Key Takeaways

- Asked to name her ideal partner, Triay selected Arturo Coello and explained, “I’d take Coello, to cover everything for me.”

Premier Padel mixed doubles discussion returns
Interest in mixed doubles padel is growing again. Staging a single event with leading players from the men’s and women’s tours would introduce fresh on-court dynamics. The idea has been discussed for some time, and major tournaments could provide a logical stage on which to trial it at the sport’s highest level.
During a Madrid P1 press appearance, former world number 1 Gemma Triay made clear her enthusiasm for mixed doubles. The Minorcan player was answering a question from Monica Montes, according to ‘rematalabola’, when she outlined her hopes for the sport’s leading events: “I would love to include the mixed doubles team in the Majors.”
Star pairings imagined for padel’s biggest events
Triay wasted little time naming one of the circuit’s leading power players when asked whom she would partner: “I’d take Coello, to cover everything for me.”
Delfi Brea also offered her view while appearing at the same press conference as the Alaior native. Choosing a different dream partner, Brea turned toward her compatriot and said, “I’m rooting for Tapia, it would be fun.”
Pairings featuring players of that stature from the two circuits would be a major attraction for padel spectators. Whether Premier Padel and the International Padel Federation might introduce mixed doubles in the medium term remains uncertain, although doing so would follow a tradition long established at professional tennis Grand Slams.
