Padel World Press .- In addition to reviewing the results and the most relevant news that occurred in recent days, in This is Paddle, the program co-produced by Padel Word Press and Capital Radio, they had one of those very special guests: Javi Garrido.
This young Cordovan, born in 2.000, has just been tested in Selectividad and is the youngest player in history to reach the round of 16 of a WPT tournament. In relation to his studies, Javi commented that once he knows the grades he would like to study INEF in Madrid, something that could be easily combined with his participation in the Circuit.
From small, the Andalusian combined his academic obligations with the paddle and confessed with desire to start studying the race. "I'm not in a hurry to get the race. That allows me to combine it in the best possible way and have a more professional route ".
Asked about his recent association with Tito Allemandi, with whom he already reached the second round at the Lisbon Challenger, Javi Garrido said that sharing the track with a player in that category: "It is a quality jump, one of those opportunities that you can not miss".
The difference in age between the two is overwhelming (20 years apart) but, according to the member of the StarVie Team, these associations between younger players and veterans are becoming more common and always beneficial for both parties. "In the end, the young players help the older ones in things like the desire and the energy while they help us with their experience and their journey when facing the competition in another way".
By mentioning the comparison between him and Paquito Navarro, acknowledged that between the two seem to exist many parallels but confessed that who has always inspired his game is Juani Mieres, with which he feels very identified: "Because in addition to a player he is a very good person".
As for the rest of the young talents that are beginning to enter the world of professionals, Javi Garrido assured that it is not an easy process. "I went little by little. I played a couple of tournaments with 15 years and the following season I started to take it more seriously. The truth is that to start competing at the highest level when you are so young is always complicated. "
Regarding his future, he wanted to emphasize that "I must be realistic about my goals." Reaching the top requires a long learning process and a job that he does not hesitate to apply to his game ... "But it is not something that can be achieved in two days."
Do not hesitate and listen to the full program ... That's right This is Paddle, a new meeting point for all lovers of this wonderful sport.
