Galán and Chingotto withdraw at the last minute from the FIP Platinum Veracruz

As in FIP Platinum Lyon a few weeks ago, Ale Galán et Fede Chingotto have decided to withdraw at the last minute du FIP Platinum Veracruz The world number 2 players, who were initially registered, ultimately chose not to play in the tournament.

A strategic and now recurring move that confirms one thing: All their energy will be dedicated to the two major remaining matches. , the Mexico Major and the Barcelona Finals , the only tournaments capable of leading them to the world throne.

Tapia and Coello catch their breath before the rush

The decision comes just after the Dubai P1 Where Tapia / Coello stopped the streak of three consecutive titles by the world's number 2 players and consolidated their lead in the Race 2025 : +1,080 points .

A substantial cushion… but far from being permanent, especially with 3,500 points still up for grabs between Acapulco and Barcelona.

Why Galán/Chingotto are giving up on Veracruz

With only 300 points The prize for the Platinum winners, according to Jorge Martínez's team, has been calculated:

Even by winning Veracruz they would need win Acapulco and Barcelona to hope to overtake Tapia / Coello provided that the latter are finalists in both tournaments.

In other words :
Platinum doesn't change the equation.
What changes everything? Arrive fresh at the decisive moment.

Hence this latest last-minute withdrawal, as in Lyon , deliberate and strategic.

Stupa/Di Nenno are also withdrawing

The new version of Superpibes (3.0) , also registered in Veracruz, followed the same logic: no Platinum, and a first match directly to Mexico Major .

The top 4 without the big names

With these withdrawals, the Veracruz table is organized as follows at the top:

Javi Leal / Lucas Bergamini
Momo González / Fran Guerrero
Juan Tello / Edu Alonso
Jon Sanz / Aimar Goñi

Be careful behind! Garrido / Campagnolo , semi-finalists in Dubai and serious contenders for a big win.

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 !
