This week’s recap is about the P1 in Malaga, where nothing major happened… but is that the truth? Coello and Tapia won convincingly, but there were a lot of great battles and we have spoken about the usual suspects! Also, Tarragona P1 is close and the entry list looks packed! There are a lot of new faces, who are playing together and we were wondering on who might come out on top! And lastly we had a few statements which Tomi came up with and we spoke about them in depths. For example, is Augsburger the best smasher? Would Galan be better off without Chingotto? Will Yanguas and Nieto win a title this year? And many many more! false

We sat down with Tomi again to discuss the happenings on the P2 which happened indoors in Bordeaux! We talk about the amazing Coello-Tapia pairing and how they conquered the French city, why we still think Coello is underrated and if Tapia would beat Chingalan with Lebron or not? Plenty of topics and we cannot wait to record the recap on Malaga! false

The Premier Padel season reached it's most exciting period and the players went to play in Coello's hometown! Lebron and Stupa beat Chingalan in the semi, and we talk about the many different interesting bits on what has happened on this P2, which feels definitely like a P1. Tune in for the ladies' part as well, while we settle the score on who we think the most iconic pairs are in both men's and women's game. false

Mauri Andrini is always a pleasure to have on the podcast and he immediately said yes to my question on recording another episode with him. We talk about really controversial topics, and he has been just an absolute star again! Worth a listen! false
