Premier Padel Cancun P2 Tournament Rankings
The Cancun P2 tournament, taking place from March 9-16, 2025, has been significantly affected by a widespread boycott from top male players. This situation has created a unique competitive landscape with dramatic differences between the men’s and women’s draws.
Men’s Draw
The men’s tournament is experiencing an unprecedented situation with almost all top 100 players boycotting the event. The only notable exception is the top-seeded pair of Franco Stupaczuk and Juan Lebrón, who made a last-minute decision to participate just hours before the registration deadline closed 5 9.
Top Men’s Teams at Cancun P2:
| Rank | Team | Player 1 | Player 2 | Team Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Top Seed | Franco Stupaczuk (ARG) | Juan Lebrón (ESP) | 16,435 |
| 2 | Second Seed | Diego García (ESP) | Francisco Cabeza Teres (ESP) | 1,539 |
| 3 | Third Seed | Leonel Daniel Aguirre (ARG) | Gonzalo Gabriel Alfonso (ARG) | 1,510 |
| 4 | Fourth Seed | Gustavo Nunes (PRT) | Miguel Angel Solbes (ESP) | 1,206 |
| 5 | Fifth Seed | Jaume Romera Barcelo (ESP) | Simone Cremona (ITA) | 1,094 |
The boycott stems from players’ dissatisfaction with recent changes to the ranking system and tournament formats implemented by FIP (International Padel Federation) for the 2025 season 4. The players’ union (PPA) has criticized these changes for creating uncertainty and a lack of clear guidelines 4.
Women’s Draw
Unlike the men’s side, most top female players have registered for the tournament, with only notable exceptions being Beatriz Gonzalez and Claudia Fernandez 1 2.
Top Women’s Teams at Cancun P2:
| Rank | Team | Player 1 | Player 2 | Team Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Top Seed | Ariana Sanchez | Paula Josemaria | 16,150 |
| 2 | Second Seed | Gemma Triay | New Partner | 13,200 |
| 3 | Third Seed | Delfina Brea | Partner | 10,100 |
| 4 | Fourth Seed | Marta Ortega | Partner | 7,030 |
| 5 | Fifth Seed | Sofia Araujo | Partner | 6,700 |
The women’s rankings remain relatively stable with Ariana Sanchez and Paula Josemaria holding the top position with 16,150 points 3. The tournament offers significant points: P2 winners receive 600 points while finalists get 360 points 3.
This tournament represents a unique opportunity for lower-ranked players, particularly on the men’s side, to earn valuable ranking points in a Premier Padel event 6 7. French players like Julien Seurin and Philemon Raichman are among those looking to capitalize on this situation 6.
Premier Padel has reported significant financial losses due to the boycott situation, which began with the previous P2 tournament in Gijón 1 3. A meeting is planned in Doha with key figures including Nasser Al Khelaifi, David Sugden, and Luigi Carraro to address the ongoing conflict5.
