“Los Magicos” Tolito Aguirre and Gonzalo Alfonso have formally announced their split following a string of underwhelming tournament results. Once regarded as one of Premier Padel’s most entertaining duos, the Argentine pair decided to split ways after struggling to keep up their play.
Following a good performance in Brussels, when they challenged Paquito Navarro and Lucas Bergamini to the limit, their slide started. But later losses in Rome, Buenos Aires, and Asuncion revealed their inability to compete at the top level. They had to reconsider their collaboration because, in spite of their obvious brilliance, they were unable to duplicate their previous achievements.
In order to compete in Premier Padel, Aguirre and Alfonso had already abandoned A1 Padel, where they held the top ranking. High hopes were raised for their transition, but they had trouble competing with the circuit’s best players. The absence of top-ranked players because of a boycott helped their performances, even though they made it to two finals early in the season.
The pair emphasized in their parting statement that their friendship endures despite their professional separation and thanked each other for their journey together.
This was the statement:
“Today is a sad day in which we announce our separation, what we are today and where we have become together, full of great moments, victories, and much, much experience. Our greatest professional and personal advancement in life has been together, and that’s why right now our friendship and how much we love each other are paramount, allowing us to continue moving forward and each of us to be our best selves separately, as we have tried together but so far have not succeeded.
Only expressions of appreciation, regard, and respect for one another emerge.
Before starting their separate careers in the professional circuit, they intend to conclude their collaboration on a high note at their final event together, which will be held in Valladolid. Los Magicos’ ingenuity, flair, and memorable on-court events will surely stick in the minds of their fans.
