Paquito Navarro and Martin Di Nenno  They meet again in the final four. Since their reunion, the two men will play their  third semi-final And as in the two previous cases, the same wall stands before them:  Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia .

So far, the Spanish-Argentine pair has never found a way past the world number ones. Will this third attempt finally be the charm?

 Third semi-final, third encounter with the number 1s 

Since they decided to reform their partnership,  Di Nenno and Navarro  quickly regained their place among the best teams on the circuit.

But each time they reached the semi-finals,  Tapia and Coello  blocked their path, with matches largely dominated by the league leaders.

In London, history offers them a new opportunity. But to hope to change the course of events, they will certainly need to play their best match since the start of their new partnership.

 Paquito and Di Nenno emerge from a major battle 

In the quarterfinals,  Navarro and Di Nenno  had to work hard to overcome Edu Alonso and Aimar Goñi  :  7/5 6/7 6/3 .

A big fight that could have two consequences. On the one hand, this victory could bring them a lot of  confidence After managing to control a close match that went to the third set, she inevitably leaves her mark before facing a pair that is virtually unforgiving.

Because on the other side, the journey was much more peaceful.

 Tapia and Coello arrive fresh and confident 

Since the beginning of  London P1 The world number ones are cruising. They haven't dropped a single set yet and dispatched their quarter-final opponents with ease.  Mariano González / Curro Cabeza ,  6 / 1 6 / 2 .

 Tapia and Coello  They will therefore arrive with more freshness and, above all, with the confidence of two players who know perfectly well the recipe to beat Navarro and Di Nenno.

On paper, they will once again be the overwhelming favorites.

 Pretoria showed they were beatable. 

But a small door remains open.

Last week at  Pretoria ,  Javi Leal and Fran Guerrero  had managed the feat of bringing down Coello and Tapia. Proof that, even when they seem untouchable, the number ones can be shaken up.

And this end to the first half of the season could also be a factor. Tapia and Coello almost always go all the way in tournaments and therefore accumulate a huge number of matches. Just a few hours before the holidays, the  physical and mental fatigue  may begin to be felt.

Paquito and Di Nenno will need to be able to take advantage of any opportunity immediately.

 Experience is needed to achieve the feat? 

In a single match,  Paquito Navarro and Martin Di Nenno  They have the weapons and, above all, the experience to worry any pair.

They will certainly need to take more risks, be flawless in crucial moments, and avoid letting Coello and Tapia dictate the pace. So far, they haven't found a way past the number ones since their reunion.

 Third attempt this Saturday in London.  So, can Paquito and Di Nenno finally shake Tapia and Coello?

Response,  not before 16:30 p.m. , on center court.

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 !
