For their entry into the main draw of the Brussels P2, Thomas Leygue et Clement Geens had an appointment with a dreaded pair: Tolito Aguirre et Gonzalo Alfonso, nicknamed the “Mágicos”. But what could have been a close duel quickly turned one-sided.

A one-sided start to the match

From the first exchanges, Aguirre and Alfonso impose their rhythm. A entry station wagon launches the Argentinians perfectly, very focused and applied. Opposite, Leygue and Geens struggle to get into the game. We feel nervousness, especially among Clement Geens, author of several unusual fouls. The Franco-Belgian duo seemed paralyzed by the stakes and the very particular atmosphere of this central court in Brussels, in front of a dense and noisy crowd totally won over to the cause of Leygue and Geens.

Result: a first set dispatched 6/1 in just 21 minutes, without Leygue and Geens being able to really exist. Caught out of control and imprecise, the two players are unable to establish their game or establish any momentum.

No reaction in the second set

Unfortunately for the Belgian fans, the second round will not see any resurgence. Geens, still in difficulty, fails to raise his voice, while Leygue, often alone, tries unsuccessfully to stick it back together. Opposite, Aguirre and Alfonso continue their demonstration, chaining winning points and maintaining constant pressure.

The score is clear: 6/1 6/0 in 47 minutes of play. A clear and frustrating defeat for Leygue and Geens, who were never able to express their usual level in this match.

An authoritarian victory for Aguirre and Alfonso

This success allows the “Magicos” to join the round of XNUMX, where they will find a well-known pair: Paquito Navarro and Lucas Bergamini.

To Leygue and GeensThis elimination marks a brutal setback after their strong Qatar Major run. But against one of the most dangerous pairs on the circuit, in such a charged context, this premature exit should above all serve as a lesson to help them bounce back better.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
