Padel Pro Tour

The Padel Pro Tour, usually shortened to PPT, was the main professional padel circuit in the world during the seven seasons it ran, from its first tournament season in 2006 until 2012. It grew out of a project that began in 2005 as an agreement between the group of organizers of professional padel tournaments, the Association of Professional Padel Players and the Spanish Women's Padel Association. A non-profit organization of the same name managed the circuit, set its regulations and prize standards and worked through committees for planning, marketing, finance and technical matters. Most of its tournaments were played in Spain, with a Master Final in Madrid, and in 2010 it reached Argentina with three tournaments. Juan Martin Diaz and Fernando Belasteguin led the men's rankings for years, while Carolina Navarro and Cecilia Reiter topped the women's side. In 2011 sponsorship from Bwin renamed it the Bwin Padel Pro Tour, and in 2013 the World Padel Tour took its place as the leading circuit.
