Sanyo Gutiérrez comes back with us on various current topics: his separation with Tapia, his return with Fernando Belasteguin, and his feelings with his new palace. Siux.

The separation with Tapia

“I heard that Agustin and Arturo Coello were talking about playing together next season. I asked him, he said no, but the rumors were getting louder and louder. And I don't know when exactly, but during training I told him that I understood that he wanted to play with Arturo next season but that I needed him to tell me so that I could find a partner. He suggested that we meet one day to discuss it and he announced it to me. I was not surprised because I expected it.”

“I am certain that this decision had an influence on our results. We no longer play with the same enthusiasm, the pair no longer have the same future, so it's different. But I think it bothered him more than it did me. He is a very young player, so these decisions may affect him a little bit.

Back with Bela in 2023

“With Bela, we made the decision to play together next season before the World Cup in Dubai. We started talking, we said things to each other, we discussed this first step that we had known together. We think that when things worked well we played very well, with three titles, four finals in the first part of the 2021 season. And then, after his injury, our level dropped a bit, and we were more distant. one towards the other.

But we know that if we manage to find this bond that we had at the beginning, we are two players capable of being competitive in any conditions and we believe that we can do better than the first time.

“The idea is to play all year together. Our goal is to play well, to find chemistry. I think we agree on that. To play well, to feel comfortable on the track, to be competitive, and if we manage to fight for the first place, perfect. But that is not the primary objective.”

“Physically we still feel very good. I don't think young people have a big lead over us. We are an experienced pair, we will know how to fight. I think Coello and Tapia gained a lot of experience, especially Agustin, who had very good teammates, and in my opinion it was time for them to make this change. They can do a long-term project, with more responsibility for them in important moments.”

“I play with the racquet that is sold commercially”

"I don't know if I will always play with the Siux SG Cooper Edition next season because it's a limited edition. We have things in the works but I don't know when it will come out yet.

“I play with the racquet that is sold commercially. There was a time when I struggled to play with commercial palas because they were too soft, but now it's different."

"For me the most important thing is the foam. I like a slightly hard, dense rubber, which absorbs less blows. And I like that the balance is oriented upwards, to have more power.”
