This is a  a real bomb in the world of padel  : the  separation between Franco Stupaczuk and Juan Lebron  seems to be a done deal, even if the two players concerned remain very discreet for the moment.

Lebron will play with Alex Ruiz in Brussels

According to initial information,  Juan Lebron will be partnered with Alex Ruiz  when  Brussels P2 , expected from  20 to 27 April . An announcement that  surprises many fans both  Lebron seemed to have found a positive dynamic with Stupa .

Their record was more than honorable:  4 finals out of 4 tournaments played , with a victory in the  Cancun P2  (admittedly played without the best players in the world, but still significant).

Confirmed: Juan Lebron and Stupa, it's (already) over, Lebron / Ruiz at Brussels P2!

The operation of the century for Alex Ruiz?

If there is one who realizes  a great operation  is  Alex Ruiz . In difficulty at the start of the season with  Alex Chozas  (17th in the world), the Spanish left-hander struggled to find his best form.  This new duo with LeBron could well revive his season .

On the other hand, this decision obliges  Lebron to go back to the left , a position in which  he never really dominated against the very best , unlike his preferred position on the right.

A new pair… less well ranked

By partnering with Ruiz,  Juan Lebron goes down the hierarchy . The duo is currently  seed n ° 4  for Brussels P2, one place lost in the table compared to the Lebron/Stupa pair.

What future for Stupa?

For the moment,  nothing has been made official regarding Stupa's future partner . One thing is certain:  he will not play with Alex Chozas , despite some persistent rumors. Chozas, for his part,  will team up with Facundo Dominguez  (73rd in the world), which relegates this new pair to the  16th place in the table . A  bad operation for the Argentinian , who had started the year with great ambitions.
