The CUPRA Rotterdam P2 kicks off a run of three Premier Padel tournaments in three weeks, from September 28 to October 4, 2026. The next stops are a P2 in Düsseldorf, followed by a P1 in Milan. For fans, this packed schedule offers a thread to follow: track the same competition across three stops and watch how the FIP rankings and Race standings develop. But as Rotterdam gets underway, the results are still to come.
Three stops, 2,200 points in total
The International Padel Federation says the series represents 2,200 points in the FIP rankings and the Race. This gives an idea of the sporting stakes of this run: there are plenty of points on offer across the three tournaments combined.
However, that figure alone cannot predict who will make the most progress. As of September 28, Rotterdam’s results are not yet known, and the points earned will depend on how each pair performs. The announced total covers all three stops; it does not mean those points are awarded to any particular team.
Rotterdam gets underway: draws are set, results are not
Qualifying for the Rotterdam P2 began on September 28, and the main draws are set. This is the time to take note of the matchups and pairs taking part, then follow the results as the tournament unfolds. It is still too early to draw conclusions about the rankings or how the series will end.
Two pairs arrive in Rotterdam looking to defend their titles: Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia in the men’s draw, and Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay in the women’s draw. They won the 2025 edition. That is a reference point for following their campaigns, not an indication of the 2026 result.
A run of tournaments for fans to follow
To follow this stretch, it is most useful to distinguish between three things: the results of each tournament, the points they award, and how the rankings change. Rotterdam is the first chapter, not the verdict on the series. Düsseldorf and Milan come next, with a P2 followed by a P1.
This run makes for an interesting period on the international tour, across the Netherlands, Germany and Italy. However, the information available does not allow us to say what the consequences will be for qualification to the Finals, or to give the dates of the next two stops here. It is therefore better to wait for the results rather than anticipate their impact.
