of the season in Premier Padel has made it clear that the couples aspiring to the throne of this sport are stronger than ever. So much Federico Chingotto and Alejandro Galán in the male box as Paula Josemaría and Bea González In the women’s field they have shown that they are fully prepared for the battle, winning the latest titles at stake and pushing the world rankings to the limit. A table that, with the imminent arrival of the Rome Major, could suffer a historic turnaround.
On the female side, all eyes are focused on the duo known as ‘Dinamita’ and ‘Pearl’. Both players land in the Italian capital having won five tournaments in a row. This spectacular winning streak has allowed them to drastically reduce the gap with the current number one in the world: Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea. The Menorcan and Argentine women lead the table with 18,009 points. However, before starting at the Foro Italico, they must subtract the points corresponding to their 2025 performances in Buenos Aires and Rome, so Its initial net locker in Italian lands will be 15,649 units.

As for the woman from Malaga and Extremadura, their starting records are different because last season they did not compete together. Josemaría has 15,497 points and his partner has 15,254. However, when the Extremaduran defended a greater number of units due to its results from the previous yearwill provisionally be left with 13,297 points, compared to González’s 13,954. Although the distance with Seba Nerone’s pupils is still considerable, the fact of facing a Major category event – the one that distributes the most points of the entire calendar – gives one of the two aspiring mathematical options to take the lead.
The player who has a real chance of winning the title in Italy is Bea González, who is 1,715 units behind the leader. The Andalusian needs an extremely complex combination of results if the recent history of Gemma and Delfi is taken into account, but the numbers support the possibility. If Triay and Brea are eliminated prematurely in the round of 16 and the woman from Malaga is crowned champion of the tournament, she will become world number one for the first time in her professional career.
If, on the contrary, The leaders say goodbye in the quarterfinal round, they would be practically on par in the general classificationwaiting to see what happens with the expiration of the 2025 Qatar Major points, whose digits are being progressively subtracted. The main obstacle for Bea González is that the Menorcan and Argentine women are characterized by an astonishing regularity when it comes to reaching the Sunday rounds.. Although the coin is not turning out heads for them in the last finals, they have managed to place themselves in the last match of the draw in all the events held this year. Therefore, The most likely thing is that the El Palo player will have to wait for the events in Valencia or Valladolid to see her real chances of leading the FIP ranking increase.
Impossible scenario for Chingotto and Galán
In the case of Fede Chingotto and Ale Galán, the mathematical panorama is radically different despite completing an excellent season. Jorge Martínez’s pupils won in Rome last year, which means that they defend all of those points this week at the Foro Italico. Furthermore, the distance with respect to Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia continues to be very wide, which cancels any overtaking option in this appointment.

The one from Olavarría and the one from Leganés have 18,357 pointswhich will become 15,997 before starting to be added in Italy. Arturo and Agustín, on the other hand, start from 21,109 points and will be at 18,909. This situation translates into a gap of almost 3,000 points which, knowing that the winner of a Major obtains 2,000 units, makes a changing of the guard in the Roman capital unfeasible.
Except for a major surprise, the second couple on the men’s circuit will be forced to wait for the summer section to attempt the assault on the throne. The ‘Golden Boys’ had an intractable streak in the months of June and July of last year, in addition to holding the status of current champions of the Paris Major, which is held in September. It will be during that demanding block of the calendar when Coello and Tapia put a large volume of points into playopening a much clearer window of opportunity for Galán and Chingotto to aspire to number one.
