Biography & Career:
Federico Chingotto is an Argentinian professional padel player widely known by the nickname "El Ratón" (The Mouse) for the remarkable agility and swift court coverage that define every match. Born in Olavarría, Buenos Aires, Argentina, he discovered padel as a child watching the whole family play and turned professional at just 14, competing in local tournaments across the country. He challenges conventional expectations in professional padel, proving that success in the sport comes from game intelligence, speed, and an impenetrable defense rather than physical size alone.

Federico Chingotto plays on the right side of the court and is considered one of the best defensive specialists in modern padel. The career truly took off in 2016 when he and long-time partner Juan Tello relocated from Argentina to Spain to compete on the World Padel Tour. The transition was difficult, but perseverance paid off as the pair steadily climbed the rankings and became one of the most recognized duos in the sport. After parting ways with Tello in 2022, he went on to form successful partnerships with Martín Di Nenno, Paquito Navarro, and eventually Alejandro Galán in 2024. The pairing with Galán has proven especially fruitful, with the duo quickly establishing themselves among the top-ranked teams in the world, winning multiple Premier Padel titles including two Rome Majors.

As of early 2026, he holds a top-3 position in the FIP world rankings, a testament to consistent elite performance and dedication. Beyond the court, personal life remains mostly private. There is no publicly confirmed information about a girlfriend, although recent media reports suggest he is in a relationship. There is also no verified data regarding net worth. What remains clear is that Federico Chingotto is one of the most exciting and beloved figures in professional padel, with a career that continues to inspire fans around the world.
