After their coronation at FIP Gold Walls , Tolito Aguirre and Gonzalo Alfonso present themselves as the favorites of the Gijon P2 , a tournament that promises to be very special following the boycott of the world's best pairs. And for good reason: No top 100 players are in the table , the highest ranked being Simone Cremona (105th in the world) . Suffice to say that the field is clear for the Argentinians, who have already proven their status as favourites by dominating the final in Paredes. Deus brothers , classified 60th and 70th in the world .
A huge challenge for Tolito and Alfonso
Their victory in Portugal allowed them to add a nice line to their list of achievements, but above all to pocket 300 FIP points , bringing their total to 790 points . With this capital, they are already at the gates of the final table of major tournaments de Premier Padel.
But the real opportunity is in Gijón: If they win this P2, they would add 1200 extra points , thus reaching 1990 points in the ranking. This figure is crucial, because when Riyadh P1 , the last qualified for the final table (round of 16) were 1585 points . A victory here would therefore open up the doors of the Majors and P1 , where the biggest points are played and where they can really compete with the best.
From the king of A1 Padel to the conquest of Premier Padel
Tolito and Alfonso do not hide: after dominating A1 Padel , they now want to take a step forward and to establish itself among the elite of world padel . At A1 Padel These were impressive figures which testify to their hegemony :
- 147 sets won for only 28 lost , proof of flawless domination.
- 11 titles in 16 tournaments , thus breaking the record of 10 tracks detained by Maxi Arce and Franco Dal Bianco since 2023.
- 78 matches played for 72 victories i.e a success rate of over 92% .
This tournament in Gijón is a key step in their progression and could well be the turning point of their career . After their Victory at FIP Gold Paredes , they arrive with maximum confidence and know that they have a golden opportunity to prove that they belong at the highest level.
So all eyes will be on them in Gijón, to see if they can confirm their status and take a decisive step towards the summits of Premier Padel .
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 !
