Álvaro Cepero Shines in Venezuela: Finalist at the Puerto Cabello Open Padel Fest | 4th Edition

Puerto Cabello became the stage for one of the most emotional and inspiring runs of the season — and our player, Álvaro Cepero, was at the heart of it.

Alongside his teammate Agustín Torre, “Chiqui” delivered an unforgettable performance at the Puerto Cabello Open Padel Fest VZLA | 4th Edition, reaching the final and showcasing the form, passion, and fighting spirit that have defined his career.

This result marks a major milestone for Álvaro, especially in what has undoubtedly been the toughest year of his professional journey. To see him smiling, competing at the highest level, and truly enjoying his time on court again was a moment of pride for all of us at Next Gen Sports.

A Road to the Final Worth Remembering

Cepero and Torre didn’t have an easy path to the final — in fact, they had one of the toughest draws imaginable. But match after match, they rose to the occasion:

🔹 Round of 16: Victory over legends Miguel Lamperti and Rafael Méndez
🔹 Quarterfinals: A stunning win against top contenders Martín Di Nenno and Javi Garrido
🔹 Semifinals: A solid performance to defeat Lucas Campagnolo and Maxi Sánchez

Each match was a test of grit, talent, and connection — and Álvaro passed them all with flying colors, showing composure under pressure and leadership on court.

A Final for the Age

The final against Paquito Navarro and Lucas Bergamini was nothing short of spectacular. A tight, high-intensity battle that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Despite falling short by the narrowest of margins — 7-6, 7-6 — Álvaro and Agustín left everything on court, confirming their place among the elite.

There are losses that feel like victories. This was one of them.
