"Babe, wake up, it's Paquito's monthly change of partner."

And Guerrero back with Leal. This may actually be the more exciting couple of the two.

Awesome

Paquito has an attitude, always blaming his partner, and throwing tantrums. I am glad the young guy is free of his drama now, he has good potential with a supportive partner on his side. I was getting stressed and sad for him, watching them play.

Paquito must have been pissed after being destroyed by Chingalan (and Di Nenno was struggling last few tournaments)

u/TobiasVonCat1w ago

Finally!! I was sorry about Di Neno in the last couple years. The guy went from fighting for number 1 against Lebron/Galan, to play some FIPs in Kazakhstan. And Paquito was just painful to watch with his attitude. It was obvious for a long time that they were the best option for each other. I'm actually excited for them, as this was one of my favorite pairs

Paquito is a manchild

u/Aquarius19751w ago

They were great during their first run together where they even competed for #1 with Galan/Lebron, but back then Paquito had the ability to dominate a match and just needed a rock solid partner. These days Paquito just isn't at that level, at least not consistently. So unfortunately, I don't see them doing much, although I'd love to be proven wrong.

u/morningcoff3e1w ago

Momo/Cardona would seem logical as well, but not confirmed yet. They've both played pretty bad lately, but they should complement each other, and Momo did well with another aggressive but error-prone leftie in the past (Alex Ruiz).

I was there in Brussels on friday when Paquito got destroyed by Chingalan. It was not nice to see, and i mainly felt for his partner. Paquito's attitude was so bad.....

u/Datashot1w ago

I'm so excited to see them play. Di Nenno has been the best partner for Paquito since 2020, they were the closest runner ups to #1 in otherwise very dominated seasons (Leb Galan or Tapia Coello always being miles ahead).

u/Spiritual_Check36721w ago

Didn’t agree at all with most - for me Paquito is still a beast and can easy fight for top 3-4 with good partner with less errors, but Di Neno is on a huge downhill for almost a year and to my eye is worst from defense oriented right side players from top20 and also worse than many young aggressive ones.

u/GabrielQ19926d ago

Di Nenno did some awful partner choices that everyone saw were not going to work out, but the moment he got with someone decent (tello, augsburger) he certainly showed what he's made of. He's a completely different player than in his last partnership with paquito, he developed a decent flat smash and a killer backhand volley so I think they will actually perform better. I would place Martin squarely at the 4th best drive position above Yanguas, Sanz, etc.

I don't think Paquito can recover from this slump, what he needs is a sports psychologist. I know it's taboo in padel but in tennis it's very common and has proven to work.

u/jmOropeza321w ago

Where did you get that is taboo in padel? In one way or another all the top players (male and female) have declared to have a psychologist on the payroll

u/lantissZX1w ago

Don't see them around the players ever, not in vlogs not in tournaments, they might be there but they are not part of the core team so to speak.

u/Efficient-Mention-801w ago

Who will momo gonzalez play with now?
