Le World Pairs Championship à Kuwait City offers a very different atmosphere from that of the team world championship won last year in Doha, but the emotions are intact for Federico Chingotto.
The Argentinian, one of the most anticipated faces of the FIP World Cup Pairs, fully savor this unique experience:

"The name of the tournament says it all: being world champion is something exceptional," he told elneverazo.
"This is a special tournament for everyone. There's a different atmosphere because the stakes are so high. That makes it even more meaningful for us players."

Already crowned world champion in 2024 with Argentina teamChingotto has an unforgettable memory of Doha, a victory that marked his career. This week, he relives those same emotions alongsideAle Galán.

“I experience it in the same way, with the same passion. Representing my country is obviously special, but winning it with Ale would be just as extraordinary. I feel the same intensity, the same desire, and the same emotion.”

Beyond the player at the top of the world ranking, it is also the little Chingo from the past, speaking out, the one who already dreamed of padel and great victories:

“That child is still there, inside me,” he smiled. “That’s why I’m approaching this FIP World Cup with so much enthusiasm and motivation.”

A sincere and passionate speech, true to the image of a Chingotto always driven by the same inner fire, whether it's defending his country's colors or aiming for another world title with Gallant.

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 !
