On the YouTube broadcast of the final, there is no doubt that it was a massive success for Paraguay - the shocking celebration in the middle of the court was saying a lot.
A total of 13 nations participated in the world championship, which the Spanish Padel Federation decided to decline due to covid-19-restrictions earlier this year.
According to the International Padel Federation's website, the Junior World Championships have been played since 2009, and Spain has completely dominated. Out of a total of twelve golds awarded (six women, six men), they have only missed out on one.
Argentina, who have been finalists every time, took the gold home in Argentina on the men's side in 2013.
