We didn't necessarily expect them to be together, but Paquito Navarro et Lucas Bergamini are beginning to find their rhythm. In Argentina, the seeded 7 experienced a week full of emotions, between an electric atmosphere and a return to the final for the Spanish-Brazilian duo.

2 players return to the final

Paquito had not played a final since 532 days, Bergamini since 217. A real relief for both men, even if the qualification was made on abandonment of Galán / ChingottoIn the final, they lost to the machine. COELLO/TAPIA (6 / 2 6 / 2), but with a smile.

The Argentine public, faithful to its love for the Andalusian, has once again transformed the Park Roca in a cauldron. "They see that I smile, that I get angry, that I celebrate... They say to themselves: this one is as crazy as we are," joked Paquito, while his partner hid his face and laughed.

A complementary duo

In a relaxed press conference, Bergamini recounted the birth of their joint project:
"I told him: Give me the real Paco, not a toned-down version. I want your intensity. That's how competitive you are."

The Brazilian wants to be more stable, more calm:
"If he spreads out, I wait for him to come back. I'm here to take the hit and maintain the pair."

Between Paquito's outbursts and Berga's calm, the pair work better than expected. It remains to be seen if this chemistry will last in the upcoming encounters. But one thing is certain: the show is guaranteed.

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 !
