An intense but decisive first round

The start of the match is nevertheless ideal for  Galan and Chingotto , very focused and well in place. Facing them, a  Feverish Coello , struggling in defense and author of several unforced errors. On the other side,  Wall  starts off strong, but it's not enough to avoid an early break in favor of the second seed. Thanks to a well-thought-out strategy, playing quickly with their feet and breaking the rhythm, Chingotto and Galán lead 2/4.

But Coello is getting more powerful. More precise, especially by using  lobs to Galán  to prevent him from smashing, he gradually regains his level. At 4/2, the Spanish-Argentine pair breaks, then continues. Chingotto and Galán, who must maintain great lucidity to apply their tactics, show signs of slackening.

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 !
