Federico Chingotto  et  Alejandro Galán  picked up at  Assumption  their  third title  of the season on the circuit  Premier Padel , after those of  Miami  et  Santiago  (final not played due to Stupaczuk's withdrawal). A hat trick which has a discreet but increasingly obvious common point:  Fernando Chingotto , Fede's father.

À  Miami , last March, Chingotto and Galán won their first title this season. In the stands? Fernando, already there, discreet, alongside  Graciela , Federico's mother. A familiar, caring presence... and visibly  lucky charm , since that day, Fede put an end to  259 days without a title , since Genoa 2024.

À  Assumption , here we go again.  Cardona and Augsburger  could do nothing against a confident, focused, but also well-supported duo. And in the stands, a familiar face:  Fernando , him again. Enough to inspire Fede, who said with a smile after the quarters:
 “Having Dad in the stands is really lucky. I'll have to take him to every tournament now.” 

 Gallant , he too, made no mistake: at the end of the final, he celebrated arm in arm with his teammate's father. A powerful, simple image that testifies to the human connection behind high-level performances.

And this is not the first time that  Fernando accompanies his son  : last year he was already there at the  Mar Del Plata P1 , where Fede and Ale had won the title after a big comeback against  Coello / Tapia .

This week, the circuit is doing just that  stopover in Buenos Aires If the patriarch is still traveling, we already know who will have an advantage in the stands.

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 !
