Javi Garrido  et  Tino Libaak  are struggling to take off. Recently formed, the Spanish-Argentine pair is experiencing a  frustrating start to collaboration , far from the expectations placed on them.

 Three tournaments, three losses on Premier Padel 

Since their first match together, the two young talents have not yet won a single match on the circuit.  Premier Padel  :

  •  In Brussels , they lost in three sets against Torre / Cepero (6/1 5/7 7/5)
  •  In Asuncion , new disappointment against Diestro / Esbrí (6/3 5/7 6/3)
  •  In Buenos Aires , a clear defeat against Lijó / Belluati (6/2 7/6)

A worrying result, especially since these matches have often been marked by slumps or a lack of consistency, despite some good moments.

 Only one success… in FIP Silver 

Their only victory came  out of the circuit Premier Padel , When  FIP Silver Alcalá de Guadaíra , facing two players well beyond the world top 500. A bright spot quickly forgotten, since they lost in the quarter-finals against Vilariño / Oria (6/2 7/6).

 No question of breaking up 

In the face of criticism and doubts,  Javi Garrido wanted to clarify the situation  on its networks:

We will continue to fight together  because I am convinced that we will reverse the trend. Thank you all for your support. The goal: to give it our all in Rome.”

A clear message that shows the determination of the Cordouan and the will of the duo of  gain stability  in a circuit where changes of partners have become commonplace.

The next big test for the duo will come at the  Major of Rome It remains to be seen whether this time the machine finally gets going.

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 !
