The record within reach
Gemma Triay, world number one, is on the verge of equaling Alejandra Salazar’s all‑time record of 58 titles across the Padel Pro Tour, World Padel Tour, and Premier Padel. With 57 trophies to her name, Triay has the chance to match Salazar in Madrid, a venue loaded with symbolism.
London slip and Madrid opportunity
Triay had the chance to equal the record at the London P1 but fell short. The next opportunity arrives in September at the Madrid P1, where the narrative is heightened by Salazar’s farewell appearance in her home city.
Salazar’s legacy
Salazar’s 58 titles place her ahead of all active and retired players, surpassing Iciar Montes (36), Carolina Navarro (34), and the Sánchez Alayeto twins (32 each). Her dominance has spanned nearly two decades, making Madrid a fitting stage for her final home tournament.
Emotional farewell
The Madrid P1 will be Salazar’s last tournament in her city, adding poignancy to the occasion. For years, she and Triay formed one of the most successful partnerships in padel, winning many of the titles that now separate them by a single trophy.
A generational shift
Triay’s chance to equal Salazar’s record in Madrid transforms the milestone into a symbolic passing of the torch. “It’s my journey, and I enjoy every challenge,” Triay has said in past interviews, underlining her determination to seize the moment.
