The iconic Estadio de La Cartuja in Sevilla, affectionately known as the “temple of the racket,” is once again buzzing with excitement. As the sixth stage of the Premier Padel 2024 circuit, the Sevilla Premier Padel P2 promises thrilling matches and intense competition. Let’s dive into the details!
The Venue
Estadio de La Cartuja has a storied history, having hosted Davis Cup matches, the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, and even Athletic Bilbao’s Copa del Rey victory in football. Now, it’s set to welcome the stars of world padel.
The Players
Among the top players gracing the courts are Juan Lebron and Paquito Navarro. As the number 2 seed in the 32-pair men’s draw, they’re ready to make their mark.

At the top of the draw, Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia, finalists in Brussels, will face off against José Antonio Diestro and Pablo Lijo. Meanwhile, the dynamic pair of Federico Chingotto and Ale Galan, also finalists in Brussels, will debut against Javi Ruiz and Pablo Cardona. Keep an eye out for the return of legend Fernando Belasteguin, who will team up with Juan Tello as the number five seeded pair.
