Now it’s official, Martin Di Nenno and Franco Stupaczuk are separatingThe Argentines will play their last tournament together in Malaga.
Lebron / Di Nenno, Yanguas / Stupa…
For the moment nothing has been confirmed by the players but everything suggests that Martin will then continue with Juan LeBron, while Stupa will turn to Miguel Yanguas. Logically, the Navarro/Lebron and Yanguas/Garrido couples are therefore living their last moments.
So we wonder who Javi and Paquito will play with after the P1 in Malaga. Given his last experience on the right, Navarro should stay on the left, and since Garrido is one of the most powerful players on the circuit, he should not move to the right either. It therefore seems impossible to see these two on the same side of the track.
Who with Paquito? Who with Garrido?
Among the options that could be offered to the two men is a certain Pablo Cardona. The left-handed player, despite his 32nd place, is a very attractive player, especially considering his 90 meters of height, his youth and his ability to finish in points with his devastating smash. Definitely abandoned by Stupa who would have preferred Yanguas, Pablo could make Paquito or Garrido happy. In any case, it seems that his days alongside the veteran Javi Ruiz are numbered.
Jon Sanz is also a player who could be good for the two Andalusians. Left-handed, aggressive and talented, he shows interesting things with Coki Nieto but it is still not enough to take another step forward. Will the Navarrese run the risk of breaking a partnership that works quite well to find his former partner Javi or will he try the adventure with the former number 1 Paquito?
Alex Ruiz could also complete one of the two men, but can he still part with his friend Momo Gonzalez, who he has just reunited with?
Young Edu Alonso could have benefited from these changes, but he has just started a new project with Alex Chozas. Can he leave the Argentine already?
LeBron’s move to the left sows discord
Of course, if Coki and Jon (or Momo and Alex) split, Coki or Momo will look for a new partner, just like Javi Ruiz if Cardona decides to set his sights on Navarro or Garrido. And again, these are two left-wingers who will look for a teammate on the right.
You understand, if Lebron really had to change sides to play with Di Nenno (at the time of writing these lines the probability of this happening is very, very high), a left-wing player will be forced to move to the right. Javi Ruiz has already been there with Pablo Lijo but without real success. Coki Nieto, with his rather defensive profile, could do well on the right, but will he have the will?
For now, many questions and few answers…
What hierarchy after Malaga?
Logically, the two pairs that currently dominate world padel, Coello/Tapia and Galan/Chingotto, will still be the most prolific after the P1 in Malaga. Behind, however, everything is destined to change and it is difficult to see clearly until it is known exactly who will play with whom.
Franco Stupaczuk and Miguel Yanguas have games that seem quite compatible and will consistently be serious candidates for the final four. On an individual level, Lebron and Di Nenno, who will start at number 3, do not have much to envy, but will the repositioning of the native of Cadiz work from the start?
Behind it remains to be seen who will be Garrido and Navarro’s teammates, but let’s say that pairs like Gonzalez/Ruiz or Nieto/Sanz, if they are still relevant, can hope to take advantage of the many changes. do well in the game.
So who do you think will be the next teams to break up? Who will be the top 8 pairs after Malaga D1?
