Confirmed: World number ones withdraw from Premier Padel competition

Paula Josemaría and Ariana Sánchez will not take part in this week's Milano Premier Padel P1. It is now clear after the duo are no longer in the tournament's official draw.

Milano P1 is one of the last two events of the Premier Padel season, but Josemaría and Sánchez will not be able to participate.

Josemaría announces this on Instagram:

”I wanted to let you know that I won't be able to be in Milan because of the knee injury that I've been carrying and that doesn't allow me to be at 100%.”

The duo's absence in Italy means other pairs now have a greater chance of winning the title.
