The 2021 World Padel Tour was the ninth edition of the World Padel Tour, the most prestigious professional padel circuit in the world. In the male division, Alejandro Galán and Juan Lebrón retained the number 1 spot for a second year. In the female division Alejandra Salazar and Gemma Triay were crowned number one for a second time, their first together as pair.
This edition was held throughout 2021 in six countries and from an economic standpoint, the tournament organizers, the Damm Group, hoped that this would be the first edition of the circuit to generate profits for the company, after the pandemic had forced the cancellation of a large part of the 2020 World Padel Tour calendar and all but three tournaments, which had to be played behind closed doors.[1]
Schedule
The calendar features 25 events in eleven different countries, including Spain, Italy, Sweden, and Portugal. Some of the cities that have hosted tournaments in Spain are Málaga, Lleida, Vigo, El Puerto de Santa María, Albacete, Córdoba, and Valladolid.[2][3][4][5][6]
