Alejandra Salazar
Alejandra Salazar led the World Padel Tour's women's division in titles won in three separate seasons — 2016, 2021, and 2022 — a spread of dominant years across nearly a full decade that few other players in the women's game have matched. Partnered with Gemma Triay starting in 2021, Salazar was crowned world number one for a second time that year, their first as a pairing, and the two held the top ranking together for three consecutive periods before being dethroned in 2023. Salazar's career has also included multiple World Championship titles representing Spain, sustaining elite-level competitiveness across nearly two decades in a sport whose infrastructure and prize money grew substantially over the course of her career. Her combination of leading the tour in titles across three separate seasons spanning almost a decade and her multiple stints at world number one has made Salazar one of the most enduringly decorated players in women's padel history.
VS
Fernando Belasteguín
Fernando Belasteguín, known throughout the sport as "Bela," held the World Padel Tour's world number one ranking from 2002 to 2017 — 16 consecutive years, the longest run atop the rankings in the sport's history — and retired with a record 230 career titles from 286 finals. His partnership with Juan Martín Díaz held the world's top doubles ranking for 13 straight seasons, from 2002 to 2014, winning 170 titles together, and between September 2005 and May 2007 the pair went undefeated for one year and nine months, a streak of 22 consecutive tournament wins. After that partnership ended in 2014, Belasteguín paired with Pablo Lima and held the world number one ranking for a third consecutive season in 2017, closing out a stretch of world number one rankings spanning parts of three different decades with two different partners. His combination of a record 230 career titles and his unmatched 16 years as world number one has made Belasteguín almost universally regarded as the greatest padel player the sport has produced.
