If we believe a recent post from Analistas Padel, Juan Martin Diaz is expected to share the track with Coki Nieto on the World Padel Tour in 2021, a good idea?

Recovered from his knee problems, Juan Martin Diaz, despite its 45 years ago,, is still one of the best players in the world. He showed it last week, with a title at the Spanish Championships, alongside Paquito Navarro.

One can even think that if he had been able to play in the Master of Marbella and that his partner Lucas Campagnolo had not missed two tournaments due to injury, he would have been once again in the Master Final this season. A Master that Coki Nieto missed for only one place this year...

The player who will soon turn 22 had another solid year alongside Javi Rico, but with only a semi-final, at the last Open of the year, we can not say that this pair has confirmed all the hopes placed in them at the end of last season.

Defeated for his first round of the Spanish Championships, against Navarro and JMD precisely, this pair lacked a bit of firepower to compete with the very best. Coki and Javi therefore separate to evolve respectively with Juan Martin and Momo Gonzalez, taller players, to help those little guys in the air.

Coki can benefit from all the experience of Juan Martin, who, if his body leaves him alone in 2021, will undoubtedly still be among the 20 best players in the world next year. JMD may not be the most powerful smasher on the circuit, but with his grid smash, his well-masked par 3, and his devastating window returns, he will be able, from his 84 meter height, to help his 10cm partner. smaller on tall bales.

Nieto is a very physical young player who moves very well on the pitch. It will therefore allow Diaz to blow on certain sequences, coming to take balls in the center and on his side. On paper, this association is complementary, but it is not unanimous among fans.

Coki Nieto's defense and physique, coupled with JMD's talent and blocking and net finishing ability should allow this pair to fight at least for a place in the Master Final 2021.

They will normally always be candidates to make the round of XNUMX of the WPT Open but we can feel them all the same a notch below the best pairs what will Galan / Lebron, Tello / Chingotto, Tapia / Lima, or even Bela / Sanyo and Paquito / Di Nenno be? Could either of them hope for much better? Not necessarily…
