The US Padel Association (USPA) just released its latest official national rankings after a year that’s been jam-packed with tournaments across the country.
Among the biggest movers in the men’s rankings were Marcos Alvarez, who soared 68 spots from #93 to #25; Matt Hansen, who climbed 14 spots from #32 to #18; and Gabriel Arraiz, who improved 12 spots from #29 to #17.
The top three spots continue to be held down by Peter Alonso, Luis Estrada, and Nicholas Agritelley — though Alonso earned his #1 ranking while playing three to four tournaments less than his top competition.
With upcoming 100- and 250-level tournaments in Key Biscayne, Philadelphia, Norwalk, CT, and Miami, and a 500-level tournament in Orlando, there will likely be plenty of shake-ups in the rankings before the year is over. But, for now, the top 25 men’s padel players in the U.S. are:
