Martin Di Nenno: How Much Has He Earned in Padel?

Born on March 18, 1997, in Argentina, Martin Di Nenno arrived on the professional padel scene with a game that looked nothing like the power-heavy template that dominated the right side. Where others relied on raw pace and smash repetition, Di Nenno built his identity around deception: angles that did not exist on paper, drop shots that died in the glass, and víboras that veered away from opponents at the last moment. It was — and remains — a style built entirely on keeping the opposition off-balance.

His rise through the ranks was methodical rather than explosive. Di Nenno did not burst onto the scene as a teenage prodigy; he earned every rung of the ladder through volume and craft, entering tournament after tournament and refining his game in the process. By the time Premier Padel centralised the top-tier circuit, he was already a fixture inside the top 20 — and over the following two seasons, he pushed into the top 12, collecting three titles and building toward €450,000 in career prize money.

What defines Di Nenno's career trajectory is not one breakout moment but sustained presence at the highest level. He has competed in more tournaments than almost any other player in the current top 15 — 55 at the time of writing — a testament to a durability and consistency that statistical snapshots rarely capture.

Numbers tell stories that narratives alone cannot. Di Nenno's 55 tournaments put him among the most active players in the top 15 — a figure that speaks to physical durability, consistent qualification, and a competitive hunger that does not subside when results are mixed. Not every tournament ends in a title run; the vast majority end in quarterfinals, round of 16s, and the occasional early exit. But each one adds to the career total, each one sharpens the instincts, and collectively they have built a €449,806 career.

His average earnings per tournament sit at approximately €8,178 — a number that reflects both the paydays from deep runs and the quieter returns from early-round exits. Across his best seasons, that average climbs significantly: in 2024, with €194,000 from a full schedule of events, he was extracting far above-average value from each appearance, suggesting a player operating at a different level of efficiency than his career norm.

The 2026 season, still early at the time of writing, shows only €12,000 — modest, but a reflection of timing rather than decline. Di Nenno has historically been a player who builds momentum through the year, and with Stupaczuk alongside him, the second half of the calendar typically brings his biggest paydays.

The right side of the padel court has traditionally been a position defined by power: the smash, the aggressive volley, the athletic interception. Di Nenno occupies that same territory but operates from an entirely different philosophy. His weapon is not pace — it is unpredictability.

His chiquita is among the most precise on the circuit: dropped tight to the glass, barely clearing the net, forcing opponents to attack from a low, awkward position. His vibrora variations — particularly the spinning version he deploys under pressure — exit the racket at angles that make reading the ball genuinely difficult. And his bandeja, rather than being the neutral control shot most right-side players lean on, is often used as an offensive weapon, redirected sharply to disorganise defensive formations.

What makes this game translate into prize money is the cumulative exhaustion it inflicts on opponents. Teams that face Di Nenno cannot find a settled rhythm — there is no predictable pace or pattern to read. Combined with Stupaczuk's technical baseline control, Di Nenno's creativity manufactures opportunities out of situations that more conventional right-side players would surrender without a fight. That competitive edge, match after match, tournament after tournament, is what converts into the career earnings total on this page.
