With 47 tournaments held nationwide and 383 players competing for ranking points, the women’s circuit showcased fierce rivalries, breakout performances, and inspiring moments of teamwork and resilience.
Brittany Dubins: The Unstoppable Force
Topping the women’s rankings with an impressive 9,900 points, Brittany Dubins reigned supreme throughout the 2024 NOX USPA Circuit. Her unparalleled consistency marked her dominance, as she captured titles at almost every stop on the circuit, including sweeping the majors at, Padel Haus Dumbo, P1 Las Vegas, Padel Clube, and the highly prestigious US Open Padel Championships. Overall, Dubins won five tournaments with three different partners on the USPA Circuit and led the women’s National Team at the FIP World Championships in Doha.
Dubins capped off her phenomenal season with a runner-up finish at the USPA Masters Finals, narrowly falling to Anna Cortiles and Luicelena Perez in a hard-fought final. Her resilience, mental toughness, and ability to deliver under pressure solidified her status as the top player in the U.S. women’s padel and a role model for aspiring athletes.Reflecting on her season, Dubins noted, “This year has been an incredible journey, and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved. The competition gets tougher each season, and it pushes me to keep improving. I can’t wait to see how far we’ll go in 2025.”
Anna Cortiles & Luicelena Perez: Rising to the Challenge
The pairing of Anna Cortiles Tapia (7,820 points) and Luicelena Perez (6,360 points) emerged as one of the most formidable duos on the circuit. Their standout moment came at the USPA Masters Finals, where they pulled off an upset against the top-seeded duo of Dubins and Jordana Lujan. Winning in an electrifying 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 final, Cortiles and Perez showcased their exceptional chemistry and ability to perform under immense pressure. The paring began in May with three tournament finals, and finished the year with victories at the Ultra Club USPA 1000, USTA National Campus USPA 500, and the Master Finals.
Cortiles’ versatility and Perez’s powerful shotmaking proved to be the perfect combination, catapulting them to second and third place in the final rankings.
Jordana Lujan: All Class and Consistency
Ranking fourth with 6,320 points, Jordana Lujan delivered a stellar season, partnering with Dubins for several key victories, including the Padel Clube USPA Major and Padelphia USPA 1000. Lujan’s athleticism and court coverage consistently placed her among the top competitors, solidifying her position as a key player in the NOX USPA Circuit.
Her ability to thrive against elite opponents and adapt to high-pressure moments made her a standout performer throughout the year.
Marta Morga Alonso and Carla Rodriguez Sanchez: Building Momentum
Marta Morga Alonso (5,180 points) and Carla Rodriguez Sanchez (4,000 points) were vital contributors to the circuit’s competitive depth and the women’s US National Team. They finished the year as the second and third-ranked US players, respectively.
Morga’s skill was fully displayed during the FIP World Championships in Doha, where she played a pivotal role in Team USA’s international success. In addition, Morga was the champion at the RGV USPA 1000.
Meanwhile, Rodriguez Sanchez partnered with Dubins at the P1 Las Vegas USPA Major and the US Open Padel Championships winning each tournament. The US Open victory was a historic title as the first winners of the US Open on their home soil. If Rodriguez Sanchez plays more on the circuit in 2025 she will challenge for the top spot.
Both players’ ability to adapt and excel against top-tier competition underscores their growing influence on the U.S. padel scene.
