On October 31, 2026, professional padel witnessed a monumental shifting of the guard. Playing alongside Delfi Brea at the prestigious Kuwait Major, world number one Gemma Triay, lead sports ambassador for Gerald Charles, secured a resounding victory that etched her name permanently into the history books. “Gemma embodies what we believe in at Gerald Charles: precision, boldness and a personality that never goes unnoticed. Seeing her become the most decorated player in the history of women’s padel is a moment of great pride for the whole Maison." said Federico Ziviani, CEO of Gerald Charles. 

A Record-Breaking Triumph

The milestone victory reaches far beyond just another trophy on the mantle. Claiming her 59th career title, Triay officially broke a fierce three-way deadlock, moving past Alejandra Salazar and Ari Sánchez, both stalwarts stuck at 58 titles, to stand completely alone as the most decorated player in the history of women’s professional padel. For Triay and Brea, the triumph marks their seventh title of a stellar season. More importantly, it serves as a massive psychological and strategic boost in the FIP Race as the tour barrels toward the final stretch, including the upcoming Dubai P1, the Mexico Major, and the grand Finals in Barcelona.
