Sanyo Gutierrez, the world's number one padel, allowed us to have some crispy info during the final stages of the Head Padel Open 2019. We take a quirky look back at Sanyo's brand new on-court goggles, mixed tournaments of padel with Alix Collombon ... And more seriously, on his news on the professional circuit.

These glasses, a new way to play padel ?

(Laughter)… No, these are glasses that are suitable for padel and that I will keep for a month. This follows an eye operation. Nothing serious, but you just have to be patient.

That means we'll see you soon with these glasses on the pro circuit?

A priori yes. It will have to find a time of adaptation, but there is at least Mijas already. Then we will see according to the evolution of my eyes. Everything will depend on the vision I have.

If there is a mixed circuit of padel in Spain, will you play with Alix Collombon?

(Laughter) ... Alix Collombon is a very good player. If she wants to play with me, we will play together on a mixed paddle tournament.

In a more serious way: We hear here or there, that the pair with Maxi could separate? Rumor?

With Maxi, we've been playing together for a while. And the general level is very good. Rumors in the padel, we can't stop them… We say a bit of everything and anything.

I did not speak with anyone. For now, nothing is planned with Maxi to separate us. Obviously a lot depends on the results. If we feel that we must separate, we will tell ourselves. But this is not the order of the day.

In the life of a pair, there are more and less. As soon as it goes a little less, we hear everyone say that the pair could separate.

Our relationship with Maxi is excellent. And we're not ready to go our separate ways. We will play together in the next stages of the World Padel Tour.
