The odyssey of Tolito Aguirre and Gonza Alfonso to arrive on time for the Mar del Plata P1

ANNONS

Tolito Aguirre and Gonza Alfonso fell in their debut at the Mar del Plata P1 of Premier Padel. However, the story behind their effort to make it on time for this match is one that few people know.

Aguirre and Alfonso played the final of the France Open of A1 Padel on Sunday at 2 PM. The match against Arce and Dal Bianco went to three sets, causing Tolito and his partner to miss the only available flight to Argentina scheduled for 7 PM. The remaining options were flights with many stopovers and long travel hours, a real odyssey knowing they had to play the next day in Argentina.

The Argentines lost 7/5 and 6/4 to Lijó and Diestro in a match lasting over two hours. Tolito and Alfonso's dream of proving themselves in Premier Padel was cut short in the first round. Whether the long journey and lack of rest were the main reasons for their defeat is up for debate, but what is certain is the great effort these two players made to travel across the world and play within 24 hours.

Despite the result, the atmosphere in the venue with Tolito and Alfonso was impressive. Aguirre is always one of the players who draws the most fans in Argentina. We'll have to wait to see this pair in Premier Padel again.
