Convincing debuts for Javi Garrido and Leonel “Tolito” Aguirre in Bordeaux Premier Padel P2. In their first match together, the Spaniard and the Argentinian were able to turn around a bad situation to win. 3/6 6/3 6/1 face Gonzalo Rubio et Javi Ruiz.

The first set did not bode well. Garrido and Tolito give in on the score of 3/6.

But everything changes at the start of the second set. Garrido is gaining momentum, becomes more enterprising, dares more in return and begins to dictate the game. Tolito, true to his unpredictable style, brings his touch of madness at the perfect moment. The duo reverses the dynamics and equalizes at one set each (6/3), with a clear improvement in his service games and a stronger psychological impact.

In the third, the two men unroll. Opposite, Rubio and Ruiz lower the foot, without response to the imposed rhythm. The final score, 6/1, reflects this progressive domination.

This victory has a special value for Javi Garrido, who is coming out of a difficult period. After 69 days without a victory on the circuit Premier Padel, he had found his smile again Valladolid, and this success in Bordeaux confirms its back in shape.

Next step : a clash against Paquito Navarro and Lucas Bergamini in the round of 16. A real-life test for this new, explosive duo.

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 !
