If there's one name every fantasy manager needs to remember from this tournament, it's Andrea Ustero Prieto.

Her partner Ariana Sánchez Fallada (156.3 FP) was equally impressive, posting consistent numbers throughout and peaking with 59.3 FP in the final. Together, they combined for a sensational 355.5 fantasy points as a pair.

🏅 Fantasy Leaderboard – Top 10
After the dust settled in Riyadh, here's how the global fantasy rankings look after Tournament 1 of 26.
Congratulations to JL from Portugal for topping the global leaderboard after Round 1 with an outstanding 660.1 FP! The gap between 1st and 10th is currently 114.2 points – but with 25 tournaments still to play, everything can change. The race is wide open.
It's worth noting the strong Italian and Portuguese presence in the top 10 – the fantasy padel community in southern Europe is passionate and competitive. Can they maintain their dominance, or will Spanish and Latin American managers surge back in Gijón?
📝 Key Fantasy Takeaways
1. Women's points are king. Andrea Ustero Prieto alone scored 199.2 FP – 70.7 more than the top men's scorer. If you're not prioritizing your women's lineup, you're leaving massive points on the table.
2. Finals multiplier is everything. Coello and Tapia scored 49.5 FP each in the final alone – nearly 40% of their total tournament points came from a single match. Picking players who go deep is the key to winning.
3. Don't sleep on early-round performers. Ramiro Valenzuela (117.4 FP) finished 5th overall without reaching the semifinals. Javier Valdes posted 61.6 FP in the R64 alone. There's massive value in players who dominate early rounds.
4. New pairs, new opportunities. The off-season reshuffle means form is still volatile. Jensen/Icardo combined for 102.4 FP in the quarterfinals alone – keep an eye on new partnerships finding chemistry.
5. Our Best Picks delivered. Martina Calvo topped the women's R16 scoring, and Javier Garrido finished 2nd in the men's R16. If you followed our recommendations, your Riyadh roster had a strong foundation.
