A voice respected above all others on the circuit.  Seba Nerone  continues to observe professional padel with a sharp, frank, and often humorous eye. Coach of top players, consultant on  Premier Padel  And a former world number one, the Argentinian gave an unfiltered analysis of the latest news on the circuit during the show  Padel 20 × 10 , a few days after his coronation at the  Hexagon Cup  with the AD/Vantage Team  by Andy Murray.

 The transfer market for pairs, a mirror of the real level 

On the  constant changes of partners On this burning issue of the winter, Nerone was categorical:

«  All players get the partner they deserve based on their skill level.  If you play well, those ahead in the standings see it and call you. And when your level drops, as has happened to all of us veterans, you also end up with the partner you deserve.

A direct, almost brutal observation that reflects the reality of a circuit where  Everything is observed, analyzed, dissected  permanently.

 Chingotto's strong defense 

One of the key passages of his speech concerns  Federico Chingotto which was heavily criticized at the start of the season:

«  I got angry live on air when they were attacking Chingotto.  "When I open social media and see people saying he's not as good as Galán, considering the season he's having... I want to tell them: 'Guys, what are you even watching?'"

At almost 50 years old, Nerone admits he still struggles to understand the violence on social media, especially towards a player he considers  unfairly targeted .

 Project instability: a problem that is difficult to regulate 

Not a fan of repeated separations, Nerone regrets the  extreme volatility of current projects  :

«  It's common knowledge, I don't like changing pairs.  The idea of ​​fixed windows sounds nice on paper, but it's very complicated. Personally, I would make a joint agreement to avoid having to change them all the time.

According to him, this instability goes beyond the realm of sport:

«  We want everything for the day before yesterday.  If it's not regulated by the official body, forget it. And I don't even know if they really want to do it.

 The separations that marked him 

Among the recent breaks, that of  paul cardona  et  Leo Augsburg  did not surprise him as much as that of  Juan Tello  et  Martín Di Nenno  :

«  The separation of Tello and Di Nenno surprised me much more.  Juan had found real stability in the top 8. There, I was completely disoriented.

 Cardona, Tello, Araújo: reasons to believe 

On the field, Nerone remains optimistic. Regarding  paul cardona absent in Riyadh:

«  It's purely a precaution.  He will return when he is 100% fit and competitive.

For  Juan Tello He mentions intense physical work… and a new technical feature:

"He worked the  A smash off the glass, Paquito Navarro style We've already seen it in France, and it worked rather well.

In women,  Sofia Araújo  is about to experience a pivotal season with  Claudia Fernández  :

«  Sofi always moves forward.  She has a golden opportunity to establish herself permanently among the best, and she has what it takes to do so.

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 !
