There are players who go through better lines and worse lines , it’s the nature of sports , but It becomes especially painful in the case of Juan Tello. It seems that the Argentine has taken a step back in his brilliant career and is The latest results show a decline in his game.
No one doubts John’s talent , but His level in the last few months is not what we expect from a player with his potential. The irregularity and inconsistency of the last two teammates weighed heavily on Tello, who always aimed to fight for the top. Now, after losing in the first rounds at some recent tournaments, He came out of the top 16 in the rating of the International Federation of journalists. I haven’t been far behind since 2018.
The beginning of this protrusion has its origin in his separation from FIDE chingutu. A very charismatic couple, they perfectly understand each other and have been fighting side by side for many years. It was Tello himself who decided to implement a new project with Paquito Navarro. With the Andalusian, despite some good tournaments (including the title), the work did not end. The Seville experience on the right Things didn’t go well and they ended up breaking up.
Then I played with Alex Ruiz In a couple, without disappointing, can not rise to the top. They finally broke up and the ‘cat’ started playing with Bella in Leadership. As with Baku, the results are not coming and impatience is growing. In a swap no longer waiting for anyone, many are already asking about another change of partner.
In fact, he has everything to succeed , but either by choosing companions or by a purely material matter, We are not seeing the great Tello that we expected him to see at this stage of his career.
Only one semi-final in 2024
The numbers speak for themselves. So far in 2024, He has fallen more times in the eighth round than in the quarterfinals. In addition, he was eliminated in the sixteenth twice. They are strange defeats for a player of his stature, but, unfortunately, they are very common this season.
As for the good results, He can only boast of a Bordeaux B2 semi-final. However, it is a success in conditioning , because it is about A test in which the first four couples were not present.
The year 2023 was also not ideal , but at least He managed to reach the final at the Malaga open of the padel World Tour. A year before that and the best thing we’ve seen from the Argentine since then is his Performance at the hexagon Cup with Martin Di Nino.
Still decisive
In spite of everything, He remains one of the most decisive players in the ring. His ultimate is a very dangerous weapon and is one of the most Winners Piling up. True, the number of his unforced errors is slightly higher than ideal, but because his technique is still trying to find the point in almost every hit.
This Padel Intelligence Graph shows the relationship between the number of shots per match and their percentage of effectiveness. Tello He is in a good place in terms of efficiency, being one of the backhand players who misses the least, But with a fairly low frequency. In fact, It is somewhat higher on both sides than August Ermen Tapia himself And with greater success than the gal ocean beer.
In contrast to fide chingoto
The ‘ cat ‘and’ mouse ‘ couple was loved by all. A pairing that fits perfectly and seems like it will last forever , but in professional racket tennis, “forever” is increasingly ephemeral and This inseparable duo ended up taking different paths.
However, One of them performed much better than the other. With Tello out of the top 16 for the first time in many years, Chingoto is living the sweetest moment of his career. Together with Gal Ermen, he is so immersed in the struggle for the first rank that after parting with Juan he found his best copy.
Together with FIDE we saw the head of Cordoba, strangely, He never had a partner like this again. Ruiz is a more striking left-handed, with a good game at the top, while Paquito and Bella were re-converted into setbacks. About us Leadership Defensively and more classically than Chingo helped Tello to fully concentrate on the end points.
Be that as it may, He now has a few weeks to train with Bella and try to get back on the winning track. A small break can mean before and after in A year that is being forgotten at the moment.
