In a system shaken by a series of separations, one figure stands out: only 6 pairs have maintained the same partnership since the start of the 2025 season. That is 12 players across the entire professional circuit. A stark contrast to the current trend, marked by a frantic quest for immediate performance and an instability that has become almost commonplace.

This season has been like a real game of musical chairs. Major players like Juan Tello, Martín Di Nenno ou Javi Garrido have multiplied their collaborations, sometimes within a few weeks. The same is true for lower-ranked players, also caught up in this spiral of constant change, often to the detriment of the coordination, tactical understanding and the construction of automated systems.

A phenomenon openly criticized by several players in the circuit. Many are campaigning for the establishment of genuine periods of market, in order to stabilize sporting projects between transfer windows. Garrido himself, one of the most involved, readily admits: "Too many changes of pairing aren't good for anyone. It's a hassle. It's because of impatience and this obsession with immediate results." A reflection that resonates with that of Sanyo Gutiérreznostalgic for a time when duos were given time to develop.

The six duos who weathered the storm

Amid this unstable climate, six pairs have opted for continuity:

Tapia / Coello
Number one in the world, clear dominance, absolute consistency. Their stability is one of the pillars of their supremacy.

Chingotto / Galan
The second-best pair in the world, incredibly consistent, always present in the semi-finals. A benchmark in terms of consistency.

Yanguas / Nieto
One of the most solid pairs in the top 4. Almost always present in the semi-finals, still looking for that little spark to take the next step in the final, but remarkably precise over time.

Garcia / Barahona
A serious, structured season, punctuated by numerous quarter-final appearances in major tournaments. Premier PadelA clear understanding of their level and a coherent strategy based on continuity.

Deus / Deus
The Portuguese brothers continue their progress. Despite offers from other clubs, they chose to stay together, a decision that paid off with their best ranking achieved together.

Quílez / Tonet Sans
Less publicized, but just as committed to their project. A pair that perfectly illustrates this desire to build for the long term.

Does stability rhyme with performance?

Not always. But on a circuit as dense as the Premier Padel, regularity becomes a major strategic advantage. In-depth knowledge of the partner, instinctive reading of movements, confidence in tense moments: stability offers a foundation that projects put together in haste cannot guarantee.

This 2025 season is striking proof: the most consistent pairings are those that resisted the temptation to change. Without giving in to panic, without seeking a miracle solution every month.

In a sport where patience is already an essential quality in the exchange, it also becomes a fundamental lever for building a solid pair.

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 !
