Since several weeks, Tolito Aguirre and Gonzalo Alfonso are much talked about on the international scene. The “Magicos” chain the FIP tournaments and Premier Padel, with the aim of collecting a maximum points and thus secure a place in main board tests of QSI circuit.

And their bet paid off. After their victory at the FIP Platinum Puebla, where they pocketed 300 point, Argentines soar in FIP ranking, now occupying 47th and 53rd places. An achievement, when you consider that they had started the year outside the top 100, thus gaining nearly 90 to 100 places in just one month.

A rise that makes teeth grind

However, this lightning progression does not please everyone. Some players and observers criticize the opportunities created by the boycott of several tournaments Premier Padel, in particular to Gijon and Cancun, due to the conflict between the PPA and QSIFor these detractors, certain pairs, including Aguirre and Alfonso, would take advantage of the absence of the headliners to collect points more easily and climb the rankings more quickly.

For its part, the PPA (Professional Football Players Association) Padel) recently recalled in a press release that Each player is free to choose their own path, demanding that individual decisions be respected.

Tolito Aguirre responds with irony

In the face of criticism, Tolito Aguirre was quick to react, and he did it directly through an Instagram story after his title in Puebla:

“Champion opportunists! Like we’re the only pair to sign up for a tournament, right?”, he wrote, accompanied by ironic emojis.

A clear message to those who question the legitimacy of their rise.

Heading to Cancun for the “Mágicos”

Despite the controversy, Tolito and Gonza have no intention of slowing down and will be back this week on the P2 of Cancun. A tournament where Juan Lebrón and Franco Stupaczuk are announced as the big favorites for the title.

The “Mágicos” will therefore have a new opportunity to prove their worth and continue their ascent on the circuit Premier Padel, whatever their detractors say.

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 !
