Next week is the  P1 of Tarragona,  the occasion for  “El Gato” to begin a new association with Pablo Cardona,  a new partner that was not necessarily expected by the Argentinian who confided his frustration to Rodrigo Vazquez's microphone...

A surprise separation

 Juan Tello  does not hide his surprise. After a convincing start to the season alongside  Martín Di Nenno  with several semi-finals and a great dynamic, the duo nevertheless decided to separate. A  decision taken unilaterally by Di Nenno , who preferred to associate with  Leo Augsburger.  

“We didn't even get to discuss it in person. He called me during an event to tell me his decision. It's a decision that's still hard to understand today.”

The Argentinian keeps a  real bitter taste of this decision  which he would have definitely wanted to discuss with his partner, once again the circuit shows cruelty when it comes to  find a new play partner. 

Results and good understanding

However, nothing suggested this separation.  Tello explains that he has found a lot of pleasure again  playing with  Say Nenno,  within an ambitious project which had quickly  returned to the Top 8  global. But as is often the case in modern padel, results are no longer enough: “This is an era where projects only last a few months. Padel is losing its essence,” he laments.

Last week for their last tournament together at the  P1 of Malaga , they logically bowed to  Coello/Tapia in quarter-final 6/4 6/3. 

Incomprehension over the Cardona/Augsburger split

Asked about the other  “bombs”  of the circuit, the end of the association between  Pablo Cardona and Leo Augsburger, Tello  does not hide his incomprehension either: “It was the  version 2.0 of Coello/Tapia They had beaten everyone, even  Galán and Chingotto.  This kind of separation is damaging to the sport.”

The opinions  follow each other and are similar regarding this separation , it remains to be seen who will be right, it is the turn of  Leo Augsburger and Pablo Cardona  to respond on the track with their new partners.
