As in FIP Platinum Lyon a few weeks ago, Ale Galán et Fede Chingotto have decided to withdraw at the last minute du FIP Platinum VeracruzThe world number 2 players, who were initially registered, ultimately chose not to play in the tournament.

A strategic and now recurring move that confirms one thing: All their energy will be dedicated to the two major remaining matches., Mexico Major and Barcelona Finals, the only tournaments capable of leading them to the world throne.

Tapia and Coello catch their breath before the rush

The decision comes just after the Dubai P1Where Tapia / Coello stopped the streak of three consecutive titles by the world's number 2 players and consolidated their lead in the Race 2025 : +1,080 points.

A substantial cushion… but far from being permanent, especially with 3,500 points still up for grabs between Acapulco and Barcelona.

Why Galán/Chingotto are giving up on Veracruz

With only 300 point The prize for the Platinum winners, according to Jorge Martínez's team, has been calculated:

Even by winning Veracruzthey would need win Acapulco and Barcelona to hope to overtake Tapia / Coello provided that the latter are finalists in both tournaments.

In other words :
Platinum doesn't change the equation.
What changes everything? Arrive fresh at the decisive moment.

Hence this latest last-minute withdrawal, as in Lyon, deliberate and strategic.

Stupa/Di Nenno are also withdrawing

The new version of Superpibes (3.0), also registered in Veracruz, followed the same logic: no Platinum, and a first match directly to Mexico Major.

The top 4 without the big names

With these withdrawals, the Veracruz table is organized as follows at the top:

  1. Javi Leal / Lucas Bergamini
  2. Momo González / Fran Guerrero
  3. Juan Tello / Edu Alonso
  4. Jon Sanz / Aimar Goñi

Be careful behind! Garrido / Campagnolo, semi-finalists in Dubai and serious contenders for a big win.

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 !
