Paris, France | September 9–14, 2025
Premier Padel returns this week to one of its most iconic venues as the Alpine Paris Major takes over the legendary courts of Roland-Garros. From Tuesday, September 9, the world’s best players will compete in the third Major of the 2025 season, with 2,000 FIP ranking points and over €1 million in prize money on the line.
Now in its fourth edition, the Paris Major has become a flagship event on the Premier Padel calendar. Since 2022, Roland-Garros has swapped clay for turf and glass walls, transforming its Grand Slam atmosphere into a theatre of padel. A long-term agreement with the French Tennis Federation ensures that the tournament will remain in Paris through at least 2029.
France itself has emerged as a major market for the sport, with more than 2,500 courts across 940 venues and over 500,000 active players as of 2024—making it the fifth-largest country by number of clubs, behind Spain, Italy, Argentina, and Sweden.
All eyes will be on world No.1s Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia, who arrive in Paris seeking a third consecutive title at Roland-Garros. Tapia remains undefeated at the venue, and together they have collected a record-breaking seven (Coello) and six (Tapia) Major titles—more than any other players in Premier Padel history.
Martín Di Nenno and Leo Augsburger, fresh off a sensational title run in Madrid, come into the event full of momentum after defeating the top three seeds in the same week. A rematch against Coello and Tapia is only possible in the final.
Meanwhile, Federico Chingotto and Alejandro Galán will look to bounce back after a quarter-final exit in Madrid. Galán lifted the Paris Major trophy in 2022, while Chingotto boasts a perfect record of reaching the final at every Premier Padel event he has played in France.
Also drawing attention is the battle for the No.5 ranking, with just 340 points separating Jon Sanz & Momo González from Paquito Navarro & Lucas Bergamini heading into Paris.
On the women’s side, Paula Josemaría and Ariana Sánchez return as the defending champions in Paris and remain unbeaten at Roland-Garros. But after falling in the quarter-finals in Madrid, they face additional pressure to defend 3,000 points. They cannot reclaim the No.1 spot this week—but their margin for error is shrinking.
Current world No.1s Gemma Triay and Delfina Brea have won both Majors so far this season. Triay is now tied with Sánchez and Josemaría in career Major titles, but her team holds the upper hand in 2025. Still, a possible final against Claudia Fernández and Bea González could prove decisive—especially with Fernández and González holding a 5–2 head-to-head advantage.
France will be represented by 16 players across both draws. In the women’s field, Alix Collombon leads the way. Ranked No.25 in the world, she reached the quarter-finals in Paris in 2023 and will likely face No.4 seeds Sofía Araújo & Andrea Ustero in the round of 16.
Léa Godallier and Carla Touly return to the main draw, while Jessica Ginier and Elodie Invernon are among the players hoping to advance beyond the early rounds.
In the men’s draw, Thomas Leygue—France’s top-ranked player—will miss the tournament due to injury. But former world No.60 Benjamin Tison returns with a wild card alongside Maxime Forcin. Bastien Blanque, Dylan Guichard, and Maxime Moreau will also be competing in front of home fans.
The Paris Major is the 16th tournament of the 2025 season and the 54th in Premier Padel history. With ranking points from both Rotterdam P1 and Paris Major 2024 set to drop, results this week could play a major role in the race toward the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Finals.
A total of 224 players from 15 nations will compete at Roland-Garros, reaffirming Paris as one of the global epicentres of professional padel.
