00:00The new season of Premiere Paddle starts from Riyadh, the largest city in Saudi Arabia,
00:15a place that is constantly growing and known for its surprising architecture, rich history and its culinary delights.
00:23Riyadh has achieved world prominence and has become the new cradle of sports stars.
00:35It starts in 2025 with a great dance of couples, the wolf Juan Lebron plays again to the right with Franco Stupazuk.
00:43Mike Yanguas, who shared the second half of 2024 with Stupa, will start instead with Coqui Nieto.
00:50His ex-partner John Sanz will now play with Momo González.
00:54But there is more, after two changes of partner in 2024, Martín Dineno starts a new stage with Javi Garrido,
01:02whose ex-partner Lucas Bergamini will be the new partner of Paquito Navarro.
01:07A real revolution that has resulted in the new and explosive couple formed by Pablo Cardona and Leos Burger.
01:16Juan Tello will try to relaunch himself with another Argentine young man, world champion Tino Libak,
01:21while Alex Arroyo and Edu Alonso will play together again.
01:25Alex Chozas starts the season with Alex Ruiz, Javi Leal with Sanyo Gutiérrez and Lucho Capra with Juan Luesbri.
01:33Maxi Sánchez will form a completely South American duo with the Brazilian Lucas Campagnolo.
01:39But before continuing with the tips that Campagnolo left us, did you know where the padel originated?
01:44Argentina, Mexico or Spain?
01:47Stay until the end to find out the answer.
01:55Your challenge today is to teach me how to do the drop and show it to the people who see us.
02:00I think it's easier to teach people than you.
02:02Do you think so?
02:03I think so.
02:04The drop is thrown as long as the opponent hits the previous ball with the body falling backwards.
02:10Ah.
02:11For example.
02:12Because you know you have more space.
02:14Exactly.
02:21If you throw a drop that is not so good, maybe it is good.
02:25You can only have the position already falling backwards.
02:28I throw a good firm ball, for example.
02:30It recovers.
02:31And when the ball comes, I win the position and I just break my hand.
02:43Uh.
02:44Okay, that's what we want to do.
02:46Look for it and open your left leg well.
02:49There.
02:50Look for it in front.
02:52Why is it going up?
02:53Well, let's see.
02:55If you kill it, try to sleep it a little with your hand.
03:01There.
03:02The ball is going to the net.
03:04So if you throw it and win the position, you will win the game.
03:09Okay?
03:10Thank you, Lucas.
03:11A pleasure.
03:13I still have a lot to learn to make a good drop.
03:16Luckily, Lucas is a player with a lot of patience.
03:20And speaking of patience, we go directly to the interview with the number 9 in the world,
03:25John Sanz, the young Spanish player who achieved spectacular progress throughout 2024
03:31and concluded last season proclaiming himself champion in the Barcelona Finals,
03:36beating in the final to nothing more or less than the number 1 in the world,
03:41Arturo Coelho and Agustín Tapia.
03:43A new year begins, but first we are going to talk about how you finished it,
03:47which was in the best possible way, with a super victory in the Barcelona Finals
03:52against the number 1 in the world.
03:55Yes, well, the truth is that it was a very special tournament.
03:58Well, I still remember it with a lot of affection.
04:00I think I will remember it for many years too.
04:02Winning the Master Finals is not won every day, I think.
04:05And in the end, well, the truth is that I am very happy to have been able to achieve that tournament
04:09with KOK and with my whole family in front of me.
04:11This was the end of the year, with a golden brush.
04:14Now, how do you start?
04:15How was this preseason month and how are you facing a change of partner?
04:20Luckily, I think that in the end Momo and KOK are very similar in terms of character.
04:26I don't have to get used to changing the way of transmitting or seeing how each one plays.
04:33And well, in terms of character and so on, I think that in the end we are two very competitive people.
04:38We get along very well and I think we are going to be quite united on the track,
04:42so I hope I'm not wrong.
04:44Well, good luck for this tournament and for the rest of the year.
04:48Thank you very much, Ana.
04:52Did you know where Paddle originated?
04:54Argentina, Mexico or Spain?
04:57Paddle originated in Mexico.
04:59The businessman Enrique Corcuera was the official inventor of Paddle
05:03and he fell in love with a land of his own located in Las Brisas, in Acapulco.
05:08He adapted a surface to be able to play with wooden balls and a ball.
05:13The businessman built a wall around this 20x10 space and placed a net in the center.
05:19The side walls were made so that the vegetation would not invade the court
05:23and Don Enrique ordered to build a wall high enough
05:27so that the ball would not escape to the neighbor's land.
05:30In this way, the rebound of the ball was allowed on the wall
05:33and gave continuity to the game, unlike tennis.
05:36And that's how Paddle originated.
05:40Without a doubt, the Riyadh tournament was marked by the presence of a great new lover of Paddle
05:45and also number one in football in the world.
05:48And yes, we are talking about Cristiano Ronaldo,
05:50who did not want to miss any of the initial games in the Paddle Rush Arena
05:54and also had the opportunity to meet several players.
05:58Without a doubt, the revelation couple of the tournament was the one formed by Pablo Cardona
06:02and Leo Ausbult.
06:04Without a doubt, the revelation couple of the tournament was the one formed by Pablo Cardona
06:08and Leo Ausbult, who beat Ale Galán and Federico Chingotto in the quarterfinals.
06:13They went to the semifinals, faced Juan Lebrón and Astupa
06:16and although they did not win, they showed that they have many qualities
06:20and a lot of talent for what is left of the year.
06:23Watch out with this couple.
06:24Juan Lebrón and Astupa faced the number one in the final,
06:28Arturo Coelho and Agustín Tapia,
06:30and there was not much to do against the number one,
06:32who won another tournament and started the year just as well as they finished last season.
06:39In the women's team, there were many expectations placed on the couple
06:43formed by Bea González and Claudia Fernández,
06:46who faced both exes in the semifinals, Gema Tria and Adelphi Brea.
06:50They also won against Gema and Adelphi.
06:53Claudia personally showed that she has a lot to give this year
06:58and that she has all the qualities necessary to be number one.
07:01She has a lot of room for growth and despite having reached the final,
07:05she could not dispute it because her partner, Bea, had to retire due to injury.
07:09So the winners of the tournament, Paula José María and Ari Sánchez, were proclaimed.
07:15And that was all about the Riyadh tournament.
07:17See you in the next one, which will be in Spain.
