Javi Garrido would choose to partner with the young Argentinian Tino Libaak after a probable separation with Martin Di Nenno just after the Qatar Major.

The first major move among the tour pairs Premier Padel should take place in the coming days with the separation of the 5th world pair: Martin Di Nenno (8e) and Javi Garrido (12th), after only three tournaments together and a defeat in the round of XNUMX at Santiago P1. Martin Di Nenno should team up with Juan Tello. Finally, Javi Garrido should therefore naturally opt for Tino Libaak.

Javi Garrido and Tino Libaak: first test in Brussels

This new duo would make its debut at the Brussels P2, just after the Qatar Major, whose registrations are already closed.

We will therefore attend the pairs one last time Tello / Libaak et By Nenno / Garrido when Qatar Major (April 11 to 19), before discovering the new associations in Brussels from April 20 to 27.

Contrasting shapes

The pair Tello / Libaak was one of the revelations of this start of the season, gaining strength as the matches went on, including a semi-final at Santiago P1, after eliminating the pair Augsburger / Cardona, which had surprised the world number ones.

On their side, Garrido et Di Nenno never really found their rhythm, with a surprise elimination in the last 10 in Santiago and no wins against a pair from the world's Top XNUMX.

Libaak on the rise

Currently 27th in the world, Tino Libaak is one of the revelations of the last two years, notably thanks to his performance in the final of the 2024 World Cup, where he was voted MVP, as well as for his excellent start to 2025 alongside Juan Tello. At only 19 years old, Libaak has already established himself as one of the best players in the world. He has also contributed to the return to form of Juan Tello this season.

It should therefore evolve with Javi Garrido, 12th in the world, from Brussels P2. A promising pair, very complementary, and with strong potential, given their young age (Libaak, 19 years old; Garrido, 24 years old).

Winning associations?

This change could also be beneficial for the respective rankings of both players (Libaak et Tello), each partnering with a higher ranked partner:

  • Juan Tello (18th) with Martin Di Nenno (8e)
  • Tino Libaak (27th) with Javi Garrido (12e)

A big sports enthusiast and former tennis player, I discovered padel a few years ago without really focusing on it. Then I became addicted to this sport by practicing it and watching the premier padel matches. Looking forward to sharing the 2025 news with you!
