The 2020 World Padel Tour was the eighth edition of the World Padel Tour, the most prestigious professional padel circuit in the world. In the male division, Alejandro Galán and Juan Lebrón dominated the circuit to be crowned number 1. In the female division Gemma Triay and Lucía Sainz were crowned number one for the first time.
Schedule In 2020, 22 World Padel Tour events were planned, with the "Master" tournaments awarding the most points, followed by the "Open" and "Challenger" tournaments. The latter, geared towards lower-ranked players, awarded the fewest points. Among the events on the calendar were the Lugo WOpen, a women-only tournament, and the men-only international tournaments in Buenos Aires, Brussels, Mexico, and Brazil. The remaining international tournaments in Båstad, Cascais, and Rome were to feature both men and women.
Two additional exhibitions were included, one in Yucatán, which was ultimately postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and another in Stockholm. The Yucatán exhibition was scheduled for March 13–15, 2020, and the Stockholm exhibition for April 15–18.
On March 10 2020, the cancellation of the second tournament of the season, the Vigo Open, was confirmed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Two days later, on March 12, the World Padel Tour announced changes to the 2020 calendar, rescheduling the Córdoba Open and the Brasil Open due to the Padel World Championship being moved from October to November. Two Challenger tournaments were also added to the calendar, in the cities of Albacete and Santander.
Due to the state of emergency declared by the Spanish government, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the tournaments following the Vigo Open, in the months of April, May and June, also had to be postponed or cancelled.
In November, the 2020 Padel World Championships were also scheduled to take place in Qatar, organized by the International Padel Federation (FIP), and whose outcome is completely independent of the World Padel Tour. All events on the calendar, except the first tournament in Marbella, were canceled or modified due to the coronavirus.
