The second  men's semi-final  The Paris Major promises a tense duel between:  Mike Yanguas / Coki Nieto (TS4)  et  Ale Galán / Fede Chingotto (TS2) But on paper, experience and history of confrontations clearly place the number 2 favorites.

Yanguas and Nieto, still looking for a first final

The Andalusian-Madrid duo is having a good few weeks.  four consecutive semi-finals , Yanguas and Nieto confirm their place among the best pairs of the moment. Today they will play their  7th semi-final together , but have never yet reached the final.

  • Yanguas, already a semi-finalist in Paris in 2024, has the opportunity to score big points in the ranking (at least +150 if he wins today).
  • Nieto, for his part, has already defended all his points and can only improve. But the statistic that hurts: he has  never beaten Ale Galán  in 15 confrontations, all circuits combined.

Galán and Chingotto, bosses in half

Opposite,  Galan and Chingotto  confirm their high-level regularity:  11 semi-finals played this season for 9 victories They arrive at Roland-Garros with a clear objective: to take revenge after their defeat in the final here in 2024 against Tapia / Coello.

  • Chingotto, moreover, has a special relationship with this Major: he played the  three previous finals  (with Tello, then Paquito, then Galán), without ever winning. And an important detail: he has  never lost in the semi-finals in Paris .
  • The pair will, however, have nothing to gain in the standings except in the event of a title.

History speaks for Galán and Chingotto

The face-to-face is clear:  3 wins in 3 matches for Galán / Chingotto  against Yanguas / Nieto, including a huge arm wrestle in Malaga that ended 7-6 in the third. Experience and psychological strength clearly seem to be on the side of the world number 2s.

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 !
