Padel Intelligence revealed a ranking: that of pairs that achieve the most winning points per match. And in first place, we find… Aguirre / Chozas, with 42,3 winners per matchA statistic that raises questions, because the Argentinian duo, although explosive, is not among the very best pairs in the world.

Aguirre / Chozas, the kings of winning points

Si Tolito Aguirre et Alex Chozas dominate this ranking, it is not only thanks to their power in Smash. The two Argentines are also excellent on the volley, capable of quickly concluding points with precise sequences at the net. It should also be noted that they often play very long and close matches, which naturally increases their total number of winning points. In other words, their presence at the top of the ranking reflects both their offensive recklessness and their endurance in the duration of meetings.

Cardona / Augsburger, power without surprises

In second position, Cardona / Augsburger. No wonder: the two players, among the most powerful on the circuit, have built their reputation on their ability to shorten the exchanges and dominate the netTheir explosive style earns them an average of 39,3 winners per match, proof of formidable offensive efficiency.

Coello / Tapia, the perfect balance

Behind them, Coello and Tapia complete the podium (38,2). The world No. 1s embody the balance between controlled aggression and tactical masteryA perfect left-handed-right-handed alchemy, once at the net they are extremely efficient, capable of finishing points at any time.

Figures to put into perspective

Behind, we find González / Sanz, Aguirre / Alfonso, Alonso / Bautista, Lebron / Stupa, Leal / Guerrero, Gala / Campagnolo et A. Ruiz / V. Ruiz.
But this purely statistical ranking deserves to be qualified. As several observers have pointed out, World top pairs often play shorter matches and quickly win their first rounds. Result: fewer points played, so fewer winners per match.

It would be more relevant to focus on the percentage of winners per point played, a data which would really reflect the offensive quality of a team.

Style above all

This top 10 illustrates above all the diversity of styles on the circuit: some duos favor risk-taking and spectacular play, others focus on consistency and tactical management. As shown by Sanz / González ou Gala / Campagnolo, some pairs produce a lot of winning points simply because they compete long and intense matches, mechanically increasing their stats.

In summary, Making a lot of winners is not enough to reign over world padel, in fact the world number 2 Galan / Chingotto or the world number 4 do not appear in this ranking.

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 !
