La the most anticipated semi-final of the Mexico Major is here. And it's not just a clash between two in-form pairs… it's a confrontation that could reshape the top of world padel.

A colossal challenge for Galán and Chingotto

Ale Gallant et Faith Chingotto know that they don't have no room for error.
To hope to take the world number 1 ranking to the Golden Boys (COELLO/TAPIA), they must:

  1. win the Mexico Major
  2. and win the Barcelona Finals.

It's safe to say that this semi-final already feels like a final.

Their run in Acapulco proved it: capable of being pushed around, but always there when it counts. In the quarterfinals, they narrowly avoided elimination against Sanyo/Alfonso before turning the tide with sheer mental strength. A victory that reminded everyone why they are the most consistent pair of the season after Coello/Tapia.

Lebrón and Augsburger: the tornado that's coming, already underway

Opposite, Juan Lebrón et Leo Augsburg They move forward without pressure… but with monstrous confidence.

The new pair has already shown its dual nature: brilliant in the first round, in danger in the round of 16, then imperial in quarters against Barahona / García (6/2 6/2).

Since Augsburger raised their voices, the machine seems to be in motion. Their objective? Bringing down the best pairs in the world, nothing less.

And for the moment, the plan is unfolding perfectly.

A duel with the scent of rivalry… and revenge

But this semi-final goes beyond the sporting stakes:
It's a face-off between former partnersAnd not just any of them.

Gallant vs Lebrón.
Two players who dominated world padel together… before a complicated breakup.

Since this separation, the outcome is undeniable:
Galán leads 8–1 in their head-to-head matches.

But this time, Lebrón arrives with the most explosive weapon on the circuit Alongside him: Leo Augsburger, the rising star everyone is talking about.

With him, Lebrón wants change the trend… and why not relaunch a mad dash to the top for 2026.

A match that could change everything

This semi-final is not just a clash of styles.
This is not just a battle for a place in the final.
This is a match that could:

  • revive the race at number 1,
  • reveal a new super-pair,
  • power a explosive personal rivalry,
  • and perhaps write the first chapter of a huge Galán vs Lebrón storyline… version 2.0.

So…
Will Galan/Chingotto withstand the pressure?
Or will Lebrón/Augsburger ignite the spark that can change everything?

Answer on the track.

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 !
