Surprise in the pairs registered for the Malaga P1: Gonzalo Alfonso will team up with Aris Patiniotis. An unexpected association, especially since the two players recently made it official new projects with other partners. Alfonso is supposed to start an affair with Sanyo Gutierrez from Bordeaux, while Patiniotis launches with Ignatius Sager.

So, what happened?

It's hard to say at the moment. What is certain is that Gonzalo and Aris find themselves aligned together in the Andalusian tournament. A surprising choice, especially regarding Alfonso, who is indeed registered with Sanyo the previous week in Bordeaux. Something to wonder about: scheduling problem, temporary unavailability, or simple one-off adjustment?

So far, there is no information suggesting that Sanyo Gutiérrez is injured or out, but the announcement of this “intermediate” pair is intriguing. Case to follow…

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 !
