Ignacio Piotto Albornoz

Ignacio Piotto Albornoz is a professional padel player from Argentina, aged 24, standing 1.76 metres tall. Born on 6 March 2002 in Argentina, he plays on the backhand side and is currently ranked 53. He partners Javier Gonzalez Barahona.

Ignacio "Nacho" Piotto Albornoz grew up in Concarán, a small town in Argentina's San Luis province, far from padel's traditional strongholds. He rose through the FIP and Premier Padel circuits, partnering with players such as Mario del Castillo, with whom he won a Miami Premier Padel P1 match in 2025, and José Antonio Diestro.

A highlight came in 2026 at the South American Games in Santa Fe, the first edition to include padel in the official medal programme. Alongside Santino Contreras, Piotto reached the final without dropping a set, then lost 6-4, 7-6 to Paraguay's Martín Abud and Facundo Dehnike to take silver.
