00:00This is Paddle Vibes from Miami.
00:14For the first time, Premier Paddle lands in the United States
00:17and does it here in Miami at the South Beach Convention Center.
00:20Are you ready for the tournament?
00:22Of course. I'll do whatever it takes.
00:24Working aggressively.
00:26Christiano del Paddle.
00:27How's the chorizo?
00:28The chorizo is delicious.
00:29Yes.
00:30We usually ask the players before the games how they prepare,
00:34but what do they do in their free time?
00:37Right now I'm very hungry and I know there's a player in the tournament who loves to eat.
00:41Come with me.
00:43Chingo, I think.
00:45Good morning.
00:46How are you?
00:47Very well.
00:49Good morning.
00:50Good morning.
00:51I know you just won a game.
00:53I think you deserve a good lunch, right?
00:56It would be good to recover energy because we ran a lot, so yes.
00:59Well, Abir, I had prepared an Argentine barbecue for you.
01:02What do you think?
01:03I affirm it.
01:04Let's go.
01:13It's party time, I imagine.
01:15From time to time, when we have a free weekend, we try to do something,
01:20but it's pretty quiet.
01:21Lately we've been training more than…
01:23Let's do it.
01:24Let's do it.
01:27What do you think of Miami?
01:28It's incredible.
01:29Do you live here?
01:32With your parents close, of course.
01:34Yes, obviously, but…
01:37You see how it's not just in the pavilion?
01:39Almost.
01:40We're here.
01:43We're chasing God.
01:45Well, Chengo, we finally sat down to have lunch.
01:48I just had to wait three hours.
01:51I've never made anyone wait so long.
01:54I'm so hungry.
01:57Well, I'll explain everything to you.
01:59Tell me.
02:00The first thing would be this.
02:02What would it be?
02:03Chorizo, bat, and mussels.
02:05That.
02:06Salt and lemon.
02:07Madness.
02:08Oh, my God.
02:09It's so good.
02:10It's so good.
02:11It's so good.
02:12It's so good.
02:13Salt and lemon.
02:14Madness.
02:15Okay.
02:16We have entrails and barbecue strips.
02:17You eat this, but put half, half, and a little bit of mussels.
02:22A little entrails.
02:23And from here?
02:24Expensive.
02:25Because in the end, the grill always brings the best.
02:29I have a phrase there that, well, obviously, I am lucky that my parents gave me a very,
02:35very good education and raised me in the best way.
02:38And from the first moment, they gave me a phrase at the door that I always have in my head,
02:44which is to always try to be the best, not to believe it.
02:47And that is the phrase that I have constantly for my day to day, that I try to be the best
02:52without believing it, and to give it all in every workout, in every day, in every situation.
02:57That is, always being humble.
02:59But in the end, you have to believe it a little, right?
03:02Man, you have to have a little self-love, obviously, because if not, obviously,
03:07going down doesn't work.
03:09I trust myself and the team a lot.
03:11And yes, but well, that phrase always accompanies me.
03:15And well, as good Argentine desserts, we have pancakes with dulce de leche.
03:19In my case, only coffee, so I don't have a nap.
03:22But I'm going to bite a little bit and I'm going to try it because it looks amazing.
03:30I'm going.
03:38Very good.
03:41No, no, no.
03:46Well, thank you very much, Chingo, for this day with me.
03:50I loved the food, it was a great plan.
03:53And now I just wish you a lot of luck in what is left of the year and the tournaments.
03:56Thank you very much, I had a great time and the food was incredible.
04:00As a novelty, after 16 years occupying the number one position in the world ranking,
04:05Fernando Velazteguín will be the director of the tournament.
04:08I'll take you to see the venue.
04:12And speaking of Fernando Velazteguín, we have the great director of the tournament.
04:17How are you?
04:18Are you going to show me the venue?
04:19I'm going to show you that Premier Paddle is in Miami for the first time,
04:23on my beach, at the Convention Center.
04:25So come on, I'm going to show you how everything looks.
04:27Let's go.
04:30How many games are going to be played here?
04:33Here we have six games a day, from Monday, which started the previous one,
04:38until Sunday, which will be the two finals, Saturday the four semis,
04:42but until Friday, from Monday to Friday, there will be six games in the Central,
04:45and six in each of the other pitches.
04:48I wanted to ask you, now that it has been a very sweet transition,
04:52I mean, you finished playing two months ago.
04:55Yes.
04:56And now you are the director of a tournament.
04:58Yes, but I am a person who likes to take the steps a little early,
05:03and I was preparing my professional post-career.
05:06Much earlier.
05:07Yes.
05:10What does Miami have, what does the Miami tournament have,
05:13that no other tournament has been held so far?
05:16That it is in Miami, which for me is the gateway to the US Paddle,
05:22it makes it, just because it is the gateway to the US sport,
05:26it makes it a very special city,
05:30because I have no doubt that there will be a before and after
05:34of the first Premier Paddle in Miami for our sport.
05:38I invite you to come and try the sport, which is football.
05:44The most important couples of the tournament will be present here in Miami.
05:48Arturo Coelho and Agustín Tapia will try to defend that leadership
05:52that they have done so far in an excellent way.
05:55Agustin McInguas and Coqui Nieto will try, on their part,
05:58to reach the most advanced phase of the tournament.
06:02For their part, Javi Garrido and Martín Dineno have decided to
06:04launch a new coach here in Miami to optimize the conditions
06:08that have been good so far, but they want to improve
06:11that last step that is missing.
06:13And let's not forget Juan Lebrón and Stupa,
06:16who have just won the Cancun P2.
06:19Bea González and Claudia Fernández are competing again
06:22after having taken a break in Cancun,
06:25and the expectations are very high.
06:27But also watch out for De Cibrea and Adrien Matriay,
06:29who have just won Cancun.
06:31They are a new couple, but they are doing it fantastically.
06:36Do you know how to do the Vibora?
06:38The number one in France, Alix Colombon,
06:40explains the tips to master this stroke.
06:42We are here with Alix Colombon,
06:44and we are going to do a super fast ping pong from Miami.
06:47Let's see, Alix, number one in France.
06:50How do you feel first, before starting the ping pong,
06:53that you are in Miami, what are the feelings?
06:56Very good, the truth is that it is a luxury to be here in Miami,
06:59we are enjoying the city a lot, although of course
07:02we are training hard and preparing ourselves
07:05as best as possible for tomorrow's pass,
07:07but well, we feel good and happy to be here.
07:10Indoor or outdoor?
07:12Indoor.
07:13Defense or attack?
07:15Defense.
07:18Conservative or aggressive?
07:20Conservative.
07:22Yes? Are you sure?
07:23I am working on the aggressive part,
07:25but my character is more conservative.
07:28Your strongest point?
07:30The Vibora.
07:32Well, about the Vibora, I would love you to teach me
07:35a little how to do the Vibora.
07:37A pleasure.
07:38Let's do it.
07:39Well, the Vibora is like a...
07:42It's not a volley, but it's like a high volley.
07:45Instead of hitting the head level,
07:48it's a little above, okay?
07:51And the idea is...
07:52Down?
07:54I mean, more forward than down.
07:57I mean, a little both, but more forward than down.
08:00Okay.
08:01The idea is that you are almost in a straight arm
08:04when you hit it.
08:06Okay.
08:07Okay?
08:10Well, it's not bad.
08:12It's not bad.
08:13It's not bad.
08:17Good.
08:19You see, the last one, you hit it a little...
08:22I have to be further away.
08:24The idea is that it's further away,
08:26almost in a straight arm, almost.
08:28Good.
08:29The gesture is good.
08:31But now the ball is going away,
08:34because when you hit it, you have the ball
08:36that is hitting the ground.
08:38So you have to be a little further away.
08:41Okay.
08:42Okay?
08:43Let's see.
08:48Good.
08:49Very good.
08:50Good?
08:51Yes, yes.
08:52Hey, it's not bad, right?
08:53It's not bad.
08:54In a short time.
08:55Hey, I loved the Masterclass with you.
08:58This new touch of Vibora, thanks to you,
09:01I'm going to remember.
09:02Perfect.
09:03Have a good time in Miami.
09:04Good luck.
09:05Thank you very much.
09:08The number one in the world, Arturo Coelho,
09:10has moved to Miami.
09:11We want to know what a training day with him is like.
09:15Arturo, good morning.
09:16What's up?
09:17How are you?
09:18How are you?
09:19All good? Have you already had breakfast?
09:20Very good.
09:22Well, I don't know if you're ready
09:24to have a training day with you.
09:27100%.
09:28Come, because I'm going to show you
09:29what a day with me is like.
09:30Let's go.
09:31I can be here all day, man, yes.
09:33If I think about it, I'll be here all day.
09:35You are now the one who is opening the doors
09:38to padel in the United States.
09:40Well, yes, in the end, with my team,
09:42it is true that we decided that,
09:44apart from the fact that I wanted a change,
09:46I wanted to move,
09:47we saw a very good opportunity
09:49to grow padel here
09:51and at the same time grow as an athlete,
09:53as a figure.
09:54Of course, to be the number one in the world,
09:56you have to be all day.
09:58That's what forces me to do tapia,
10:00to play with him.
10:01You are more of a Christian, right?
10:02I am a Christian.
10:03You are a Christian.
10:04With respect to Messi,
10:05but I am super Christian.
10:06Also, the first video that Christian made of padel
10:09he did it with you.
10:10Bye.
10:11Well, as you know,
10:12padel is flooding the city of Miami.
10:15There are more and more tracks,
10:16more and more fans of this sport
10:18that grows more and more every day.
10:20And today,
10:21taking advantage of the fact that Premier Padel
10:23has also landed in Miami,
10:24we are here at the Miami Open,
10:26at the Hard Rock Stadium,
10:27where there will also be a padel track.
10:30Mirra Andreeva will play on this track,
10:32as well as Arturo Coelho
10:33and many other tennis players.
10:40And the match between titans took place.
10:44Coelho and his compatriot Carlos Alcaraz
10:46had a moment to meet
10:48before the tennis player started in the Miami Open.
10:51The first Premier Padel tournament in the United States
10:54left one of the most spectacular semifinals so far,
10:57which lasted 2 hours and 51 minutes.
11:00The extremely close match
11:02between Coqui Nieto and Mike Yanguas
11:04against Galán and Chingotto was epic.
11:062-6, 6-4 and 6-7.
11:09The tiebreaker was reached in the third set
11:11and they took the victory
11:12by small details,
11:14the number two pair of the tournament.
11:16Surprisingly,
11:17the other semifinal
11:18in which Coelho and Tapia faced
11:20Lebrón and Estupa,
11:21against all odds,
11:22fell on the part of the recent winners
11:25in Cancun 4-6, 4-6
11:28and out of the final for the first time
11:30in 16 consecutive finals
11:32to the number one of the tournament.
11:34The men's final was full of emotion.
11:37For the first time after their breakup,
11:39Galán and Lebrón faced each other in a final.
11:42First easy set for the number two
11:44and second set that was fought in the tiebreaker,
11:46ending with the victory for Chingotto and Galán
11:49who achieved their first title of 2025
11:52becoming champions of Miami.
11:54The women's final was starred
11:56by Ari Sánchez and Paula José María
11:58against Gemma Triai and Deci Brea.
12:00After losing the first set,
12:02Bea and Triai came back to get a victory
12:05for 2-6, 6-1 and 6-4.
12:07In this way,
12:08they achieved their third consecutive title
12:10after the triumphs in Gijón and Cancun.
12:13Without a doubt,
12:14it is a new couple
12:15but with incredible results.
12:17Well, girls, congratulations.
12:19Champions in Miami.
12:20I think you can't start the year better.
12:22Totally, totally.
12:24I think it was a very special tournament,
12:26a new tournament
12:27and we really wanted to win this tournament
12:29since we arrived.
12:30Gemma, what are your feelings?
12:32You have changed
12:33and it seems that the change is going well, right?
12:36Yes, I can't be happier.
12:38The truth is that the couple is doing very well,
12:40the team too,
12:41very comfortable,
12:42very happy,
12:43enjoying a lot of the day-to-day.
12:45The results are also accompanying us,
12:47which also helps me
12:49that everything flows more
12:50and there is more joy.
12:52But well,
12:53I think we are doing a very good job
12:55and we have to enjoy this moment.
12:57Well, congratulations.
12:58Super victory in Miami.
13:00It's been a while since you reached a final
13:03with this energy
13:04and with a result like this.
13:06From Genoa too.
13:07What do you think?
13:08Well, the truth is that we are super happy
13:10because I think we were working very hard
13:12for this tournament
13:13and that there is a prize
13:15in the end is always satisfactory.
13:16Well, all the people are in the chingaraneta
13:19that gives us support
13:20and gives us that encouragement
13:22to keep fighting
13:24and overcoming any difficulty that comes our way
13:26and thank all the people
13:28who have built us,
13:30who have brought us here
13:31and of course,
13:32the family and friends
13:33who have always been.
13:34First tournament in the United States
13:36and you have won,
13:37so I think you have started
13:38by the big door
13:40and see you in the next tournament.
13:42And that was all
13:43from Premier Paddle Week.
13:44We say goodbye from here,
13:45from the beaches of Miami Beach.
13:47Don't miss our next tournament
13:49always on Videsports.
