After a turbulent start to the 2025 season in Riyadh, marked by conflict between players and the organization and the boycott of tournaments Gijón et CancúnThe circuit seemed to have finally regained some serenity. Time for the game, for the spectacle… but the Gijón P2 2026 loses one of its strong faces.

The surprise hero of 2025 is absent this year

Last year, in a particular context, Diego Garcia and Curro Cabeza They had taken advantage of the absence of the big names to create a sensation. Without any inhibitions, the two young Spaniards had brought down the favorites. Tolito Aguirre / Gonzalo Alfonso to get the title.

A resounding achievement that had made a lasting impression.

But a year later, Curro Cabeza will not be able to defend his crown.

An injury during training

The Malaga player announced his Gijón P2 forfeitaffected the abdominal area:

"Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate in the Gijón P2 match. Yesterday, during training, I suffered an abdominal injury. I was really looking forward to playing again in Gijón, but we'll have to wait another year to see each other again."

A tough blow for the player, who was hoping to shine again on the blue carpet of Asturias.

A challenging field nonetheless.

After the tensions at the start of the 2025 season, the atmosphere has calmed down. The world's best players have responded this year, both in the men's and women's draws. The tournament has therefore regained its full luster, with a deep and competitive field.

Curro Cabeza's absence removes a great story to tell, but the show still promises to be a success. Gijón.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
