They are  the two best pairs in the world  since the beginning of the season. They compete in the most prestigious finals on the circuit Premier Padel. And yet…  the atmosphere between them is anything but tense . This week in Bordeaux,  Arturo Coello, Agustín Tapia, Alejandro Galán and Fede Chingotto  have been  spotted training together , in a relaxed atmosphere, far from the intensity of official matches.

A purely sporting rivalry

On the circuit,  COELLO/TAPIA  et  Galan/Chingotto  deliver huge battles in completely epic finals. They offer us duels of rare intensity on the most beautiful tracks in the world but outside of competition,  respect and good understanding clearly dominate .

The joint session held in Bordeaux this week is proof of this: exchanges, smiles, complicity. As if this rivalry, fierce as it is on the track, was completely fading away.  once the spotlights are turned off The top 4 players in the world rankings were seen at  Forever Padel Canéjan , a new club in the Bordeaux region which is one of the training centers of this Bordeaux P2. 

A positive image for padel

This closeness between the two star duos is not insignificant. It sends a strong signal: the  High-level padel remains a sport of values ,  of mutual respect, even at the top.  By training together, these four players also show a common desire to  to progress, to raise their level, and perhaps even to inspire each other. 

In any case, we hope to see them again this Sunday for  a new final on the circuit Premier Padel,  Bordeaux could well be  the scene of a new page of history  of world padel…
