The popular pair go their separate ways: ”Chose friendship”

— I can confirm that, but I still can't say who it will be next season. I have a fierce temperament, so does he, so we chose the friendship before we killed each other, sportingly speaking"., Lamperti tells Libertad Digital.

The announcement was made after Lamperti and Yanguas had played their best tournament together in terms of results - a semi-final of the Mexico Open.

— I will go public with who I will play after the Masters, he continues. 

Ending career in two years

He says the decision was not an easy one to make.

— In the end, there were doubts on his part, and then I told him that we should break up. If there's not 100 percent certainty, we can't be 100 percent together. You need to be yourself, and for this, you need to find another player, maybe younger, at least someone who lets you be yourself. It's not a problem," Lamperti concludes.

He also says that he set an end date to his career in the interview. 

— I'll play two more years, and then it's over. I want to end on a good note and not feel like I don't have the chance to win titles. 

No player has confirmed a new partner for 2022.
