The question of why a separation between Jon sanz et Coki Nieto after their triumph at the Premier Padel Finals arises. While rumors already evoke new projects for the two players in 2025, in particular the desire to Jon sanz to associate with Momo González, this possibility raises questions. Especially since they have just signed one of the most remarkable performances of their career.

A solid season and a historic victory

The duo Sanz / Nieto had a respectable season, with several appearances in the last four of major tournaments, a title at Bordeaux P2 and a resounding title at Premier Padel Finals, where they beat the World number 1 Tapia and Coello. This victory, which ends the series of 47 consecutive wins of their opponents, is proof that their collaboration has matured and reached a high competitive level.

Building a pair capable of competing with giants like Tapia / Coello ou Galan / Chingotto requires time, work and patience. The project Sanz / Nieto seems to be bearing fruit. Interrupting this dynamic could prove counterproductive, especially after having demonstrated that they can compete with the best.

Rushing: A Trap in the Pairs Market

In the professional padel, new associations are often dictated by the urgency of immediate results. However, these hasty decisions do not always guarantee success. Many pairs formed in the euphoria of a change have quickly dissolved, such as Sanyo / Arroyo or Bellasteguin / Tello for example, due to a lack of cohesion or complementarity on the long term. Sanz and Nieto, on the other hand, have already proven that they can work together, and their victory shows that their collaboration is reaching a level of strategic maturity.

Competitive context and necessary perspective

It is important to put their situation in the current context of the circuit. Facing dominant pairs like Tapia / Coello ou Galan / Chingotto over a full season is a big challenge. It is therefore important to have perspective on their performances and understand that building a team capable of competing with these heavyweights takes time. Stopping a partnership which bears fruit could be a strategic mistake.

What if victory was a turning point?

This victory could be the moment to consolidate their collaboration, rather than to call it into question. Sanz and Nieto have proven that they have the weapons to go and get major titles. It would perhaps be a shame not to capitalize on this positive dynamics and start again from scratch with new partners.

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 !
