Mike Yanguas is expected to team up with Pablo Lijó at the Milano Premier Padel P1, scheduled for October 12–18, 2026, at the Allianz Cloud. The pairing comes after Coki Nieto’s withdrawal, reported on October 9 by Spanish media outlet Padel Addict. It has been announced as a temporary arrangement for the Milan event.
A new pairing for the Milan tournament
According to Padel Addict, Coki Nieto will not compete in the Italian tournament. The outlet notes that he had already withdrawn from the Germany P2 in Düsseldorf before the main draw. It mentions physical discomfort but gives no specific diagnosis or return timeline.
Pablo Lijó is named as Yanguas’s replacement partner in Milan. The information concerns this event on the circuit: it does not establish that Yanguas and Nieto have split permanently. The article cited gives no return date for Nieto.
What does Yanguas–Lijó’s position on the list mean?
Padel Addict reports that Yanguas–Lijó appears in eighth position on the entry list, compared with sixth position for Yanguas–Nieto on the initial list. This should be understood as a position on the list reported by the outlet. It is neither a world ranking nor confirmation of a seeded position.
The Milan tournament is still upcoming at the time this information was published, on October 9. The announced pairing therefore offers no basis for predicting its run or results. Any developments concerning Nieto or the status of this pairing remain to be confirmed by later reports.
