Juan Tello  et  Maxi Maple  They finally received their reward. The two Argentinians won the  FIP Platinum Paredes  in Portugal, dominating their compatriots in the final  Sanyo Gutiérrez  et  Maxi Sanchez Blasco  on the score of  6 / 4 6 / 2 .

This success concludes a very good week for the duo, who also benefited from a more open draw after the fall of the number 1 seed in the quarter-finals.

 Juan Tello's return to the top 

For  Juan Tello This title has a very special flavor. The Argentinian hadn't lifted a single trophy since...  Mexico Open 2022 , either there is  1 days An eternity for the former world-class player, who has gone through more complicated periods in recent seasons.

After failing in the final of  FIP Platinum of Lyon and Mexico  At the end of last season, "El Gato" finally managed to go all the way.

“We came here with the intention of winning the tournament and that was evident in this final. This is our first title together and proof that hard work always pays off,” Tello said after the match.

 A historic first for Maxi Arce 

On the side of  Maxi Maple The emotion was even stronger. The Argentinian player simply wins the  first title of his career on the FIP circuit .

A recent semi-finalist at  FIP Silver of Tirana  With Alex Arroyo, Arce confirms his rise to power and adds a prestigious line to his record.

Visibly moved after the final, he dedicated this victory to his grandfather:

“I am extremely moved. I dedicate this victory to my grandfather, but I also want to thank my family and El Gato’s family. We really wanted this title and we got it.”

 A controlled finale 

Facing an experienced pair composed of  Sanyo Gutiérrez  et  Maxi Sanchez Blasco Tello and Arce delivered a very solid performance. More aggressive in the important moments and very effective in the offensive phases, they took the lead from the first set before cruising through the second.

This first joint trophy could well definitively launch their project. For Tello, it marks a return to the forefront after more than three years without a title. For Arce, it symbolizes entering a new dimension on the international circuit.

The two Argentinians leave Portugal with a prestigious title and a lot of confidence before the rest of the season.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
