The CUPRA FIP Tour continues its busy 2026 schedule as San Luis, Mexico, plays host to a high-stakes FIP Gold tournament. With 150 FIP ranking points on the line, the event features a competitive field of 48 pairs, setting the stage for top-tier action before the tour shifts to Belgrade and the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour returns.
Tournament Overview and Key Contenders
The main draw consists of 32 men’s pairs and 16 women’s pairs, featuring a total of 15 players currently ranked within the top 100 globally. The competition begins this Wednesday and will culminate in the finals on Saturday, August 22. Fans can follow the action via live streaming on the official FIP YouTube channel.
The entry lists are headlined by several standout athletes who have already made their mark on the 2026 circuit:
- Alex Ruiz and Franco Dal Bianco: As the top-seeded men's pair, they lead the field. Ruiz enters the tournament with momentum, having already secured a FIP Gold victory earlier this year in Ponta Delgada, Portugal.
- Alex Chozas and Juani Rubini: These second seeds represent a strong all-Argentine duo. Chozas has been particularly prolific this season, having already secured three CUPRA FIP Tour titles at the Silver level.
- Alonso Rodriguez and Juani De Pascual: This pair rounds out the top three seeds in the men’s draw, positioning them as serious contenders for the 150 ranking points.
- Marta Borrero and Julia Polo: Leading the women’s draw, this top-seeded pair brings significant experience. Borrero is a recent finalist from the FIP Gold in Shanghai, while Polo has enjoyed a stellar 2026, already claiming four CUPRA FIP Tour titles.
- Lucia Martinez Gomez and Lucia Peralta: A pair to watch closely, Martinez Gomez arrives following a FIP Gold final appearance in Ponta Delgada. Her partner, Peralta, has been highly active this season, reaching six finals and securing three FIP Bronze trophies.
- Brittany Dubins and Camila Ramme: Serving as the third seeds in the women's bracket, this duo combines international experience with high-level success. Dubins has secured four tournament wins this season, while Ramme has been exceptionally dominant, claiming five titles so far in 2026.
Following this event in San Luis, the tour will maintain its momentum with another FIP Gold category tournament held in Belgrade, Serbia, next week.
