Two titles in the very first Grand Chelem of the history of the circuit Premier Padel, and a Qatari meeting that he approaches every year with ambition.

2022: Di Nenno and Navarro, first kings of Premier Padel

En 2022, Martín Di Nenno et Paquito Navarro write history by winning the very first tournament Premier PadelIn the final, they beat Alejandro Galán et Juan Lebrón.

2024: One last dance with Garrido

Le Qatar Major 2025 is a symbolic tournament for Di Nenno. It is his last tournament with Javi Garrido, with whom he had a contrasting adventure. In his sights: why not a third victory in Doha.

With Franco Stupaczuk's package, the Spanish-Argentine pair inherits a seeded 4, an opportunity not to be missed. This allows them to avoid a quarter against the seeds 1 to 4, which could offer them a more open table.

A delicate dynamic, but the hope of a turning point

Recent results of By Nenno / Garrido do not plead in their favor: after an elimination in the quarter-finals, Miami, a heavy defeat against Galán / Chingotto and Santiago a defeat in the eighth, good results are not there.

Di Nenno and Doha: Does the story continue?

Nevertheless, Di Nenno seems inhabited by a special energy in Qatar. Able to shine even in unstable contexts, he has proven twice that he can transform Doha into conquered territory. With this last opportunity to shine with Garrido, the time seems to have come to believe in a new last dance.

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 !
