The Alborán · The Season
The padel year, set out properly. What's on, where, and what it means.
What lives in this section
The Season is the publication's calendar. Written, not listed. We cover the events that matter and explain why they matter. A small number of fixtures, each with context.
The professional tour, the amateur season, the cultural moments that punctuate them. The Season tells you what to watch for, and what each event tells us about where the game is going.
For the dedicated, the Season makes the year easier to follow. For the casual reader, it's the orientation we wish we'd had when we started watching.
