Victoria Iglesias is a padel player recognized for her power, her competitive nature, and an uncommon offensive approach from the drive, traits that have made her a very recognizable figure in Spanish professional padel.
About Her
Born in Carmona (Seville) on May 16, 1994, Victoria Iglesias Segador is a professional padel player who usually competes in the drive position. A right-handed player, standing at 1.71 meters tall with a strong physique, she has developed a career marked by intensity, ambition, and a very visible personality on the court. From a young age, she excelled in national competitions and grassroots work, eventually becoming part of the Spanish National Team in both youth and senior categories, a clear sign of the potential always attributed to her. In the professional circuit, her name is especially associated with the period shared with Aranzazu Osoro, a highly energetic and aggressive pair that played matches recognized for their high pace and attitude. Throughout her career, she has also competed alongside top players like Teresa Navarro and Patty Llaguno, remaining for years among the top tiers of women’s padel. In April 2025, she appears in the 22nd position in the FIP ranking and embarks on a new stage with Bárbara Las Heras, with the aim of regaining consistency, confidence, and presence in the decisive rounds of Premier Padel.
Playing Style
Victoria Iglesias’s game is characterized by a well-defined idea: attacking from the drive. In a position often associated more with building the point, she has stood out for her ability to impose a high-paced padel, with a lot of net pressure and a clear intention to take the initiative. Her volley is impactful, her shot preparation is decisive, and when she finds a comfortable ball, she does not hesitate to accelerate with a powerful smash or seek a quick finish. Tactically, she aims to gain ground early, unsettle opponents with depth, and turn each favorable exchange into an attacking opportunity. This approach makes her particularly dangerous when she gains confidence, as she can string together several winning shots and change the dynamics of a match in a few points. On the flip side, her style requires taking risks, which means she alternates between phases of great brilliance and moments where unforced errors may appear more frequently. In any case, her competitive identity is very clear: character, aggressiveness, energy, and a mindset focused on dominating the court.
