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 AiresIf 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 !
