After Pablo Lima, Juan Martin Diaz, Juani Mieres, here are two other legends of world padel deciding to retire: Mapi and Majo Alayeto.
In an interview for Instinct Padel last season, the twins confided that they could not imagine pursuing one without the other, and that the day when one of them decided to retire, the other would do the same.
And that day, as they announced on Instagram, has arrived...
After 14 years of competing in the most prestigious padel tournaments in the world, the players now coached by Seba Nerone have decided to hang up their boots. Indeed, those who have won 32 titles together in the World Padel Tour (a record) will retire at the end of the season.
The two 39-year-old players, although still members of the WPT Top 12, felt it was time to stop. They will continue to give their all on the courts until the end of the year, with the Master Final in their sights at least, and then devote themselves to other professional projects, but perhaps always in padel as they have already stated several times...
Stay tuned, we should know more soon!
