À Rotterdam, the semi-finals of the Premier Padel P1 confirm a trend: men's padel offers great classics while in the women's category, the hierarchy still seems too predictable. A contrast that fuels debate and which nevertheless promises a high-level weekend on Canal+ Sport 360.

Posters already seen among the gentlemen

In the last four, we will find, unsurprisingly, Arturo Coello / Agustín Tapia face Coki Nieto / Mike Yanguas.
On the other side of the table, the expected duel will pit Fede Chingotto / Ale Galán salary. Franco Stupaczuk / Juan Lebrón, a match that promises to be the clash of the day in the Netherlands, even if this opposition could be rushed if Lebron / Stupa do not raise their level of play.

A predictable but high-octane female picture

In the women's competition, the situation is striking: the semifinals offer little in the way of new features, with a sense of déjà vu that ends up tiring even the most ardent fans. The suspense is limited, and the same players regularly dominate the debates.

In the upper part of the table, Delfi Brea / Gemma Triay continue their journey without incident and will meet again in the semi-finals Jensen / Alonso de Villa.
On the other hand, the lower part offers a particular pleasure: the return to the foreground ofAlejandra Salazar, former world number 1, who is having a superb second half of the season alongside Martina CalvoTheir task will be immense against the world's number 1 pair. Ari Sánchez / Paula Josemaría, impressive in the quarter-finals against Ortega / Icardo.
