We knew that Federico Chingotto was a maestro of defense, viboras and exits from the track... but at Guadalajara , during a match of Pro Padel League across Edu Alonso / Fede Chingotto et Juani Rubini / Andrés Lancha , the Argentinian surprised everyone with a smash from elsewhere .
While his teammate Edu Alonso, positioned on the left, had been overwhelmed, Chingotto came to cover his side to slam a topspin smash , hit behind the line , which has gone back more than 3 meters high , totally impossible to defend.
The crowd was left speechless, as were the opposing players. It was said that Galán needed a left-handed smasher as Cardona by his side… but he already has his smasher: his name is Federico Chingotto And he pulled a Tapia trick on us, which will go down in history.
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 !
