In a historic move for the Pro Padel League (PPL), the first-ever trade in league history has been finalized between the Miami Padel Club and New York Atlantics. This groundbreaking deal sees Miami trading current women’s world No. 1, Ariana Sánchez, and men’s world No. 8, Jon Sanz, to New York in exchange for world No. 4, Federico Chingoto.
Sánchez, the reigning queen of padel, has been a dominant force on the court, while Sanz’s powerful game has made him a key player in recent seasons. Their arrival in New York instantly bolsters the Atlantics’ roster, making them one of the strongest teams heading into the next phase of competition.
On the other side, Miami secures Chingoto, a world-class player known for his exceptional defense and tactical brilliance. His addition gives Miami a top-tier presence in the men’s division, setting the stage for a new chapter in the club’s evolution.
As the first trade in PPL history, this deal marks a significant milestone for the league, signaling a new era of strategic team-building and competition. Fans from both cities—and across the padel world—are eager to see how these moves will impact the league’s landscape in the upcoming season.
