00:00Federico Chingotto and Paquito Navarro, Momo González and Sanyo Gutiérrez.
00:09The seventh seeded pairing and what a pairing.
00:11First tournament together was the end of April.
00:14On the left for the baseball captain, Momo González.
00:17To his right, Sanyo Gutiérrez.
00:20Fourteenth and twelfth respectively in the individual rankings.
00:23They are the seventh seeds here in Madrid.
00:28To get to the final, they will have to defeat runners-up in Rome, the third seed.
00:32And also a new pairing in 2023, Federico Chingotto who waves the crowd and Paquito Navarro.
00:40They are the eighth and seventh ranked best players in the world of paddle right now.
00:46I don't know if that's tactics or just a little chat between the two.
00:51At your service, Daniel Gutiérrez.
00:57Four.
01:27It's set up at a perfect height for Federico Chingotto to smash it away into a first blood.
01:57It's always going to be very difficult for González and Gutiérrez.
02:00Chingotto for the error.
02:04Oh, it wasn't high enough.
02:06Didn't have to leap that much for Paquito Navarro.
02:09He's not the tallest at five foot nine.
02:12Up it went.
02:14Down it went.
02:16Opportunity here for a double break.
02:19The break point.
02:28Excellent disguise from Gutiérrez.
02:31Shaked up for power.
02:33Went for touch.
02:41Oh, brilliantly played.
02:50And again.
02:58Four.
03:05Oh, fabulous.
03:08Such versatility on the volley, Navarro.
03:13Fourteen, fifteen.
03:14Just what he's capable of.
03:16Game points for 3-1.
03:22No, no, no, no.
03:24Enough spin on the ball to take it out of the cage and take them to 3-1 first set.
03:30Navarro, Chingotto, 3-1.
03:33Three games, 2-1.
03:45Flows out to 15.
03:46So just the one breaker serve that came in the very first game of this semi-final separates the two.
03:5320 minutes played, the 30.
04:0015 minutes.
04:05Perfect placement.
04:07Into the body of Chingotto and opportunities to get us back on serve in this first set.
04:20It's good play, it's a loud play.
04:24Little I'm sorry, I'm not really sorry following it, but that's how you're going to win the point.
04:28The body could not get out of the way, bunched him up completely.
04:43Flew off the racket of Chingotto, you could see what he was trying to do.
04:46He put under a lot of pressure.
04:59And there it is.
05:02Third time lucky for Chingotto and Navarro.
05:14Oh, the gap was there.
05:16He left it Navarro, again he made the move to the centre.
05:20They hold, they lead on serve.
05:24That was a present for Navarro.
05:26And all the time that we've seen him.
05:28That's what he's like.
05:30Come on, go for it.
05:41Oh, it's a lonely ride for him.
05:44The first four minutes of the game this way.
05:47As we said, it's a lonely ride.
05:50It is a lonely ride for them.
05:52It all the time in the world to wait for it to come down to the perfect height
05:57Knifing through with the backhand volley
06:19We play on
06:22Oh
