Only 16 male and female players will compete in the Master Final, which will be held from the 14th to the 17th of December 2023 at the Palau Sant Jordi. It won’t be just another one but the last of the World Padel Tour stage. It is, therefore, the last chance to become the Masters of this professional circuit.
Many players were already qualified for the Final Master, but others made it to the Mexico Open last week.
These are the players who qualified for the Master Final!
Qualified players in the men’s category
The Barcelona Master Final will count with the presence of players like Mike Yanguas or Coki Nieto, who sighed this Sunday after seeing Leo Augsburger not winning the title in Mexico. And a victory in the final of the young Argentine would have catapulted him to the last tournament of the year on the World Padel Tour. However, Leo will go as a reserve player, just like Fernando Belasteguín, who finished 18th.
It will be strange not to see Bela on court, as well as another of the regulars like Pablo Lima, who has already retired. Maxi Sanchez, a player who knows very well what it means to win this tournament, won’t be there either.
In the men’s category we will have a circumstantial couple, such as Mike Yanguas and Sanyo Gutierrez, two players whose partners have not managed to qualify for the tournament. The same thing happened last year with Fede Chingotto and Martin Di Nenno, a duo that would reach the final despite being two drive players.
It will also mean what could be the last tournament for some couples, who can say goodbye once they finish their participation.
Without further ado, these are the 16 players qualified for the Master Final:
Position | Player | Points |
1. | Arturo Coello | 17.205 |
1. | Agustín Tapia | 17.205 |
3. | Franco Stupaczuk | 14.870 |
3. | Martin Di Nenno | 14.870 |
5. | Ale Galán | 9.610 |
6. | Juan Lebrón | 7.570 |
7. | Fede Chingotto | 6.560 |
8. | Paquito Navarro | 5.890 |
9. | Momo González | 5.825 |
10. | Jon Sanz | 5.555 |
11. | Sanyo Gutiérrez | 5.200 |
12. | Álex Ruiz | 5.090 |
13. | Javi Garrido | 4.565 |
14. | Juan Tello | 4.530 |
15. | Mike Yanguas | 3.940 |
16. | Coki Nieto | 3.465 |
Qualified players in the women’s category
In the women’s category we’ve also seen a change from previous weeks. Vero Virseda, who followed in the wake of Majo and Mapi Sanchez Alayeto, managed to overtake them in the Race. The player from Toledo reached the semifinals, while the twins fell in the first round.
With this, the goddess of fortune will decide which of the two sisters will go to the tournament as a starting player, and which one will go as a reserve. Patty Llaguno, 18th, will also attend the tournament as a reserve player in case of any last minute withdrawals.
As in the men’s category, Lucia Sainz will have to play the tournament with Mapi, after the World Padel Tour has made the appropriate giveaway.
Be that as it may, the 16 players qualified for the Master Final are as follows:
Position | Player | Points |
1. | Ari Sánchez | 18.680 |
1. | Paula Josemaría | 18.680 |
3. | Gemma Triay | 14.350 |
4. | Bea González | 12.180 |
5. | Delfi Brea | 11.860 |
6. | Marta Ortega | 10.620 |
7. | Ale Salazar | 9.900 |
8. | Virginia Riera | 7.907 |
8. | Tamara Icardo | 7.907 |
10. | Sofía Araújo | 6.515 |
11. | Claudia Jensen | 6.177 |
12. | Jessica Castelló | 5.492 |
13. | Aranza Osoro | 4.665 |
14. | Lucía Sainz | 4.415 |
15. | Vero Virseda | 4.140 |
16. | Majo o Mapi Sánchez Alayeto | 3.840 |
