Today, we will analyze the trajectory of this player from Chaco, one of the most well-known and relevant figures in the international padel scene.

Biography of Franco Stupaczuk

Franco Stupaczuk was born in a small town in Chaco Province, Argentina on March 25, 1996.

Starting at the age of 8, he began his practice in the sport, advancing through various junior categories in Argentina. By the age of 16, alongside his partner Martin Di Nenno, they became number 1. They played together until a tragic accident kept Di Nenno away from tournaments for several months.

In 2017, at 21, he transitioned to higher-tier tournaments. He did this alongside veteran Cristian Gutiérrez. Together, they surprised many and became champions in three tournaments, starting his long streak of victories.

By mid-2019, they parted ways, leading “Stupa” to experiment with different playing styles and partners. He finished the year playing alongside Matías Diaz, winning the Cordoba Open. Looking forward to the next season, he started playing alongside Sanyo Gutiérrez.

Although the partnership with Sanyo seemed promising because of their complementary playing styles, the duo didn’t achieve the expected results. They split after winning just one tournament in Menorca.

For the 2021 season, he started a new journey with Alex Ruiz. They had a strong performance, winning two tournaments and ending the season as the 4th best pair in the circuit.

However, in 2022, after several first-round losses, the duo decided to part ways to adjust their playing styles with better-suited partners.

During this short period, he played alongside the legend Pablo Lima, clinching a championship at the Open de France against the world number one pair Ale Galán and Juan Lebrón. He also won his first two titles in the Premier Padel circuit with Lima.

In 2023, after 7 years, the long-anticipated return of the duo known as “The Superkids” finally happened, aiming to become the number 1 pair on the circuit.

This goal with Martin Di Nenno has been increasingly in their reach as they became champions in 6 tournaments throughout the season, as well as winning the Doha Premier Padel tournament, not only enhancing their legend but aspiring to soon be known as the best players in the world.
