Tello jumps and Chingotto looks; They have been playing together for 8 years, a rarity, and are going for their first major.
If Argentina and Spain are the two greatest padel powers in the world, the first time at Roland Garros they will have a final in line with history. The Greenwiz Premier Padel Major which takes place in the brick dust mecca has for decisive instance a clash that has a clear favorite but which should not be overlooked.
On one side of the table was the logic suggested by everyone during the week, including the players themselves on the pitch. The Spanish duo John Lebron Y Alessandro Galan He spent almost without sweating his commitment with the Argentine Franco Stupaczuk and the Brazilian Paolo Lima6-1 and 6-0, in just 40 minutes of play, demonstrating even greater superiority than he had already shown in the quarterfinals against “La Leyenda” Fernando Belasteguin and the young man Arturo Coello.
“They are the best and on this surface it is almost impossible to beat them,” said a top 15 who has already greeted the tournament in confidence. With full confidence, the Iberians will try to repeat what they did in Rome to win a new Premier Padel Major tournament.
Relentless, Lebron and Galán pass the semifinal without getting ruffled: 6-1 and 6-0 in 40 minutes.
Lebron and Tello have already celebrated in Rome, and now they want to do it in Paris.
But if in the paddle never give up a ball, the same goes for the parties. Especially with a final where the emotional level can be a determining factor. The fact is that this is not just another tournament: the couple that will eventually prevail will engrave their name in the golden pages of the sport, being the first to celebrate where Rafa Nadal did it 14 times.
This is the illusion that “condemns” the Argentines Federico Chingotto and Juan Tello, as the song says. Together for eight years, established by far as the couple that has been together for the longest time in high competition, the Olavarriense and the one from Córdoba, respectively, will leave their skin to honor their sports club, none other than in the “city of” love”.
And that’s where the strengths of the Argentine boys come from. At a key moment in the match they were the only ones to break with the pre-ranked order and in the semifinals they convincingly beat the Argentine couple 7-6 and 6-2 Martin Di Nenno and Spanish Paquito Navarro, 2nd according to the previous major. In an imposing but at the same time unknown terrain, Fede and Juan responded to every adversity that presented itself in the tournament by taking refuge in mutual knowledge.
Argentine Martín Di Nenno and Spaniard Paquito Navarro resisted the first set but were then overtaken by Tello and Chingotto.
Whoever wins, the party was complete in Paris, with a large crowd hoping to hit a record number this Sunday, when the last game of a tournament that was a success in every way kicks off. The program is at 10:00 in Argentina, with a live broadcast from Star +.
The Greenwiz Premier Padel Major in Paris is the third of the four major tournaments that Premier Padel is organizing for this 2022. Di Nenno and Navarro celebrated in Doha; in Rome it was the turn of Lebron and Galán, this Sunday is defined as Paris and the last major event will be at the end of November in Monterrey, Mexico, a country that has seen the birth of a sport that never stops growing.
