The quarter-final between Coello / Tapia and Navarro / Bergamini, disputed in the intense atmosphere of the Foro Italico, offered much more than a high-level match: it was also marked by a moment of tension between Paquito Navarro and Arturo Coello.

As the point had just turned in favor of the world number 1, Paquito got carried away, believing that Coello had dropped his racket to play the ball, which is prohibited by the regulations. The Andalusian player strongly contested the referee's decision... and the integrity of his opponent.

« If you're right, I apologize, but I think you dropped her. " said Paquito, visibly annoyed. For his part, Arturo Coello denied and the point was validated.

Un simple episode under pressure, in a very high-stakes match, between two competitors who respect each other but don't give up on the trackEverything remained on the ground... but the images quickly circulated on the networks.

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 !
