P+
What is a P+ in padel?
Elite/professional level in the padel rating system.
Definition
P+ (or 'Pro') is the elite professional tier in padel rankings, representing World Padel Tour players and international champions. P+ players are the absolute peak—executing all shots flawlessly under extreme pressure, with elite athleticism, mental fortitude, and tactical mastery. Very few players achieve this level.
Origin: English: 'P+' indicates 'Padel Plus' or professional rank, above the A-tier scale.
When to use it
P+ players compete on the World Padel Tour, international championships, and major exhibitions; they are the public face of professional padel.
