Meet the Players
1. Paula Josemaría — The “GOAT” of Women’s Padel
- World Ranking: No. 3
- WPL Team: Game Changers Lions
If padel has a “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) conversation, Paula Josemaría’s name is always near the top. She has won more Premier Padel titles than any other player in the sport’s history. Alongside her partner, she recently pulled off an unbelievable five-tournament winning streak—taking consecutive trophies in Asunción, Brussels, Miami, NewGiza, and Buenos Aires—a feat never before achieved in the women’s division.
2. Bea González — The Explosive Returning Champion
- World Ranking: No. 3
- WPL Team: Game Changers Lions
Partnered with Josemaría on the global tour, Bea González is the other half of that historic five-title winning streak. “Beíta” is already a favorite among Indian padel fans, having hoisted the World Padel League Season 2 trophy right here in Mumbai. She knows exactly how to win on the Mumbai courts and is returning to defend her status as a local fan favorite.
3. Fran Guerrero — The Net-Crashing Maestro
- World Ranking: No. 9
- WPL Team: Vedanta Leopards
Renowned for his lightning-fast hands and aggressive net-crashing style, Fran Guerrero is an absolute entertainer on the court. After playing a crucial role in helping his team secure the WPL Season 2 championship in Mumbai, Guerrero returns to India’s commercial capital primed to put on another masterclass in fast-paced reflexes.
4. Claudia Jensen — The Teenage Prodigy
- World Ranking: No. 11
- WPL Team: Aussie Mavericks Jaguars
Claudia Jensen is one of the brightest young minds in global sports. Having cracked the world’s top 10 while still a teenager, Jensen’s game is built on highly technical play and a lethal two-handed backhand. Catching her live in Mumbai is the padel equivalent of watching a future legend rise to her absolute prime in real time.
5. Coki Nieto — The Giant Slayer
- World Ranking: No. 9
- WPL Team: VB Realty Cheetahs
In modern padel, Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia have long been considered an untouchable, unbeatable duo. That was until Coki Nieto and his partner did the unthinkable, ending their historic winning streak on the sport’s grandest stage: the Premier Padel Finals. A relentless, defensive machine who never gives up on a ball, Nieto brings a thrilling “never-say-die” energy that is guaranteed to keep the Mumbai crowd on the edge of their seats.
