Paris sparks a new transfer merry-go-round

The Paris Major has left no one indifferent. And beyond the reigns of Coello-Tapia and Ustero-Sánchez, Premier Padel’s stop at Roland Garros has had consequences. Some partnerships have come to an end after failing to achieve the desired results, paving the way for a highly intriguing reshuffle of pairs.

The most talked-about split—though it was an open secret given the poor run both were going through—is that of Javi Garrido and Lucas Bergamini. They hit rock bottom in Paris and will now try to rediscover their best form separately. In Bergamini’s case, alongside Jairo Bautista. And for Javi Garrido, first sharing the court with Sanyo Gutiérrez at the FIP in Lyon. Then, from Germany P2 onward, in a bold new partnership with Juani De Pascual.

A similar situation is being experienced by Sanyo Gutiérrez, who abruptly ended his project alongside Juanlu Esbrí after a heated argument in Paris. So, after Lyon, he will begin a new chapter with an emerging talent such as Maxi Sánchez Blasco. Meanwhile, Juanlu Esbrí will not wait until Germany and will already debut a new partner in Lyon: Íñigo Jofre.

More changes in the middle of the pack

These will not be the only duos taking new paths in the upcoming tournaments. Pol Hernández and Guille Collado have also decided to bring their project to an end and embark on a new adventure. Pol is teaming up with Manu Castaño, while Guille will share the court with Enri Goenaga.

In short, after stops in Madrid and Paris, two key stages on the calendar, the players have decided to make their moves in search of a strong end to the season. Each with their own specific goals, but once again showing that in padel, stable partnerships are a rare thing.
