The WPT Danish Open 2023 (officially WPT Cupra Danish Padel Open 1000 2023) was the eight tournament of the eleventh edition of World Padel Tour. The final phase was held between May 16 and 21, 2023 at the "Royal Stage" facilities, while the preliminary phase was played between March 13 and 16.
In the women's category, the "Superpibas" Bea González and Delfina Brea broke the hegemony of the top two ranked pairs, after many months in which only they had won tournaments. The Spanish-Argentine duo defeated the number 1 seeds Ariana Sánchez and Paula Josemaría in the semifinals 7–5, 7–6 after an incredible comeback, and in the final they beat the number 2 seeds Alejandra Salazar and Gemma Triay for the first time this year, 6–2, 3–6, 6–4. By winning the tournament, Delfi Brea and Bea González showed that they were an alternative to the established powerhouses on a women's circuit dominated in recent times by Arianna, Paula, Gemma, and Alejandra. The latter two continue to extend their record for consecutive finals played and reduced the gap to the number 1 seeds.
In the men's category, the "Superpibes" Franco Stupaczuk and Martín Di Nenno seized their opportunity, with the top two ranked pairs withdrawing, and won their second tournament this year (their first World Padel Tour title) by defeating Momo González and Sanyo Gutiérrez 6–3, 6–2 in the final, having won all five of their matches in straight sets. Just like Delfi and Bea on the women's circuit, Stupaczuk and Di Nenno positioned themselves as the alternative to the established powerhouses Alejandro Galán, Juan Lebrón, Agustín Tapia, and Arturo Coello. After the finals win the "Superpibes" became the number 2 pair in the "race" and establishing themselves as candidates to fight for number 1 this year.
Relevant data Without the two best male pairs Just before the tournament started, the brand new number 1 Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia announced that they would not be able to participate, due to an overload of Arturo. On the other hand, Alejandro Galán and Juan Lebrón also had to withdraw from the tournament before starting their round of 16 match, due to a relapse of Lebrón, who had not yet fully recovered from his arm injury. Without the two top seeds, the "Superpibes" (ranked number 3 pair) seized their opportunity and won the tournament.
In this way, since Tapia was defending many points this week, he and Coello were going to lose the number 1 ranking at the end of the week, regardless of what Galán and Lebrón did in the tournament.
Pair changes in the lower-middle part of the bracket New pairings were formed for this tournament, some permanent and others circumstantial. The separation of the Catalans Marc Quílez and Toni Bueno and the Argentinians Miguel Lamperti and Valentino Libaak also provoked the separation of Jaime Muñoz and Ignacio Vilariño, therefore, the following exchange took place: Quílez with Libaak, Lamperti with Muñoz and Toni Bueno with Vilariño.
First Italian in the quarterfinals Victoria Iglesias injury led her partner, Patty Llaguno, to look for a replacement for the tournament, and she chose the Italian Carolina Orsi. This allowed Patty to return to playing on the backhand side, her natural position. In her debut, they defeated the twins Mapi and Majo Sánchez Alayeto in three sets. Then, in the round of 16, they beat the C-ranked qualified team, reaching the quarterfinals and making Carolina Orsi the first Italian player to reach this stage of a World Padel Tour tournament. However, they lost to the number 1 seeds.
