Nito Brea, one of the leading coaches in the world of paddle tennis, puts all his knowledge at the service of fans of the sport. The Argentine preparer, with the help of the data registered in PadelStat, gives us his opinion on the keys of the first semifinal of the Estrella Damm Badajoz Open. In it, Pablo Lima and Juani Mieres defeated Sanyo Gutiérrez-Maxi Sánchez.
Padel World Press .- Statistics increasingly play a more important role when analyzing the final result of any padel match. Therefore, on this occasion, Nito Brea will use the statistics obtained with the PadelStat App for, with the objective figures and without having seen the meeting, try to find out what were the factors that led to the victory of the Princes.
As a first conclusion, it could be highlighted that the consistency won the departure to the irregularity. When the numbers of both pairs are observed, it can be seen that, more than in the winning points (where the couple Lima-Mieres obtained 27 points against the 23 of Sanyo-Sanchez), the duel opted for the errors ... And it is that while Juani and Pablo committed a total of 18, 13 of which unforced, their opponents failed on 31 occasions (19 not forced). That means that they committed an 70% more errors than their opponents and that data, in such equal collisions, suppose to grant a lot of advantage.
Another key to keep in mind was the performance with the Sanyo Gutiérrez service. The great player from San Luis was broken in two of the five occasions he served. In addition, he was the contender that more serves had to do to try to maintain his service, with 33 first serves in five games ... That gives us an average of 6,6 serves against the 4,6 of Lima, the 4,7 of Maxi Sánchez or the 6 of Juani Mieres.
Balance versus little consistency
Once again, Pablo and Juani were characterized by their regularity and by the good numbers they offered. Without being brilliant, they were enough to subdue a pair that, according to the data, had two weak points: Sanyo did not perform his best match as evidenced by his high NFR index, while Maxi had more EF than in He is usually habitual.
What evaluation can be done? Well, Maxi was not consistent and that made Sanyo had to try to force his shots to the maximum to get the game ahead ... It could also be that Sanyo was erratic and imprecise, so he left many easy balls for Pablo and Juani to press Maxi .
When analyzing the statistics of the first set we can verify that Sanyo did not have a good start since he committed 9 ENF, 2 EF and 5 PG. In addition, they broke 2 of the 3 times that the service had. Maxi, on the other hand, started much more toned. He won his 2 white serve games and added 3 ENF, 5 EF and 5 PG.
With these, data and beyond that in the second set Sanyo improved its performance, Nito Brea risked saying that it was Sanyo who dragged Maxi and not the other way around.
