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!
