Official FIP profileAbout Alejandro Jerez Carnero
Alejandro Jerez Carnero is a Spanish professional padel player currently ranked #98 in the world on the men's circuit, with 603 FIP ranking points.
At just 20 years old, Alejandro is one of the youngest players on the professional international circuit — a career with considerable development still ahead.
Alejandro plays on the drive side and is left-handed — left-handed players are a significant tactical asset in padel doubles, offering angles and shot shapes that right-handed opponents find unfamiliar.
Ranking in context
Ranked #98, Alejandro primarily competes on the Cupra FIP Gold circuit — the second tier of international padel — with Premier Padel qualifying as a reachable next step.
The FIP world ranking is calculated on a rolling 52-week basis. Points are earned at Premier Padel events (Majors, P1, P2) and Cupra FIP Tour events (FIP Gold, FIP Silver), with larger events awarding proportionally more points. Rankings are updated every Monday.
The Cupra FIP Tour is the second tier of international padel — the primary development pathway from national competition into the Premier Padel circuit. FIP Silver events are open-category, meaning both professionals and high-level amateurs can enter qualification, making them highly competitive.
Technical profile
Drive-side players occupy the right-hand side of the court (for right-handed players) and are typically responsible for deep defence, cross-court play, and initiating attacks off the back glass. Height is a significant advantage on the drive side — tall players can reach high balls that would bounce past shorter opponents.
On the drive side, Alejandro's role in a partnership involves controlling the diagonal, defending the lob, and setting up attacking sequences for the left-side partner.
At 186cm, Alejandro is above average height for the professional circuit — a clear advantage for reaching high balls and generating power on overhead shots.
Spanish padel
Spain is the spiritual home of padel. The sport was formalised there in 1969 by Enrique Corcuera and the country has produced more world number ones than any other nation. With over 3 million registered players and 20,000 courts, Spanish players dominate the international circuit. Growing up in Spain means competing from a young age in one of the world's most competitive development pathways.
