While the clashes between  Tapia / Coello  et  Galan / Chingotto  multiply,  Jon sanz  He didn't hesitate to acknowledge the dominance of the two best pairs in the world. For the Navarrese player, the gap with the rest of the circuit is now very real.

A rivalry that structures the circuit

It's hard to miss: for the past two seasons, the clashes between  Tapia / Coello  et  Galan / Chingotto  set the pace of the circuit. The numbers speak for themselves, with already  30 endings  disputes between the two pairs since their first duel at  Puerto Cabello   en   March 2024. 

A confrontation that has become recurrent, to the point of being considered a real  “Classic” And beyond the frequency, it's above all their ability to consistently reach the top that is truly remarkable.  regularity  that few teams manage to approach today.

“They play better and work harder”

Asked by el4Set,  Jon sanz  did not seek to downplay this dominance. The Spanish player makes a clear observation:

“These two pairs are head and shoulders above the rest. They play better, understand each other better, are more skilled, and work incredibly hard.”

A clear-sighted speech, which accurately reflects the general feeling on the circuit.  Tapia / Coello  et  Galan / Chingotto  They are not content with winning: they impose a standard that is difficult to follow, both in terms of play and consistency.

Tapia and Coello, “two aliens”

Sanz was particularly complimentary towards the number 1 pair. With his usually offbeat tone, he didn't hesitate to exaggerate:

“They are two aliens.  Arturo Coello  He's 1,95m tall, he hits very hard, blocks everything, defends very well… and  Agustín Tapia "He has a hand... it's impressive."

Beyond the formula, the observation is shared by many: the combination of the  power  of Coello and the  creativity  Tapia creates a team that is extremely difficult to counter.

Galán and Chingotto, a formidable force

In the relative shadow of pair number 1,  Galan / Chingotto  Yet they continue to display a very high level. Here again, Sanz emphasizes their specific qualities:

“Galán has a backhand that does a lot of  winning shots  while making very few mistakes. And  Chingotto  is even more  regular  and smarter than many players on the right.”

A solid pair, difficult to outmaneuver, and which doesn't give up, even against the current benchmark.

Are Galán and Chingotto really so far from the world throne?

A gap that is widening

Today, these two pairs seem to be operating at a different pace. Their consistency in finals, tournament after tournament, is gradually widening the gap with their pursuers.

It remains to be seen who will manage to disrupt this balance. For now, as Jon Sanz sums it up, the top of world padel is clearly a two-horse race.
