The results of the beginning of the season 2025 are shaping up to be crucial. All players have ambitious goals, and if performances don't live up to expectations, the separations could quickly multiply. In this context, several circumstances could favor the return of historical pairs, which have already proven their effectiveness and left their mark on padel.

Already memorable returns

En 2024, some reformations have left their mark:

  • Juan Lebrón et Paquito Navarro, who delivered spectacular matches after their meeting.
  • The return of Paquito next to Sanyo Gutiérrez.
  • The reformation of the historic duo Sanyo-Maxi Sanchez, formerly world number 1.

What reunion is possible in 2025?

If the results don't come true for some new associations, here are the pairs that could potentially reform:

  • Lebron and Galan : Their brief return at the last World Championship gave a glimpse of the dominant duo they were. While their respective runs disappoint in 2025, their reunion could become a logical option again, despite the differences between the two players.
  • The Superpibes (Franco Stupaczuk and Martín Di Nenno): These two Argentine talents have proven their worth together in the past. A reunion could happen if they underperform with their current partners, especially since both players have improved with their new partners since their split.
  • Fede Chingotto and Juan Tello : Separated since the end 2022, this duo remains in the memories as one of the most emblematic. A bad start in 2025 and potentially a separation between Ale Galan and Federico Chingotto could reopen this door.
  • Coki Nieto and Jon Sanz : Their complementarity and their results in 2024 had left their mark. Their separation seems premature, and a return would be logical if the results are not there, in fact they left on very good results.

    And what about the ladies?

    On the women's side, some historic pairs could also resurface:

    • Bea González and Marta Ortega : If the González/Fernández pair struggles to find its cruising speed, a return with Ortega could be considered.
    • Gemma Triay and Alejandra Salazar : Although it seems unlikely, seeing these two legends together again would be a thunderbolt on the circuit.

    A start to the season under high pressure

    In such a competitive sport, the lack of results could quickly cause strategic changes. Unfavorable circumstances, combined with high expectations, could push some players to reconsider their current associations and opt for proven pairings.

    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 !
