Moment of tension during the A1 Padel Cordoba Open. While he was defending a point at the baseline, Aimar Goñi violently hit the rear window, which could not withstand the impact and shattered into a thousand pieces. Fortunately, more fear than harm for the young Spanish player of 19 years old and 1m90, who has emerged unharmed.

The match was interrupted for a few moments to allow the organizers to secure the track, but this did not distract Goñi and his teammate “Tito” Allemandi, who finally won the match against Rolla and Facu Lopez.

A notable precedent with Paquito Navarro :

This incident is reminiscent of a similar event that occurred a seven yearsWhen Paquito Navarro had violently smashed a window while defending a ballUnlike Goñi, the Andalusian was not so lucky, suffering several cuts to the scalp, arms and back, requiring stitches at the knee and elbow pads.

While this spectacular scene highlights the intensity of modern padel, it also raises questions about window strength and player safety. A reminder that padel can sometimes be scary, even outside of rallies..

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 !
