From World Paddle Tour they spoke to us a few months ago about the figure of the first 'great companion' Juani Mieres, who was struggling to overcome a serious illness. Very sad for the news of his recent death, the player from Bahia Blanca wanted to pay him an emotional tribute.  

Padel World Press .- At the end of September, the WPT team rescued a photo that wrapped a very special feeling for one of the best players in the world. Juani Mieres had already been looking for a while in Argentina to follow very closely the evolution of his great friend Gustavo Papucci, who was fighting his match against a serious illness.

Just a few hours ago, the 'cabezón' said goodbye to us and, for that reason, the brilliant player from Bahía Blanca gave him emotional words:

"Gustavo dear ...

I'm going to miss you so much… You fought this shitty disease like a champion that you were. The times we talked, you felt so positive that I never thought this was going to happen. Thank you for everything you taught me as a partner, friend and brother.

I will always remember the Minors tournaments that we played together and you won them alone; the laughter in the Provincial, National, World. He will always remember the trick matches, the German car laps, your advice ...

You were, are and will be a brother to me. I will always have you in my heart, Gustavo, 'big head' dear ...

Rest in peace and we will see each other again to give us a big hug !!!

Juani Mieres ".
