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.
00:30As a novelty, after 16 years occupying the number one spot in the world ranking,
00:35Fernando Velazteguín will be the tournament director.
00:38I'll take you to see the venue.
00:41And speaking of Fernando Velazteguín, we have the tournament director.
00:45Good morning, Xana.
00:46How are you?
00:47How are you?
00:48Are you going to show me the venue?
00:49I'm going to show you that for the first time Premier Paddle is in Miami,
00:53Miami Beach, at the Convention Center.
00:55So come, I'm going to show you how everything looks.
00:57Let's go.
00:59How many games are going to be played here?
01:02Here we have six games a day, from Monday, which started the previous one,
01:07until Sunday, which will be the two finals, Saturday the four semis,
01:11but until Friday, from Monday to Friday, there will be six games in the Central,
01:14and six in each of the other pitches.
01:17I wanted to ask you, now that it has been a very sweet transition,
01:21I mean, you finished playing two months ago.
01:24Yes.
01:25And now you are the director of a tournament.
01:27Yes, but I am a person who likes to take the steps a little early,
01:32and I was preparing my professional post-career.
01:35Much earlier.
01:36Yes.
01:39What does Miami have, what does the Miami tournament have,
01:42that no other tournament has been held so far?
01:45That it is in Miami, which for me is the gateway to the United States paddle,
01:51it makes it, just because it is the gateway to sports in the United States,
01:55it makes it a very special city, because I have no doubt
02:00that there will be a before and after of the first paddle in Miami for our sport.
02:07I invite you to come and try the sport, which is the sport of football.
02:13The most important couples of the tournament will be present here in Miami.
02:17Arturo Coelho and Agustín Tapia will try to defend that leadership
02:21that they have done so far in an excellent way.
02:24Agustin McInguas and Coqui Nieto will try, on their part,
02:27to reach the most advanced phase of the tournament.
02:30For their part, Javi Garrido and Martín Dineno have decided to release a new coach
02:34here in Miami to optimize the conditions that have been good so far,
02:38but they want to improve that last step that is missing.
02:42And let's not forget Juan Lebrón and Stupa,
02:44who have just won the Cancun P2.
02:47Bea González and Claudia Fernández are competing again
02:50after having taken a break in Cancun, and the expectations are very high.
02:55But also watch out for Delfibrea and Yatjen Matriah, who have just won.
02:58Precisely, Cancun are a new couple, but they are doing fantastically.
03:04Do you know how to do the Vibora?
03:06The number one in France, Alix Colombon,
03:08explains the tips to master this stroke.
03:11We are here with Alix Colombon,
03:13and we are going to do a super fast ping-pong from Miami.
03:16Let's see, Alix, number one in France.
03:19How do you feel first, before starting the ping-pong,
03:22that you are in Miami, what are the feelings?
03:25Very good, the truth is that it is a luxury to be here in Miami,
03:28we are enjoying the city a lot,
03:30although of course we are training hard
03:33and preparing as best as possible for tomorrow's pass,
03:36but well, we feel good and happy to be here.
03:39Indoor or outdoor?
03:41Indoor.
03:42Defense or attack?
03:44Defense.
03:46Defense.
03:47Conservative or aggressive?
03:49Conservative.
03:50Yes? Are you sure?
03:52I am working on the aggressive part,
03:54but my character is more conservative.
03:56Your strongest point?
03:58The Vibora.
04:00Well, about the Vibora,
04:02I would love you to teach me a little bit about how to do the Vibora.
04:05Okay, a pleasure.
04:06Let's do it.
04:08The Vibora is like a...
04:10It's not a volley, but it's like a high volley.
04:13Instead of hitting the head level,
04:17it's a little bit above.
04:19Okay? And the idea is...
04:21Down?
04:23I mean, more forward than down.
04:26A little bit both, but more forward than down.
04:28Okay.
04:29The idea is that you are almost in a straight arm
04:33when you hit it.
04:34Okay.
04:35Okay?
04:39Well, it's not bad.
04:41It's not bad.
04:42It's not bad.
04:46Good.
04:48You see, the last one, you hit it a little close to the body.
04:51I have to be further away.
04:52The idea is that it's further away.
04:54Almost in a straight arm. Almost.
04:57Good.
04:58The gesture is good,
05:00but now the ball is going away,
05:03because when you hit it, you have the shovel that is in front of you.
05:05And it has to be more parallel.
05:06Of course.
05:07It has to be a little more parallel.
05:10Okay.
05:11Okay?
05:12Let's see.
05:17Good.
05:18Very good.
05:19Good?
05:20Yes, yes.
05:21Hey, it's not bad, right?
05:22It's not bad.
05:23In a short time.
05:24I liked it.
05:25Hey, I loved the Masterclass with you.
05:28This touch of a new vibe, thanks to you,
05:30I'm going to remember.
05:31Perfect.
05:32Have a good time in Miami.
05:33Good luck.
05:34Thank you very much.
05:37We usually ask the players before the games
05:40how they prepare,
05:41but what do they do in their free time?
05:43Right now I'm really hungry
05:45and I know there's a player in the tournament
05:47who loves to eat.
05:48Come with me.
05:50Chingo, I think.
05:51Yes.
05:52Good morning.
05:53How are you?
05:54Very well.
05:56Good morning.
05:57Good morning.
05:58I know you just won a game,
06:00so I think you deserve a good lunch, right?
06:03It would be good to recover energy,
06:05because we ran a lot, so yes.
06:06Well, I had prepared for you
06:08an Argentine barbecue,
06:09what do you think?
06:10I sign it, I sign it.
06:11Let's go.
06:19And nothing, that's just...
06:20And the party, I imagine, too, from time to time.
06:22Well, from time to time,
06:23when there's a free weekend,
06:25we try to do something,
06:27but quite calmly.
06:28Lately we've been training more than...
06:30Let's do it.
06:31Let's go.
06:33What do you think of Miami?
06:35Nothing, it's incredible.
06:36Do you live here?
06:39With your parents close, of course.
06:41Yes, obviously, but...
06:44You see how it's not just in the pavilion?
06:46Almost.
06:47We're here.
06:50We're in front of God.
06:52Well, Chingo,
06:53we've finally sat down to have lunch.
06:55I've only had to wait three hours.
06:57I've never seen so many people waiting.
07:00I'm so hungry.
07:03Well, I'll explain everything to you.
07:05Tell me.
07:06The first thing would be this,
07:08which would be chorizo,
07:09bacon and mussels,
07:11that, salt and lemon,
07:13crazy,
07:14which would be this,
07:15which would be this,
07:16which would be this,
07:17which would be this,
07:18which would be this,
07:19which would be this,
07:20which would be this,
07:21which would be this,
07:22which would be this,
07:23crazy,
07:24we have entrails,
07:25and steamed strips.
07:26You eat this,
07:27but you put half,
07:28and half,
07:29and a little of mussel,
07:30just a little of entrail,
07:31of course,
07:32because in the end,
07:33the grill always brings the best.
07:35I have a phrase there that,
07:37obviously,
07:38I'm lucky that my parents
07:39gave me a very,
07:40very good education,
07:41and they raised me
07:42in the best possible way,
07:43and from the first moment,
07:46they left me a phrase
07:47on the door,
07:48which I always have
07:49in my head,
07:50in my head, which is always trying to be the best, not believing it.
07:54And that's the phrase I have constantly for my day-to-day,
07:57that I try to be the best without believing it
07:59and give it all in every workout, in every day, in every situation.
08:03So, always being humble.
08:06But in the end, you have to believe it a little, right?
08:09Man, you have to have a little self-love, obviously,
08:12because if not, obviously, pulling yourself down doesn't work.
08:15I trust myself and the team a lot.
08:18And yes, but well, that phrase always accompanies me.
08:21And well, as good Argentine desserts,
08:23we have pancakes with dulce de leche.
08:26In my case, only coffee, so I don't fall asleep on a nap.
08:28But I'm going to bite a little bit and I'm going to try it
08:31because it looks incredible.
08:36I'm going.
08:43The dulce de leche is...
08:44Very good.
08:46But this, after a workout...
08:47No, no, no, now I have to go out and run, people.
08:49To burn these calories, from a spoonful.
08:53Well, thank you very much, Chingo, for this day with me.
08:57I loved the food, it was a great plan.
08:59And now I only wish you a lot of luck in what is left of the year and the tournaments.
09:03Thank you very much, I had a great time and the food was incredible.
09:08The number one in the world, Arturo Coelho, has moved to Miami.
09:11We want to know what a day of training with him is like.
09:15Arturo, good morning.
09:16How are you?
09:18All good? Have you had breakfast already?
09:20Very good.
09:22Well, I don't know if you're ready to have a day of training with you.
09:27100%. Come, I'm going to show you what it's like with me one day.
09:29Let's go.
09:31I can be here all day, man, yes.
09:33If I don't think about it, I'll be here all day.
09:36You are right now the one who is opening the doors to padel in the United States.
09:41Well, yes, in the end, with my team, it is true that we decided that I wanted a change,
09:46I wanted to move and we saw a very good opportunity to grow padel here
09:51and at the same time grow as an athlete, as a figure.
09:54Of course, to be the number one in the world, you have to be all day.
09:58That's what forces me to do tapia, to play with him.
10:01But you are more of a Christian, right?
10:02I am a Christian, with respect to Messi, but I am a super Christian.
10:06In addition, the first video that Cristiano did of padel, he did it with you.
10:10Bye.
10:11Well, as you know, padel is flooding the city of Miami.
10:15There are more and more tracks, more fans of this sport that grows more and more every day.
10:21And today, taking advantage of the fact that Premier Padel has also landed in Miami,
10:24we are here at the Miami Open, at the Hard Rock Stadium,
10:27where there will also be a padel track.
10:30Mirra Andreeva, Arturo Coelho and many other tennis players will play on this track.
10:40And the match between the gypsies took place.
10:44Coelho and his compatriot Carlos Alcaraz had 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, which lasted 2 hours and 51 minutes.
11:00The extremely close game between Cookie Nieto and Mike Yanguas against Galán and Chingotto was epic.
11:072-6, 6-4 and 6-7, the tiebreaker was reached in the third set
11:11and the victory was won by, for small details, the pair number 2 of the tournament.
11:16Surprisingly, the other semifinal in which Coelho and Tapia faced Lebron and Stupa,
11:21against all odds, fell on the part of the recent winners in Cancun.
11:264-6, 4-6 and out of the final, for the first time in 16 consecutive finals, to the number 1 of the tournament.
11:34The men's final was full of emotion.
11:37For the first time after their breakup, Legalán and Lebron faced each other in a final.
11:42First easy set for the number 2 and second set that was fought in the tiebreaker,
11:46ending with the victory for Chingotto and Galán, who achieved their first title in 2025,
11:52becoming champions of Miami.
11:54The women's final was starred by Ari Sánchez and Paula José María against Gemma Triai and Delphi Brea.
12:00After losing the first set, Bea and Triai came back to get a victory for 2-6, 6-1 and 6-4.
12:07In this way, they achieved their third consecutive title after the triumphs in Gijón and Cancun.
12:13Without a doubt, it is a new couple, but with incredible results.
12:17Well girls, congratulations, champions in Miami, I think you can't start the year better.
12:23Totally, totally, I think it was a very special tournament, a new tournament
12:27and we really wanted to win this tournament since we arrived.
12:30Gemma, what are your feelings? You have changed and it seems that the change is going well, right?
12:35Yes, I can't be happier, the truth is that the couple is doing very well,
12:39the team is also very comfortable, very happy, enjoying the day-to-day a lot,
12:45the results are also accompanying us, which also helps me that everything flows more and there is more joy,
12:51but well, I think we are doing a very good job and we have to enjoy this moment.
12:57Well, congratulations, super victory in Miami, it's been a while since you reached a final with this energy
13:04and with a result like this, from Genoa also, what do you think?
13:08Well, the truth is that we are super happy because I think we were working very hard for this tournament
13:14and that there is a prize, in the end it is always satisfactory.
13:16Well, all the people are in the chingaraneta, which gives us support and gives us that encouragement
13:22to keep fighting and overcoming any difficulty that comes our way and thank all the people who have built us,
13:30who have brought us here and of course the family and friends who have always been there.
13:34First tournament in the United States and you have already won, so I think you have started with the big door
13:40and see you in the next tournament.
13:42And that was all from Premier Paddle week, we say goodbye from here, from the beaches of Miami Beach,
13:47don't miss our next tournament, always on Vsports.
