Hard blow for the circuit Premier Padel. One of the most consistent faces in the world top 10,  Martín Di Nenno , is currently slowed down by a  ankle injury  which could well shake up the rest of his season. The Argentinian player, used to the last four, seems to be caught out by a body that is stretched to the limit.

A serious alert to the Major of Rome

It was during the  Major of Rome , one of the major events on the calendar, that everything changed. In the quarter-finals against Leal/Guerrero,  Di Nenno violently twists his left ankle  on an attempted recovery from the baseline.

Visibly affected, the Argentine  grits his teeth and finishes the match, but with a  very reduced mobility . The images of his tense face and  his ankle immediately swelled  left no doubt: the injury is serious.

A hellish schedule and choices to make

Like many other top players on the circuit, Di Nenno is playing tournaments at a frenetic pace. The 2025 calendar of the  Premier Padel  leaves little room for recovery, and some players are starting to pay the price. Di Nenno's situation illustrates this tension between  immediate performance  et  health preservation .

So far, no official announcement has been made regarding a possible withdrawal from the upcoming matches. But  a break seems inevitable  if the player wants to avoid worsening or relapsing. Missing several P1 or P2 tournaments could have consequences for the ranking, but continuing to grind one's teeth carries much greater risks in the long run.

Juan Tello in doubt for Valladolid

This injury also raises a pressing question for his current partner,  Juan Tello The Argentinian player, who formed a competitive pair with  Di Nenno , finds itself in uncertainty as the  P2 of Valladolid .

If his teammate is forced to forfeit, Tello will have to decide whether to try to find  a temporary replacement  or if he prefers to wait for Di Nenno's recovery. A decision all the more delicate since the  registration deadline  is already outdated: Tello may well be forced to  also give up the tournament  or to draw a partner from the players on the waiting list.

An injury that has put an end to the good results of Di Nenno/Tello who are finding their form in the middle of the season after a complicated start.
