In the La Rural fairgrounds of Buenos Aires, precisely inside the Yellow Pavilion, the official presentation of the Buenos Aires Pádel Master tournament took place this Tuesday, which will have a pair of champions next Sunday, November 20th. Beyond the presence of the young Argentine number 1 Leo Augusterall eyes fell on the bahiense Juan Tello and the Olavarriense Federico Chingottowho will play their last tournament together.

In the press conference room, which hosted a multitude of journalists from various newspapers, there was also the managing director of the tournament Lysander Borges. “This is the sixth edition of the Buenos Aires Pádel Master we look forward to it with great enthusiasm. We have worked very hard, we do it constantly, year after year we try to improve and make things better and better,” she remarked.

And he added: “With La Rural, we had the courage in 2016, when many said that it had disappeared in Argentina. And paddle tennis has disappeared in the federal capital and Argentina is much more than the capital.”

After him spoke the experienced player Miguelito Lamperti (44 years).“I am proud that our sportwhich at one point was almost forgotten in 1999 and the Padel fields were coming down to form Soccer 5 or car washes and knowing that today Padel is enjoying this moment where more and more clubs are opening in the world… I always come here in January for the holidays and I do exhibitions in small towns, I don’t do in the bigger ones and It’s crazy that they have so much enthusiasm and desire“Commented the man from Bahia, who burst into tears minutes later when he remembered his beginnings.

In the center of the Yellow Pavilion, where the Central Court is located next to Court 2 of the tournament, a large number of people are expected to be in the stands when the sports stars will show their qualities on Argentine soil who, until this year , had only one appointment in the country.

But in addition, a euphoric atmosphere is expected, as a result of which the Argentine public will receive the players of the Argentina national team who were crowned World champions in Dubai just two weeks ago beating Spain 2-1 in the final.

“It’s something extraordinary. To this day I still watch the videos and I can’t believe it. I was lucky to come out as champion in the minors and in this same major selection I shared with four colleagues who were also in that title, so it was a pride for everyone,” said Chingotto, who became champion together with Fernando Bellasteguin, Daniel Sanyo Gutiérrez, Franco Stupaczuk, Martin DiNenno, Juan Tello Y Augustine Tapia.

And I add: “Playing at home with all our people, the family, gives us that plus to throw ourselves even more headlong. As we always say, it gives us strength in difficult times and it’s great to share it with people. It’s a joy to come home and have fun with Argentina”,

Every time I took the mic the Cat Tello or the Mouse Chingotto, time has begun to have an exciting nuance. Is that after 7 years since they joined forces to play together, the couple made up of Bahian and Olavarriense has decided to put an end to it all and this edition of the Buenos Aires Master will be their last dance together. And emotion took possession of Tello.

“A little excited. with nerves. We have been sharing with Faith for a long time and we have never thought about this moment. The important thing is that we are fine, we decided together, mainly me, but we decided to save the staff because we were no longer enjoying the track. Let’s think about this week, let’s try to enjoy it with our people and it’s goodbye,” she said.

“As for the emotion, I’m trying to neutralize it as much as possible.“, Chingotto completed with a slight smile that showed his nerves. And he added:” Thinking about all this excites me a lot. Yesterday we uploaded a video together that when I saw half I had to cut it out because it all comes to mind I lived with Juan. At the moment I’m trying to isolate all my emotions, focusing on playing to give my best together and certainly leaving a lot on the pitch. When the end comes, everyone’s emotion will come out.”

This edition will also see the participation of Leo Auguster, which is positioned as the leader of the Argentine ranking, when it enters through the wild card, which serves as an invitation to players. The 18-year-old told how he lives this opportunity. “It’s a dream to play with all the greats who had watched Fede, Lamperti and Juan since he was a boy. I will try to do my best with my partner, do everything possible to try and win at least one match here at the World Paddle Tour”, the boy quoted and closed: “I will fully enjoy this possibility“, held.

The announcements came through the voice of Lisandro Borges. Starting next year, La Rioja will host a second appointment in the calendar, i.e. Argentina will have two tournaments at the end of the season and, unlike the one held in the capital, there will be the female branch.

In addition, with a passion for taking the sport to unprecedented places as it has already done in the Iguazu Falls or the pyramids of Egypt, it has announced that it will bring a paddle tennis court to the Bell Jail. The all-star tournament has already started in Argentina.
