The Argentinian player brought his career in the elite to an end by competing in his last official match alongside his son, Juan Pedro ‘Juanpe’ Moyano, in an emotional farewell that focused the attention of the tournament. After the match, Moyano received a tribute from the Rafa Nadal Academy, which he joins as a coach of professional padel players.
