USA Goes Double: Both Men's and Women's Teams Qualify for Doha Worlds
The United States is sending both its men's and women's national teams to the World Padel Championship final phase in Doha, after a strong qualifying campaign held in Toronto. It is a historic double for American padel, and a clear signal that the sport is growing fast on US soil.
The women's team was the headline act in Toronto, securing their place in Doha two years after their last World Championship appearance. They navigated tough qualifying rounds against Canada and Mexico, showing composure and quality when it mattered most. The result confirms that the women's program is building real momentum.
The men's team matched that effort, grinding through two intense elimination ties against the same opponents. Matches against Canada and Mexico are never straightforward, and the ability to close out both series speaks to the squad's competitive mentality and improved depth.
For padel fans tracking the global game, the USA's double qualification shifts the conversation. North America is no longer just a developing market. It is producing national teams capable of competing at the sport's highest level. Doha will be a genuine test of how far they have come.
