in the circuit A1 Padel They are known as ‘The Magicians’ and at the San Pablo Sports Palace they demonstrated the reasons that have raised them to the top of the ranking. Gonzalo Alfonso and Leonel ‘Tolito’ Aguirre won the eighth title of the season in the capital of Seville (they have won all three held in Andalusia), snatching the private reign from Maxi Arce and Franco Dal Bianco in Seville, winners of the two previous editions , both held in Las Setas. The magic of the numbers one was able to overcome the solidity and method of the second favorites (6-3, 1-6 and 6-4) in a final full of alternatives and evenly matched, with bursts of excellent padel and a lot of level with which The curtain came down, on the tenth day of the tournament, at Santander Seville Master, sponsored by ABC de Sevilla.
Arce and Dal Bianco set it on fire at the beginning of the duel, exploiting its main virtues: the former’s defense at the back of the court and the latter’s hitting the net. A combo that is difficult to neutralize and, when properly tuned, is unstoppable. Thus, with an already known recipe, they surprised the number ones, leaving them stuck with a 0-3 against and two breaks below. After the first time on the bench, Tolito and Gonza reset themselves. As expected. And what came was a furious reaction. They defended and hit better then, much better. Not a neutral ball. Tolito broke Arce’s serve on golden point and then consolidated the break on his serve. The alarm had already rung for the main candidates for the title. Tolito grew bigger. He monopolized the game. Everything for him. That was what Arce and Dal Bianco decided without the strategy seeming the best. And at that rate they broke again so that the game returned to square one (3-3).
The number twos could barely defend themselves against the rain of winning blows unleashed, with different heights and from all distances, of his adversaries, who went up two gears. Or three or four, we don’t know. From 0-3 to 5-3, with new breakthe third, and partial rising to 5-0. Tolito and Gonza were on fire with a overwhelming display of his best padelimpossible to contain. A roller. They sealed the 6-3 score in 33 minutes of the game. The difference in winners It reflected Tolito-Gonza’s recital: 21 to 10. Dal Bianco and Arce finally broke the lead after the Salta player’s serve and took a breath. At least they gave themselves a break at the beginning of the second round. In theory they needed long points, with lobs, to slow down the pace of their rivals and the volume of winning shots. Tolito held serve (1-1) and smiled. Also Dal Bianco, who sharpened his shot and connected with his serve after a canonical wall exit from Arce (1-2). The two-time champions in Seville reconnected the circuits of their defense and they broke a long time later (1-3).
absolute equality
With Arce’s serve, the crash was stopped to fix the external carpet. A pause that did not change the trend (1-4). The flow of Tolito and Gonzawhich became torrential, was dry. They accumulated unforced errors until the absolute collapse: in the service of Tolito, break blank for 1-5 with Dal Bianco taking the ball again and again from 20×10 until 1-6. One hour and five minutes had been consumed in a very open final, with twists in the script, an unpredictable ending and a stretch until the third set. At Tolito’s serve, a new break in golden point (0-1) and partial 0-6 for Dal Bianco and Arce, who were giving a master class with his left foot on the wall exit, opening impossible angles. An error by Dal Bianco on the net made it 1-1 counterbreak. Gonza and Arce carried the weight of a very close and increasingly chess-like, mathematical final when Tolito once again combusted, attacking Arce’s flank from the net until he burned it for 2-1.
Dal Bianco recovered his punch to hold his serve on golden point (2-2), but then missed three consecutive balls on Tolito’s serve (3-2) when each mistake was already weighing a lot. Fatigue was felt on both sides of the track. They then attended to Dal Bianco’s left foot and after the pause no one moved the tree. Arce, Gonza and Dal Bianco kept their serves (4-4) in a match with long points and fewer risks. Making a mistake was lethal. Tolito retained his serve without giving up a single point (5-4) and the leaders, Yoimperials in defensethey closed the match, the final and the title with the gavel, blank for the rest. “Please, shoot!” Tolito shouted at Gonza at the point where he secured victory and closed a new edition, the fourth and the first in San Pablo, of the A1 Pádel Santander Sevilla Master.
