Biography
El Ratón — the sharpest tactician in the game
Born in Buenos Aires in 1997, Chingotto formed a celebrated all-Argentine pair with Juan Tello — 'the cat and the mouse' — from 2016, spending years among the top pairs on the World Padel Tour. After a season alongside Paquito Navarro he joined Alejandro Galán in March 2024.
The partnership has won seven titles in 2026, including the Madrid P1 and the Pretoria P1, and reached the finals of the Rome and Paris Majors. Chingotto's game is built on court coverage, patience and a precise, low-risk attack — his Bullpadel Neuron is tuned for control rather than raw power.
