It was one of the most anticipated duels. Practically since March, when Alejandro Galán made the decision to break up with Juan Lebron after the Doha Major, many padel fans examined the tournament tables exhaustively to see if it happened. AND to the ninth tournament, it will happen.
This Saturday, Federico Chingotto and Alejandro Galánwho have made a whopping eight consecutive semi-finals – they have made full finals since they got together – will face Paquito Navarro and Juan Lebron, what viven this Genoa P2 of Premier Padel as their penultimate tournament together after the decision of the man from Cádiz to break the union and embark on a new adventure with Martín Di Nenno.
The Madrid native once again left another historic point in the semifinals of the P1 in Chile.
And spectacular duel between couples 2 and 4 in the rankingg in which an unusual situation will occur, at least during the last years. If it was already strange for many to see Lebron and Galán with other teammates, it may be even more so to see them on the court… but on different sides. And it is that Since August 2019, this situation has not occurred.
You have to go back to Victoria Mijas Open 2019 Beers on World Padel Tourin the semi-final duel that The Galán/Lima couples faced off against Lebron/Navarro. That season the Andalusians finished at the top of the ranking, but this duel, also semi-finalsthey took him away 7-6 y 6-3 in what was the prelude to a final in which they defeated Coki Nieto and Javi Rico.
It will be a highly anticipated image that will be repeated 2,157 days later and in which the ‘reunion’ will be double, since Paquito and Chingotto also formed a couple in 2023 that crowned in style taking the Final Master in Barcelona… precisely against Lebron and Galán. The circle will ‘close’ this Saturday.
