With just a few weeks to go before the start of the 2026 season, the  first pairs registered for Riyadh Season P1  begin to outline the new landscape of Premier PadelWithout any official announcement on social media for some, the  registration list  The Saudi tournament, the first event of the year, is already acting as a revealer: several major transfer market choices have now been finalized… even if everything is not yet set in stone.

 Di Nenno – Momo González: an expected confirmation 

It was a  open secret It is now official via registration:  Martín Di Nenno  will line up in 2026 alongside  Momo González After the end of his adventure with Franco Stupaczuk, “Turquito” took his time before validating his new project.

On paper, the pair start with  9 460 points , which could place them around the  7th seed  once all registrations are validated. A solid, experienced duo, clearly aiming for the  last squares  from the start of the season.

 Paquito Navarro – Fran Guerrero: youth and experience 

Another inscription that has generated much discussion:  Paquito Navarro  will team up with  Fran Guerrero Without an official statement, it is the Riyadh P1 list that confirms this new association.

Paquito is betting here on a  young, explosive and rapidly rising profile At 22, Guerrero is coming off a benchmark 2025 season, with  major semi-finals  and a presence at  Premier Padel Finals A well-balanced pair, capable of causing problems at the start of the season.

 Stupaczuk – Yanguas: Continuity and Big Ambitions 

Already spotted  in great shape at the Summer Pro Padel League ,  Franco Stupaczuk and Mike Yanguas  They are well integrated together. Their performance in Argentina quickly dispelled any doubts: the teamwork is there and the ambitions are high.

This project, conceived for 2026, begins with  very positive signs , even though the initial tests were “off the grid”.

 Projects confirmed, doubts dispelled 

Several registrations also come  confirm continuity  of certain pairs:

  •  Álex Ruiz – Juanlu Esbrí , which extend after a  convincing end to the 2025 season 
  •  Javi Garcia – Javi Barahona whose shared future raised questions
  •  Pablo Lijó – Maxi Arce , also renewed

Note that some pairs appear  poorly ranked or without a seed  because of  temporary bugs on the FIP side with players displayed at 0 points when their actual score is quite different. These adjustments should be corrected soon.

 For women: all the new pairs are here! 

On the feminine side,  All the expected pairs for 2026 are registered. , confirming a transfer window that is already very advanced and a clearer hierarchy as the first tournament of the year approaches.

 The transfer window is still open. 

If these initial registrations  validate several strong trends The market has not yet revealed all its secrets.  last-minute changes  remain possible, as is often the case at the dawn of a new season.

Le  Riyadh P1  is already shaping up to be a  true barometer  to judge the new projects… and perhaps witness some surprises from the first round.

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 !
