Thanks to his victory alongside Fede Chingotto in the final of P2 in Brussels, Ale Galan received a very special distinction: a bronze racket.
In addition to the winner's trophy, the Spaniard was awarded a bronze racket weighing 17 kg and worth 30.000 Euros. This trophy rewards the two “Galantico” successes in three years at the Brussels Open. This is the first time in history that a padel player has received this award.
During his speech, Ale Galan obviously thanked Fede Chingotto for yesterday's victory, but he also paid tribute to Juan lebron with whom he won the title in 2022.
