The best paddles in the world: the spectacular points of the Mendoza Premier Pádel

MENDOZA.- The new world padel circuit had a date in Argentina with the Mendoza Premier Padel. It came with the best players on the planet, who offered the most unusual, spectacular and dizzying plays in a “glass box”. in the mighty stadium Aconcagua Sandthe playing conditions were totally different from those that occurred in the previous stages in Doha, Rome, Paris and Madrid.

The best points of the quarterfinals

A handful of variants make the paddle ball (very similar to the tennis ball) vary its behavior on the court. In particular this week in Mendoza, the ball was very conditioned. Height above sea level, temperature, type and management of synthetic grass, generated a special cocktail to achieve shots more likely to be counterattacked.

The best points of the round of 16

Due to the 769 meters above sea level, it had to move a little faster (because of less friction with less dense air). But the low temperature, which the first few days barely exceeded 10 degrees, made it slower. That added to the type of synthetic grass on the field, which added slowness to the pitch. The amount of sand that was placed on that grass was also less than usual, slowing down the ball even more. And lastly, the carpet was laid on a floating floor that produced a lower output after the bounce of the ball. In short: long, worked stitches from each side of the net.

The best points of the second round

Players like Daniel “Sanyo” Gutierrez were more limited with their magic. The number one couple, Juan Lebrón and Alejandro Galán, had to dose their attacks much more. While the best player in history, Fernando Belasteguín, was able to impose his pace of play with majesty.
