Di Burger: how Di Nenno and Augsburger turned the padel world upside down
Di Nenno – from “almost there” to truly happy
Martín Di Nenno was long seen as a player who always came close to the absolute top, but rarely reached the very highest step. Injuries and setbacks marked his career, and critics often questioned whether he was really good enough to win the biggest prizes. He had the talent, but sometimes seemed to lack the final spark.
Off the court, however, Di Nenno found something that changed everything: his dream woman. Thanks to her, he now radiates happiness and stability. Where he once faltered in decisive moments, he now plays with calm determination. The smile he carries is at least as dangerous for his opponents as his technical finesse.
Augsburger – from Posadas
At his side is Leo Augsburger, with perhaps the hardest smash in Premier Padel. Growing up in Posadas, Argentina, surrounded by his family’s padel courts, he was called a natural talent from an early age. At 14 he quit school to dedicate himself fully to padel – a bold choice that showed his hunger for success.
With his explosive smashes and relentless energy, Augsburger quickly conquered the hearts of fans. He is young, ambitious, and perhaps the embodiment of padel’s future. While Di Nenno brings calmness and experience, Leo adds fireworks and brute force. Together they form the perfect balance: control and power, patience and explosiveness.
The magical duo in Madrid
In Madrid, we saw the magic of this new duo at its strongest. Not only did they defeat world number one Tapia & Coello in the final, but along the way they also eliminated the top pairs Stupa–Lebrón and Chingotto–Galán. Three absolute world-class teams in a row, overcome by Di Nenno’s precision and Augsburger’s power – a run that will go down in padel history.
And then came the moment that said it all: on match point, when Augsburger – as we’ve seen him so often – unleashed a devastating smash from the back of the court, sending the ball high over the 1.94-meter tall Coello, it was over. The title was theirs!
The young Argentine could no longer hold back his emotions. For him this was not just a victory, but proof that all his sacrifices – giving up his youth, the bold move to Europe, and the constant pressure of expectations – had been worth it. His tears showed what makes sport so beautiful: behind every smash and every volley is a human being with a story.
The crowd saw a Di Nenno flourishing thanks to his happiness off the court, and an Augsburger who confirmed his immense potential as a young powerhouse. Together they wrote a new chapter where experience and youth, love and explosiveness, stability and emotion reinforce each other.
What’s next?
After this sensational victory in Madrid, the question is: where does it end? If Di Nenno maintains this form and Augsburger keeps growing, it’s not unthinkable that they will dominate the upcoming Premier Padel tournaments as well. Their mix of emotional balance and raw power makes them perhaps the most dangerous duo of this season.
The padel world has been warned: this is only the beginning of Di Burger.
