Recent winner of the WPT Amsterdam Open alongside Bea Gonzalez, Marta Ortega is delighted to be able to benefit from the support of her coach who is none other than Maxi Grabiel, ex-professional player who notably played alongside Seba Nerone or Miguel Lamperti, to name but a few.

Never really in the light when it comes to analyzing the success of a pair, the coaches are nevertheless the ones who cement the relationship between the players, set up the tactics before and during the match and know how to accentuate the development of the players. at their expense.

And it's not the current No. 5 in the rankings WPT, Marta Ortega who will say the opposite. Interviewed by our colleagues from Marca, she said: “I really wanted to train with someone who had been a player, I think that's an advantage. Maxi made the decision to retire last year and take care of Bea and me. It was a real test for us”.

In view of the results, it was a good thing for them to join forces, because the Gonzalez-Ortega pair won no less than 4 WPT tournaments under the direction of Maxi Grabiel this year, including two Open: the Danish Padel Open, Tau Ceramica Albacete Challenger 2022, Tau Ceramica Getafe Challenger 2022 and finally theAmsterdam Open.

A collaboration that is taking place under the best auspices and that does not seem to be about to stop!

Passionate about football, I discovered the padel in 2019. Since then, it's been crazy love with this sport to the point of abandoning my favorite sport.
