The clock is ticking faster towards the start of the 2023 padel circuit season. This year's women's ranking promises a lot. The dominance exerted by the two best padel couples of the past year has caused all their pursuers to sharpen their weapons to give war in each of the tournaments that are presented. The level of excitement and level, after a season that was decided in the last big match of the year, is sky high. 
 
Gemma Triay - Alejandra Salazar
Once again this year, they are the undisputed number one seeds. They have been at the top of the rankings for two seasons now, and not even the most powerful gale has been able to move them from there. Their dominance in the competition is enormous. 

The excellence of two players who have been number one both together and separately is supreme. Their talent and candidacy for the top spot is nothing new, it is in their blood. They reached a total of 12 tournaments the previous year, it is even complicated to list them. Only a minor injury to Gemma could have affected their unstoppable form. Not to mention the way they finished the season, winning five out of a possible five and taking first place in the final sprint.

It is not easy to approach a new journey when you are used to success. The demands they have as a driving force to stay ahead of the rest also weighs on their shoulders. Even so, they are already approaching this year with a mature mentality and a perfectly worked out work dynamic. Will they repeat yet another season as the sublime and implacable tandem of the circuit? 

Paula Josemaría - Ari Sánchez

The little warriors are once again enlisted in the battle for the leadership. Despite their commendable season, they were left with the honey on their lips in Barcelona when they couldn't close it with the Final Master title and the number one. Their numbers speak for themselves. Out of 21 tournaments they played, they reached a total of 18 finals, winning 7 of them. 

They were the only ones capable of catching up with Gemma and Ale in 2022. Despite the fact that their run-in was lacking at the most precise moment, fighting toe-to-toe for the second consecutive season with the best in the world only highlights their sensational performance. Magic Ariana and Paula have laid a foundation that allows them to keep building and improving with each passing week. Little by little they have figured out the formula for earning their plaque on the walk of fame together.

There is nothing more painful than dying on the shore after paddling a long swell. And after Vigo, Marbella, Vienna, Malaga, Cascais, Sweden and Madrid, being displaced in the final conquest of Barcelona has left a mark that can only be erased in one way. That's why this season there is only one goal for Paula and Ari, 1. 

Marta Ortega - Bea Gonzalez

The Martita-Bea pairing is also immovable for this season. Genius and experience will once again form a long-lasting pairing. This is because if there is one thing that characterises this duo, it is the great margin of results they have ahead of them. This vision of the future, added to the baggage they both have behind them, puts them back in a position to give much more to talk about in the coming months.

Being the only pair capable of beating the two teams to beat in 2022 gives them an essential cache and vigour that will keep them in the spotlight. Denmark and Amsterdam were a turning point for them. Both tournaments were an outstanding demonstration that when the gears are working, they can sweep all their rivals aside. The two Open tournaments mentioned were not their only successes, they also won the Challengers of Getafe and Albacete at the start of the season, looking to be one of the best pairings of the moment. 

After living a whole year watching Gemma-Ale and Paula-Ari several floors above them, their big goal is to climb at the same pace as them. The lift already has the bearings well greased to propel them to the top.
Patty Llaguno - Victoria Iglesias 

The couple that is postulated for the top 4 emerges as a great proposal for this year. The insurrection comes from the Mediterranean, where the players from Seville and Murcia want to show their strength, grit and heart. The Llaguno-Iglesias pairing is a safe bet for two players who are used to being seen in the final stages of tournaments. 

The reasons for their union are many, there are no doubts, but the question is one: who will play on the backhand side? After all, both have become accustomed to dominating that position. The preseason is being a key stage for them in this sense, in which they not only have to let their chemistry flow, but they are also obliged to find their place on the court and feel comfortable in that way.

Victoria's last season was remarkable. Despite reaching six semi-finals and one final (Madrid), she has yet to lift an Open or Masters title. Now, with an experienced Patty Llaguno, who already reached number one in 2013, her chances of doing so will be boosted. Both are brimming with enthusiasm for this year. Their hunger to reach the finals can be felt all over the world. 
 
Lucia Sainz - Aranzazu Osoro
If the circuit wanted war, here there is war. They already said it on the day of their announcement as a couple, putting together a Viking and a gladiator in the same team can only result in true warriors. That spirit is what they aspire to put forward each week of the tournament.

Lucia Sainz, the former number one in 2020, had a turbulent past season. She went through three different companies, only reached the final of the Mallorca Challenger, where she won the trophy, and could not get past the top 10 of the ranking. Despite this, it is well known the padel that Lucia is capable of displaying. And Aranzazu is well aware of it. The Argentinean, whose greatest achievement was the final of the Madrid Master, aligns herself with the style of her new partner in the adjacent rectangle.

In this pairing there is also the question of who will occupy each spot in the 20x10. Both are used to playing on the right side of the court, although at certain points in their careers they have had an impact from the backhand side. 


All of the partner shuffles that have occurred in the top positions of the men's ranking, where the top 4 out of the top 5 are unpublished, have not occurred in the best women's padel pairings. The bet of the top three couples will offer regularity and consistency to the competition before the will of the new duets that come to turn everything upside down.
