Fede Chingotto doesn't complain, doesn't break windows, doesn't crush smashes.
And yet: in 2025, He is one of the most decisive players on the circuit..

Alongside Galán, he transformed his style into a total weapon: precision, calmness, game reading and zero waste.

A pair that works… because it simplifies everything

With Galán, the alchemy is immediate: Chingotto covers, stabilizes, and stalls. He prepares every point that Galán finishes.

Its qualities:

  • millimeter-precise lobs,
  • “impossible” defenses
  • excellent listening skills and an unshakeable mindset

In tense moments, he is the player who doesn't tremble.

One of the most consistent players in the top four

Against Tapia/Coello, Lebrón/Stupa or Yanguas/Nieto, Chingotto always brings the same thing:
a solid foundationwhich prevents the opponent from taking control.

When he plays well, the pair wins.
When he plays “normally”, she remains the favorite.
When he plays badly… it almost never happens.

Finally, that was for the sake of the expression, because obviously against Coello / Tapia… It’s a different story and in Dubai, the world number 1 players put everyone in their place.

The anti-Coello weapon?

At the Pairs World Championship and in Milan, a tactical pattern seemed to emerge. Chingotto outpaces Coello.
He knows he'll be lobbed, so he drops back, executes a slow vibora down the middle to force Coello, who, as usual, is already very close to the net, back. Then, he accelerates at full speed to hit a volley that disrupts the formation of Coello and Tapia.

Galán will, as usual, finish the point. And, seeing that Chingotto is providing the solution, he will adopt a more aggressive mindset, whereas the end of the first set is generally difficult for the Chingotto pair against Coello/Tapia.

 Towards domination in 2026?

His maturity, his composure, his consistency, and a new racket that enhances his strengths: everything indicates that Chingotto has never been so close to the summit.

He's not a spectacular star, but he has become the backbone of modern padel.

Padel 2025 is him: a quiet revolution… but one that's winning, at least increasingly so. Is that enough to truly make the number ones doubt themselves?

I discovered the Padel I stumbled into Spain at a campsite. I was instantly hooked; passionate about padel for the past three years, I follow international and regional news with the same excitement as the sport itself.
