Oysho Milan Premier Padel P1, presented the'event of the Allianz Cloud

New calendar location, same unmissable emotions. For the fourth consecutive year, Milan dresses padel: from October 6 to 12, at the’Allianz Cloud, the Oysho Milano Premier Padel P1 returns, a tournament that represents one of the pillars of the professional circuit governed by the International Padel Federation (FIP) with Qatar Sports Investments (QSI). The Oysho Milano Premier Padel P1, presented today in the Appiani Hall of the Gianni Brera Civic Arena in Milan, will welcome the strongest players on the planet, with 1000 points in the FIP Ranking up for grabs for the winning pairs, engaged in a season finale that will culminate in December with the highly anticipated Barcelona Finals in which the top 16 players and the top 16 players in the Race will participate.

‘Padel on fire,’ reads the tournament’s claim: it will restart from the more than 32,000 spectators who last year – in December, as in the 2022 and 2023 editions – filled the Allianz Cloud, providing an electrifying’atmosphere for the world’s ‘paddle’ bigwigs. The P1 in Milan, a city where padel is widespread, is the second seasonal tournament of the Qatar Airways Premier Padel 2025 circuit to be held in Italy after the Rome Major. It is an appointment that comes in a season finale with a busy calendar that alternates the top events of the Premier Padel and CUPRA FIP Tour with the FIP-signed team events for nations: from the final stage of the FIP Euro Padel Cup in Spain (Italy defends the title of vice champion of Europe with both women and men), to the brand new and highly anticipated FIP World Cup Pairs in Kuwait.

The numbers of padel in Italy are frightening: there are more than one and a half million practitioners, with more than 10 thousand courts, a figure that has grown 110% since 2021. And 27 percent of the national total number of practitioners, as pointed out by the FIP Research & Data Analysis Department – the study center of the International Padel Federation – play in Lombardy, where courts since 2021 have grown by 157 percent. During the week of the Oysho Premier Padel P1, the new edition of the World Padel Report curated by the FIP, the’accurate worldwide census study of a sport whose growth knows no bounds,

Last year, winning in Milan were Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia among the men and Gemma Triay and Claudia Fernandez among the women. Coello and Tapia are dominating this season as well, and at the Allianz Cloud they will be the pair to beat in the men’s draw, but there is no shortage of competition behind them: from Fede Chingotto and Ale Galan, finalists in 2024, to Juan Lebron and Franco Stupaczuk, to Coki Nieto and Mike Yanguas. All pairs, these, who have already joined forces since the beginning of the season to try to curb the overwhelming power of ‘Arturito’ and the Mozart of Catamarca (this is Tapia’s famous nickname). In Milan, however, recently formed pairs will also play, such as the one formed by Paquito Navarro – who is an idol in Italy – and Jon Sanz, last year’s great triumphant in the Premier Padel Finals paired with Nieto.

Among the women, on the other hand, Gemma Triay will try to raise the Oysho Milano Premier Padel P1 trophy again, this time with another partner at her side: if in 2024 the Spanish number 1 in the FIP Ranking triumphed with Claudia Fernandez, this year she will play with Delfi Brea from Argentina, who thanks also to the three majors she has already won (Doha, Rome and Paris) has risen to number 2 in the world rankings. Behind them, the desire for redemption of Paula Josemaria and Ari Sanchez, the quality of Bea Gonzalez and Claudia Fernandez, and the mix of youth and great experience of Andrea Ustero and Sofia Araujo, in a tournament that, as often happens, may give surprise names in its final stages.
