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 women’s rankings were Maria Magraner, who soared 80 spots from #96 to #16; Anna Cortlies, who climbed 18 spots from #29 to #11; and Laura Grooms, who improved 8 spots from #33 to #25.
The top two spots continue to be held down by Argentine former tennis pro Jordana Lujan and Lithuanian pro Egle Petrauskaite — though Lujan earned her #1 ranking while playing four less tournaments than her 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 women’s padel players in the U.S. are:
