Le  P2 of Cancun  has held its share of surprises, notably the return of  Sanyo Gutiérrez  in the final four of a tournament  Premier Padel , a performance he hadn't achieved for almost  two years However, despite this encouraging result, the association between  Sanyo and Gonza Alfonso  will not survive  Miami P1 The two players decided to  end their collaboration  to embark on new projects on the circuit.

 A separation despite good results 

One of the paradoxes of this separation lies in the fact that the pair had just shown encouraging signs, particularly with this  semi-final in Cancún , which marked the return of  Sanyo Gutiérrez  at this level on the circuit  Premier Padel ,  728 days  after his last appearance in the semi-finals.

But despite this improvement in results, the decision was made to  change direction . After  Miami The two players will follow different trajectories:

  •  Sanyo Gutiérrez  will form a new pair with  Victor Ruiz 
  •  Gonza Alfonso  will associate with  Javi Barahona 
Sanyo and Gonza shine when it comes to saying stop, do they really have to separate?

 Sanyo discusses the reasons for the breakup 

In an interview given to the journalist  Joaquin Serna The Argentinian player spoke candidly about the reasons that led to this separation.

According to him, certain discussions surrounding the continuity of the pair have left their mark:

"There were things that caused problems when we decided to continue together, and that came out in important moments."

Sanyo explains, in particular, that the reflection around the  ranking  and future opportunities have weakened the sporting relationship between the two players.

"We parted ways in Acapulco knowing we made a good pair. But after the tournament, the idea was more to take some time to see if it was worthwhile to continue depending on the rankings. And that bothered me."

For the Argentinian player, the choice of a partner should not be dictated solely by considerations of  ranking .

"What bothers me is when you're not chosen based on affinity, but by default or solely based on ranking."

 A circuit where patience is scarce. 

Beyond his personal situation,  Sanyo Gutiérrez  also pointed to a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly visible on the circuit: the  fragility of associations , particularly in the middle zone of the rankings.

According to him, the  best pairs on the circuit  benefit from a stability that many other players do not have.

"The best have an advantage. The others often change partners and end up playing with just anyone."

For Sanyo, this instability prevents certain pairs from truly progressing and competing with the  teams established at the top of the rankings .

In this context, the next challenge for the Argentinian player with  Victor Ruiz  will be to quickly find  solid reference points  to establish a lasting place in the circuit's hierarchy.
