Padel is not only a spectacular sport due to its intensity and rhythm, it is also the scene of unique and striking expressions on the part of the players. Some celebratory gestures have become legendary, embodying both the passion and the personality of the athletes on the court.

Paquito Navarro's guitar

Impossible not to mention Paquito Navarro and his famous guitar, probably the most iconic celebration in padel. This gesture appears at key moments, when Paquito achieves a feat and the atmosphere in the stands is at its peak.

When he mimes an imaginary guitar, Paquito celebrates more than just a point: he thrills the spectators, marking a turning point in the match. It is a true signature of the Spaniard.

Jon Sanz: the DJ of padel

With his inexhaustible energy, Jon sanz found an original way to celebrate his points: he mimes the gestures of a DJ in the middle of a session. This celebration perfectly reflects his explosive personality and his ability to entertain, in addition to performing.

Lucas Campagnolo: the Spiderman of padel

Lucas Campagnolo, with his boundless energy, always offers spectacular celebrations. Among the most memorable, we remember his ascent on the protective grid after a striking victory, worthy of a Spiderman in full action.

Campagnolo doesn't stop there. He's also been spotted throwing punches in the air, like a boxer in a euphoric mood, adding a unique touch to his moments of glory.

Tapia and the head gesture

Agustín Tapia, one of the most impressive players on the circuit, celebrates his highlights with a simple but powerful gesture: he touches his head. This sign, a symbol of concentration and mental mastery, has become his trademark.

Tapia particularly popularized this gesture during the final in Chile in 2023 and in Vigo, where he and Coello clinched the world number one spot. Each time, this celebration underlines his competitive spirit and his dominance on the court.

Martín Di Nenno and his “inflador”

History Martín Di Nenno is an example of perseverance and resilience, and his celebration reflects this. At critical moments, Di Nenno squats and ignites with his arms.

The gesture became a symbol of his determination, particularly during the 2022 season, where he overcame significant physical pain to maintain his level of play.

Benjamin Dupouy

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
