Despite an interesting start at the end of last year, notably with a title acquired at the Mexico Open, the Navarro / Tello association is about to end after Paraguay Padel Open in ten days. It's time to look at the options available to Paquito to bounce back from the South American tour.

A recovery to the left

The Andalusian will certainly resume his place as a player on the left after the latest failures. It is therefore a right-wing player that the Sevillian will try to find, but who? Few players who can claim to pair with Paquito are available in the market.

Paquito / Fede possible?

The first idea would be to convince Federico Chingotto to upset his plans and come alongside the Spaniard. The Argentinian would have the ideal profile: a pure, tireless and solid right-wing player who would allow Navarro to express all his talent. However, “Fede” seems determined to continue his association with Javier Garrido, even if the two men have not yet passed the quarter-finals stage in a tournament.

Sanyo…

Navarro should also watch Sanyo Gutierrez closely, as the Argentinian and Fernando Belasteguin withdrew for "professional reasons" from the Chile Open. There may be something to play on that side to form an explosive cocktail.

The Lebron fantasy

Finally, among the top players, the Andalusian could take advantage of the bad start of the world numbers 1 to find Juan Lebron. The latter's competitive spirit is undoubtedly undermined by the eliminations at the start of the season as well as the controversy between his partner Alejandro Galan and Lisandro Borges. A tiny possibility; almost a fantasy to see Paquito and El Lobo together again.

Whatever the exit door, Navarro will have to think over the next few days, and his choice will certainly depend on the results of these various players during the end of the South American tour.
