Fede Chingotto  continues to embody this rare profile on the circuit: an ultra-competitive player, deeply appreciated by the public, and capable of competing with the best without possessing the natural power of the great finishers on the circuit.

With  Ale Galán  et  Jorge Martínez The Argentinian is fully engaged in a new battle for the place of  global 1 number A huge objective, especially in light of the recent dominance of  Tapia / Coello , but the world number 2 pair fully accepts it.

In an interview with  Padel Review ,  Chingotto  He put very clear words about how he experiences competition:

 “The ambition to achieve the maximum reward in a sport pushes you to always want more and gives you that extra edge to compete. For me, suffering is a daily occurrence. I receive many more balls because I don't have the stroke to finish points quickly. That's why I have to fight every day to get the reward. My mind pushes me to try again because I see that it's possible.” 

 A speech that perfectly sums up Chingotto 

This statement perfectly matches the image that it projects  Chingotto  for several seasons. Where others impose themselves through power or offensive ease, he builds everything on the  playing the game ,  volume   tactical intelligence  and a rare ability to repeat efforts.

This is also what makes it so easily identifiable:  Chingotto  is a player who must constantly  fetch  what he obtains. Nothing is given to him, and that is precisely what reinforces his status as a unique player in the world of padel.

 A duel reignited against Tapia and Coello 

En  2025 , the pair  Galan / Chingotto  had often been present at the major finals, but the  direct face-to-face  with  Tapia / Coello  had ended up weighing heavily in the balance.

The start of the season  2026  had, in fact, started badly with a defeat in the final at  Riyadh , but since then, the dynamic has clearly reversed.

 Gallant  et  Chingotto  have won  the finals of Gijón and Miami , each time facing the  world number 1 , completely reigniting the battle at the top.

 A battle that has only just begun 

Even though the Spanish-Argentine pair has regained confidence, the season is still long and the duel with  Tapia / Coello  is just beginning.

But one thing is certain: with a  Fede Chingotto  In this state of mind, the world's number 2 pair clearly has no intention of remaining a spectator.

Was it  Gallant  aims for a return to the throne he had occupied with  Juan Lebrón  across  2020 and 2022 ,  Chingotto He, however, continues to move forward with his recipe: heart, hard work… and this increasingly strong conviction that  the summit is truly attainable .

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 !
