After his victory at FIP Platinum Mexico, Alex Ruiz bursts into tears on his bench, overwhelmed by emotion. A scene reminiscent of that of Bordeaux P2, where he had cracked in the same way after his victory in the semi-final with Momo González against Tello / Belasteguín.
This season has not been easy for the Spaniard, marked by changes of partners and irregular results. His start of collaboration with Alex Arroyo was complicated, with eliminations in the quarter-finals at FIP Gold Lyon visit us at the FIP Platinum Marbella, and at P2 NewgizaDespite these disappointments, Ruiz continued to work to return to a good level.
This victory in Mexico is all the more important as it allows him to pocket 250 point and climb to the 16th place in the Race, synonymous with qualification for the Final MasterThis moment of intense emotion on the bench reflects both the satisfaction of this late success in the season and the awareness that he is still in the race.
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 !
