Coki Nieto signs the point of the year at Roland Garros with a block-drop never seen before
Look, we have seen crazy things in the world of paddle tennis, but The blow that Coki Nieto made in the Premier Padel Paris Major, held at Roland Garros, is unprecedented. A true madness that has helped the Madrid player to score what he is the point of the year on the professional circuit.
Many times Players put down the racket when they see that a shot falls short in case ‘the flute sounds’ and it happens that the ball bounces off them. Normally it doesn’t happen and, if it does, it usually doesn’t end up on the court. On some special occasion we have seen magical blockages, but What Coki Nieto has done during the round of 16 of the tournament is unprecedented.
Playing against Álvaro Meléndez and Cristian Gutiérrez, his partner Jon Sanz tried to finish from the linebut he has fallen slightly short in his punch. One of his rivals has been able to arrive and, Coki, seeing that the point was practically lost, turned around. Nevertheless, He has placed the shovel just in caseor, as it happens, the ball has gone right against her.
Cristian Gutiérrez puts his hands on his head.
Not only has he followed the point at stake, but His hitting has taken such an effect that he has bounced in the rival field to immediately return to his own field. A throwback to the era that has ended with all the players putting their hands on their heads. Grandson himself was incredulous. and no one expected that Thursday’s day at Roland Garros could leave us one of the best points in the history of paddle tennis.
