Up next…
Premier Padel now heads to Europe for the final two tournaments of the season. The Milan P1 from December 2-8 and the Barcelona P1 from December 18-22 will play a critical role in shaping the year-end rankings and conclude a remarkable season of padel.

P2, P1 and Majors: What’s the Difference?

In the Premier Padel league, tournaments are divided into three levels: P2, P1, and Majors, each offering varying prestige, ranking points, and prize money. P2 tournaments are entry-level events, providing fewer ranking points and prize money but serving as a stepping stone for players aiming to climb the rankings. P1 tournaments are mid-tier, offering more points and higher rewards, attracting stronger competition. Majors are the league's most prestigious events, comparable to Grand Slams in tennis, featuring the highest stakes, maximum ranking points, and the largest prize pools, making them the pinnacle of the season.

How Much Prize Money Are We Talking?

The GNP Mexico Major Premier Padel tournament featured a total prize fund of €800,000. The prize money distribution per player was as follows: winners received €47,250; finalists earned €23,625; semi-finalists took home €13,125; quarter-finalists got €8,531; players reaching the Round of 16 received €5,250; those in the Round of 32 earned €2,953; and participants in the Round of 64 were awarded €1,477. Additionally, players who reached the final qualifying round received €820 each.
