Yesterday as you already know, the world N ° 1 Sanyo Gutierrez and Maxi Sanchez lost in 2 sets against Agustin Tapia and Nacho Gadea. According to you, surprise or predictable defeat?

At Padel Magazine, we do not have the crystal ball, but with a little hindsight, some elements play in favor of Tapia / Gadea.

The importance of the coach: 
Sanyo and Maxi arrived at the match without a coach! The pair N ° 1 had no one on the bench while all other seeded players had a coach. It is clear that in the high level, the importance of the coach is more than key to cope with difficult times and manage emotions.

The pace of play: 
Tapia / Gadea had already played a fantastic 16 of the final by eliminating the child of the country Josete Rico and his partner Victor Ruiz. The Spanish-Argentinian pair had already found their rhythm of play and first marks on the ground whereas Sanyo and Maxi returned directly in 8ème.

The latest disturbing results: 
After the elimination in the quarterfinals in Valladolid and in 8e finals in Sweden, the pair N ° 1 world needed to improve its image with a good tournament in Valencia. Visible lack of confidence and recent defeats make the situation critical in the 1 clan.
