It is through an interview given to Olé that Sanyo Gutierrez confided in on the hottest topics of the moment. Separations, new unions and relations with the World Padel Tour, “el Mago de San Luis” returns with his usual frankness and says a little more about a possible separation with his partner, Agustin Tapia.

“I didn't think Tello – Chingotto and Di Nenno – Navarro were going to part ways”

“I actually didn't think these separations were going to happen at this time of year. But they are the best placed to make these kinds of decisions. Surely they needed it badly. Maybe some people didn't take it well but they have to understand that it's our job and if things are not going in the right direction, the best thing is to separate. I haven't spoken to them about it because it's private but I guess the reason must have been that.”

“It is best to maintain an association for at least a year”

“For me if we can maintain the union for a whole year, it's better. When we carry out a project we think about it as a couple and not individually. Today when I lose, I think of all the solutions so that we can improve with Agustin, but if after two months he decides to go play with someone else, he leaves me alone, without no partner. I like if possible to finish at least at the end of the first year. If we start together, we finish together and with our heads held high, even if the results are not what we would have liked.

Will Tapia and Sanyo stay together in 2023?

“Tapia didn't tell me anything about his possible association with Coello”

“This week he thought that Agustin was going to play with Coello in 2023 but he didn't tell me anything. Even if this information were to be true, the 2022 season is not over. We still have games left and 2023 is still a long way off for me. I imagine that Tapia must receive a lot of proposals and if tomorrow he calls me to tell me that he is going to play with someone else, I will wish him good luck, give him a last hug and voilà. "

"So far nothing has been communicated to me. There are many rumors and new pairs, if Agus decides to change, I will find someone who will want to play with me. So I don't worry and I'll see what happens.

Agustin Tapia a smash that hurts

“Playing on two circuits does not please me”

This is a subject that comes up regularly, the fatigue generated by the two circuits.

In fact between the World Padel Tour et Premier Padel, the players must chain competitions at a hellish pace and find themselves each week treading the slopes of padel around the world. For some of them, this physical load is no longer bearable.

“Personally I don't like this idea of ​​playing on both circuits, nor the situation we are currently experiencing outside. This causes discomfort and especially fatigue. Having such a busy schedule can be a real danger on a physical level because it can shorten sports careers, at least I speak for myself and some players my age”.

“We have a lot more to lose with the WPT than Premier Padel, because they are still missing something. They must succeed in shaping this circuit. At the moment what most resembles a circuit is the World Padel Tour. Now we will continue to play some trials of Premier Padel like the Major of Mexico but the tournaments of the P1 category do not suit us.”

“All players must remain united”

A few days ago, the leaders of the Spanish circuit launched an invitation to players to present the new version of the World Padel Tour, but they did not receive the expected return. proof is Pablo Lijo's open letter addressed to Alex Corretja.

“We received a letter from the WPT with an invitation to introduce us to the “New World Padel Tour”. I think that out of respect for this circuit which has done great things for so many years, with its mistakes of course, we have to give it the opportunity to listen to them. Then we, the players, will make a decision. Above all, I am with the players, and we must remain united.

You will have understood this end of the season promises to be full of surprises and if Agustin Tapia has not yet formalized anything on his side, it seems that the Argentine pair will say goodbye in December.

Several rumors announce Sanyo Gutiérrez close to the young Andalusian Momo Gonzalez. Do you think they will come true?
