In an interview given to Veinte Diez Pádel and taken up by Olé Padel, Federico Chingotto talked about his next collaboration with Paquito Navarro, which he considers to be “a great opportunity”.

The Paquito / Chingotto pair that should take shape during the World Padel Tour Granada Open is already making a lot of noise in the professional world.

After announcing a few days ago the end of his adventure with Javi Garrido, the native of Olavarría in Argentina will soon be treading the slopes alongside the Sevillian. He explains the reasons for this decision.

Chingotto

A new dynamic of change

“I left the project with Tello which lasted a long time and now I am entering this dynamic of change.

But these are things that emerge: in my case, I don't change because an objective was not achieved or because it was not what I expected. It's more of a bet because I believe that now I can aspire to other things.

I discussed it with Javi (Garrido): he was happy with the progress, but an opportunity presented itself and that's good. “

A dream opportunity

"As you know, I'm going to play with Paquito Navarro, who was number one and won many titles. He will give me experience and calm at times, that's what I need. “

The Paquito–Tello Adventure

“Paco made a bet to see how he felt on the right. With Juan (Tello) they could form a very difficult pair on a fast track, but they couldn't find the right recipe.

Paco is a player on the left: when he turned, he was completely relaxed and on the right much more tense.

Now it's my turn to try a project with him: he's a number one, one of the best in Spain, and I'm going to enjoy it.

Paquito and Chingotto: what next for this pair?

"I don't want to cut corners. Obviously, he's used to fighting for titles and number one. And that's also my idea.

We will try to do things well to improve as we go, release our best version and give everything on the pitch. “
