The Master List / Updated 2 November 2026
Every pro ← Zurdo in world padel
The only complete record of professional left-handed padel players on the planet — FIP world ranking, Race-to-finals standing and career titles. One list. The 10% who play the angles no one else can see.
The world number one is a Zurdo.
Arturo Coello plays off his left hand. So do 41 other professionals on the FIP tour, and this page tracks all of them — every left-handed padel player holding a world ranking, updated monthly from the official Federación Internacional de Pádel lists.
Zurdos are around 10% of the world. Roughly 3.5 million of them play padel. At the top of the professional game that share carries its weight: 42 left-handers ranked, seven inside the world’s top 20, eighteen inside the top 50, and 72 Premier Padel titles between them.
The reason sits in the geometry of the court. Padel is played in pairs — one player on the left side, one on the right. A right-hander on the left has their forehand in the middle. Put a Zurdo on the right and the pair has two forehands covering the centre, the most contested space on court. Angles open that a right-right pairing cannot produce.
Spain leads the register with 21 players, then Argentina and Italy with six each — nine countries in all. Sixteen women, twenty-six men. Search, filter and sort the full list below.

Left-handed padel players — common questions
How many professional padel players are left-handed?
42 left-handed players currently hold a FIP world ranking — 26 men and 16 women. Seven of them sit inside the world’s top 20 and eighteen inside the top 50.
Who is the highest-ranked left-handed padel player?
Arturo Coello of Spain, ranked world number one overall, with 41 Premier Padel titles. Paula Josemaría is the highest-ranked woman at world number five, with 23 titles.
Do left-handed players have an advantage in padel?
A structural one. Pairing a Zurdo with a right-hander puts both forehands in the centre of the court, which is where most points are decided. Serves, bandejas and smashes also arrive on a mirrored line that opponents simply face less often — roughly nine in ten players they meet are right-handed.
Which side of the court should a left-hander play?
Conventionally the right side, so the forehand covers the middle. It is not a rule. Several professionals play the left and build their game around backhand-side angles instead.
Which countries produce the most left-handed pros?
Spain, with 21 of the 42 players on this list. Argentina and Italy follow with six each, then Great Britain with three. France, Germany, Singapore, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates complete the register.
How often is the register updated?
Monthly, from the official FIP rankings at padelfip.com. The list currently shows the standings as of 2 November 2026.
