Fede Chingotto is undoubtedly experiencing the strongest period of his career. At the dawn of the Barcelona FinalsThe Argentinian player spoke to Mundo Deportivo and discussed his current form and his association with Ale Galán and his ambitions for the future.
“I’m in the best moment of my career”
Chingotto puts it simply: he plays his best padelDespite a very consistent season with Galán, he feels he can still improve.
"I haven't reached my ceiling, I still have room to grow. I want to continue learning."
And while the top two pairs dominate the finals, Fede offers a more nuanced perspective: the gap isn't that wide. Every match is a battle, and the rivals are working to close the distance.
The key to competing with Tapia and Coello
Face the duo Tapia–CoelloIt's like trying to stop a train traveling at full speed. But Chingotto and Galán have found the answers to make them doubt.
"They're blocking our path. But we're working as a team to turn things around."
For Fede, facing Arturo Coello is almost a personal challenge: a mental duel as much as a technical one.
A unique team relationship with Galán and Jorge Martínez
The images speak for themselves: the trio Chingotto–Galán–Jorge Martínez It exudes cohesion.
"We share everything, even the moments of frustration. It helps us get the best out of each other."
And Galán?
"It's the perfect pairing for me. He unleashed this version of Fede that you see today."
A clear message for next season: “Chingalán” continues in 2026.

Managing criticism and proving oneself again
Chingotto had long heard that he was just a few centimeters too short to aim higher. He turned these remarks into motivation:
"I see this as a personal challenge. I know I can compete."
Mental strength is part of his ongoing progress.
Strong memories of Barcelona
Le Palau sant jordi occupies a special place in his career.
In 2022, he delivered a remarkable performance there with Martín Di Nenno.
In 2023, he won the Finals with Paquito Navarrobefore going to embrace his mentor Gaby Reca :
"He's like a father to me."
He doesn't forget either Juan Tello, his partner for eight years, with whom he built everything.
The ultimate goal: number 1
He doesn't hide it:
“I have one last ambition: to be world number oneI'm happy with my career, but I want to go even further.
Fede is moving forward, true to his style: hardworking, humble, and totally committed to his sport. And while the quest for the world number one spot is still ongoing, Chingotto is showing that he has everything it takes to achieve it.
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 !
