Not all tournaments carry the same weight in the FIP rankings. Understanding the tiers is key to following the race for positions:

• Majors (4 events): The top tier. They award the most ranking points, offer the largest prize pools and feature expanded draws. Think of them as padel’s equivalent of Grand Slams.
• P1 (8 events): The backbone of the circuit. They attract the full elite field and are crucial for ranking point accumulation. Stops include Miami, Buenos Aires, Madrid and the brand-new London.
• P2 (12 events): Essential for developing emerging pairs and expanding the sport geographically. Cities like Gijón, Brussels, Pretoria and Cancún bring professional padel to new markets.
• Finals (Barcelona): The season-ending showdown that brings together the top 16 male and female players in the rankings to crown the champions of the year.
