Unless  15 years , The an García  et  Mario Brocal  have reached a rare milestone in their still very young careers. The two Spaniards received a  wild card  to compete in the qualifiers of  FIP Bronze of Mallorca , thus becoming the youngest pair to compete in a professional tournament on the FIP circuit.

Although the invitation was linked to Ian, as the tournament was being held on his island, the choice of his partner was never in question. Rather than partnering with a player  older,  he preferred to remain loyal to  Mario , with whom he has shared training sessions, travel, and finals since childhood. A baptism of fire ahead of schedule, in a competition usually reserved for players of  15 years and older. 

Already  world champions  Among the youth, winners of national and international titles, the two boys are progressing under the watchful eye of the agency.  Sperty , specializing in supporting the most promising young players in European padel.

Ian bowed out in  U14 tournament final  and simultaneously rose to  U16 tournament semi-final.  A very tall player for his age, but very agile and possessing above-average striking power.

Despite the early defeat, the Lesigny crowd immediately felt  the little extra something  Mario Brocal had. An explosive player, incredibly powerful overhead, with impressive arm speed. A  fiery character , terrifying, but capable of playing tricks on him, as we had seen on several occasions against  Bernard/Peloux A raw talent to be polished over the years. Everything is now in the hands of the Spanish club.  Sperty.
