Valladolid will have its grand finale. The couples one and two men’s Premier Padel They did not fail in the semifinals and will define the twelfth tournament of the season in a new head-to-head match. Golden Boys versus Chingalán one more Sunday.
And it is that Saturday was promised alternatives, with options, but it would end up following the same path as so many other events on the professional circuit. Another day at the office for more than two seasons when in March 2024 This face to face will begin that does not forgive any appointment or give space to alternatives.
The The first to open the afternoon at Valladolid P2 would be Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia. Once again the Golden Boys were going to dominate from start to finish one of the most dangerous duos on the circuit as Lebron and Augsburger in a I find that it would be played with two or three shots.
Tapia’s most surprising reflection in Valladolid: “It’s something unreal, women’s paddle tennis is more enjoyable”
Without rhythm, of exchange, Agustín and Arturo would show that they are also better in this padel. In case there was any doubt. Dominators of outdoor and indoor, those of Gustavo Pratto They were in charge of breaking that mantra that gives clear favoritism to hitters in conditions of extreme heat by fixing Leo in an exposed position in front of the service line and forcing Lebron to hurry up the parallel lob, the defense or the quick transition.
With two breaks, one at the beginning of the match and another in the opening section of the secondthey would end it by double 6-4 his passage through the semi-finals with a solvent and unhurried victory to sign their 25th consecutive final.
Galán and Chingotto avoid the scare
A victory that his biggest pursuers would also achieve, Ale Galán and Fede Chingottofor the path of suffering with an Argentine worn out by the physical problems thatthat has been dragging for several days for a “indigestion”.
Because Chingotto is not super. Maybe it’s not even there. But even so, he continues to cling to the impossible of chasing the throne of world padel and, why not say it, to an excellent Galán who eats tracks like few others and dominates almost like no one else.
After managing to command the first set against Javi Leal and Fran Guerrero, the physical decline would give wings to the revelation couple of the championship who would not hesitate to grab their options with a second set where they showed that theirs, more than surprise, is a consequence of the talent they possess.
And in fact they would have something else in their hand. In the third set they would start by breaking Chingalán’s service and when Guerrero cleaned up the play more and better and Leal’s shot flew, the figure of Galán emerged. Giant, powerful and playing on three quarters of a court, he risked all or nothing and it paid off. Again.
From finding yourself walking along the wire to ending up recovering from the break, first, to take advantage later. And from there to seal the pass to the final, avoiding a new scare with Chingotto emptying the little he had left in the tank to sign the classification by 6-4, 1-6 and 6-3.
