There are victories that can reignite momentum. That of  Paquito Navarro  et  Martín Di Nenno  in the quarter-finals of  Bordeaux P2  is part of it. Opposed to  Juan Lebrón  et  Leo Augsburg The two former partners played their most accomplished match since reuniting, winning in two sets:  6 / 3 7 / 5 .

In slower conditions in Bordeaux,  NAVARRO  et  Di Nenno  They perfectly exploited the limitations of the opposing duo. On the other side,  Augsburgers  He was never really able to establish his usual smash power, often hampered by a court that didn't allow him to finish points as easily. As a result, Lebrón had to look for other solutions, particularly with his chip shots and transitions, without really managing to disrupt the rhythm.

A great Paquito, an insurmountable Di Nenno

The first set quickly set the tone.  Paquito Navarro  took up a lot of space in the exchange, with a very heavy víbora and a real ability to force his opponents into uncomfortable positions. Alongside him,  Martín Di Nenno  delivered a great defensive game, winning back a lot of balls and forcing Lebrón / Augsburger to constantly replay.

The Spanish-Argentine pair were particularly precise in the crucial moments. Where Lebrón and Augsburger sometimes forced the issue, Navarro and Di Nenno stuck to their game plan: volume, patience, and a strong presence on key points. After a controlled first set, they withstood their opponents' comeback attempt in the second before closing out the set.  7/5 .

This victory confirms that  Navarro / Di Nenno  can still have an impact in this type of match, especially when conditions slow down the game and favor defense, variation and build-up play.

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 !
