The circuit Premier Padel is accustomed to changes of partners, but this time, it is a real exchange operation between two pairs: Alex Ruiz will now be associated with Juanlu esbri , While Victor Ruiz will play alongside the left-hander Jose Antonio Diestro A double movement which redraws the associations as the Milan P1 .
Diestro/Esbri, an end of cycle
The pair Diestro/Esbri had started the season with a bang, with the highlight being a feat against Coello/Tapia in the P2 in Asuncion. But in recent weeks, the momentum has faltered. Lacking results and confidence, the two Spaniards seemed to have reached their limits together, making this separation almost inevitable. The P1 in Rotterdam will therefore be their last tournament.
Ruiz/Ruiz, an aging pair
On the side of the “ Ruiz ”, the situation was different. Victor et Alex held their rank throughout the year: no major underperformance More never a real coup either. Always stopped by stronger players, they embodied a solid but limited pair, marking the end of a cycle. To continue to exist at the very highest level, a reinvention became necessary.
Focus on youth and complementarity
By separating, the two tandems open the way to two new combinations: Alex Ruiz with Juanlu Esbri , which embodies youth and passion, and Victor Ruiz with Jose Antonio Diestro , an experienced left-hander who brings welcome stability. It remains to be seen which of these new pairs will quickly find the right chemistry.
Le Milan P1 once again looks like the starting point for many new associations. Between strategic repositioning and bold bets, players are looking for the winning formula for the final stretch of the season. One thing is certain: The Italian event will offer its share of surprises.
