Premier Padel's next stop is Malaga. The Andalucia Malaga Premier Padel P1 runs from July 13 to 19 at the Palacio Martin Carpena, with qualifying opening on the 11th, and it's the third year running that the Malaga arena has hosted the event.

## A step back up to P1

This is the tour's next major-tier week after the back-to-back P2 stops in Valladolid and Bordeaux. The P1 label means a bigger field and more ranking points on the table. The main draws hold 48 men and 28 women, fed by qualifying rounds that open the week before the seeds arrive.

## Who to watch

Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia land in Malaga as the men's world number one pair, but they come in stung. Alejandro Galan and Federico Chingotto beat them in the Bordeaux final, so the top two teams go again with barely anything between them in the race. The women's draw brings the leading pairs back together over the same run of days.

## When it happens

Qualifying starts July 11, the main draw opens on the 13th, and the finals close it out on Sunday July 19. Tickets are on sale through the local organizer, and the matches stream on the tour's broadcast partners.
