Closing in on the record
Only one trophy separates world number one Gemma Triay from Alejandra Salazar’s record. Triay has collected 57 titles across the Padel Pro Tour, World Padel Tour, and Premier Padel, leaving her within reach of Salazar’s all-time mark of 58. She could draw level in Madrid, giving the achievement added symbolic weight.
After London, another chance in Madrid
After missing the opportunity to tie the record at the London P1, Triay will have another chance at September’s Madrid P1. The setting adds another layer to the story, as Salazar will be making her farewell appearance in her home city.
The legacy built by Salazar
No active or retired player has matched Salazar’s haul of 58 titles. Her total is well clear of Iciar Montes on 36, Carolina Navarro on 34, and the Sanchez Alayeto twins with 32 apiece. After almost two decades of dominance, Madrid provides an appropriate setting for her last tournament at home.
A poignant home farewell
Salazar and Triay spent years together as one of padel’s most accomplished partnerships, collecting many of the trophies that have left them just one title apart. That history will add to the emotion at the Madrid P1, Salazar’s final tournament in her city.
A changing of the guard
Madrid could provide a symbolic changing of the guard if Triay draws level with Salazar’s record there. In previous interviews, Triay has highlighted her determination to make the opportunity count: “It’s my journey, and I enjoy every challenge,”
