Sanyo Gutiérrez and Paquito Navarro took their revenge against Javi Rico and Juanlu Esbri au Premier Padel Qatar Major. Relieved to have been able to win a difficult match, the Argentinian, who will play this Thursday in the semi-final, was in a teasing mood after the match.
On his Instagram, the San Luis native shared a post with a message specially addressed to Javi Rico: “I hate you with all my soul”. A message that is obviously both humorous and affectionate given the smileys that follow it.
It must be said that the left-handed Rico is quite a client on the right diagonal. Sanyo had already paid the price last December in Milan, when he lost with his cousin Agustin against Javi and Rafa Mendez, before of course this defeat in Riyadh.
A very intelligent and very technical player, Javi Rico always poses a lot of problems for his opponents. We also remember that Arturo Coello declared in an interview for Instinct Padel that he was the player who caused him the most problems diagonally. It's not Sanyo who will say the opposite!
