It was expected, and now it is official: **Tino Libaak and Gonza Alfonso** will join forces for the rest of the 2026 season. The two Argentines confirmed their partnership on social media, just days after the split between Libaak and Alex Chozas.

The new pair is intriguing because it brings together two different profiles: Libaak, a young player already exposed to the highest level, and Alfonso, long regarded as one of A1 Padel’s major names before trying to establish himself in the international ecosystem now dominated by Premier Padel.

## A logical move after the end of Libaak / Chozas

The split between Tino Libaak and Alex Chozas triggered a quick reshuffle. According to reports from Analistas Padel and Padel Magazine, the Alfonso option quickly took shape, while Chozas was linked with a project alongside Javi Barahona.

For Libaak, the choice looks like an attempt to stabilise. The Argentine has already had several strong moments at a very young age, with partnerships that put him under the spotlight, but also with the classic challenge faced by early talents: turning potential into regular results against established pairs.

## Alfonso, an attacking weapon to integrate

Gonza Alfonso arrives with a clear reputation: a player able to take charge, produce attacking volume and weigh in when rallies become harder. His time on A1 Padel gave him visibility and a winning culture, but the challenge is different when every draw brings physical and tactical density with almost no breathing room.

The key for the pair will therefore be balance more than raw talent. Libaak can bring mobility, creativity and execution speed. Alfonso can add weight in attack and transition phases. The question is how the two Argentines will share responsibilities in tight moments: who takes the middle, who handles high balls, who sets the tempo when the match closes in.

## A project to watch from the next tournaments

This partnership arrives at a time when many pairs are still searching for the right formula. Behind the circuit’s references, there is room for duos able to create a short-term spark and then extend it. Libaak / Alfonso fits exactly into that category: promising enough to attract attention, but still needing proof over time.

Their first mission is easy to state and hard to deliver: quickly move from being an interesting pair to being a dangerous one. In a packed calendar, the first draws will soon show whether this Argentine partnership can disrupt more than it promises.
