Since their separation in March 2024, Juan Lebrón et Alejandro Galán have not taken their eyes off each other... on the pitch. But if the two former world number 1s have each relaunched their careers alongside new partners, the relationship between the two men remained cold, almost icy. And it is in this tense context that they will once again find themselves face to face, on the night of Tuesday, April 1, for a finale with a strong personal accent at Premier Padel Santiago P1.

A week after an electric first final at Miami, won by Galán and Chingotto, is a immediate remake awaits the Chilean fans. The “Lobo” will meet his former teammate in the final, determined to take revenge. But so far, the numbers are not in his favor...

4-0 for Galán since the split

Since they are no longer the same team, Alejandro Galán won all his direct duels against Lebrón. In Genoa, Paris, Milan et Miami, each time in high-stakes matches, it was the Madrilenian who emerged victorious, often in style. A record of 4-0 in favor of Galán in 2024 and 2025, which brings to 6 his winning streak against Lebrón if we go back to their previous confrontations in 2019.

Historically, Galán leads 9 wins to 4 against his former partner. A clear domination, reinforced since their separation.

Opposite trajectories

If Juan Lebrón seems to find stability and confidence with Franco Stupaczuk (three finals in three tournaments), he still lacks a title against Galán to really turn the pageIn Miami, the Andalusian showed some good things, but was overshadowed by an imperial Galán in key moments.

For its part, Alejandro Galán, with Federico Chingotto, seems to have found a perfect complementarity. The automatisms are well-established, the dynamics are positive and the playing fluid. Two consecutive finals (and a potential second victory in P1 this season) could definitively establish the “Chingalaneta” as the team to beat.

A more than symbolic duel

Beyond the padel, this final has a scent of personal revenge. cold exchange of balls during warm-up In Miami, the avoided glances, the icy handshakes... All this illustrates a tension that is still very present between the two former teammates.

It's icy between Lebrón and Galán

Alejandro Galán dominates sports debates, Juan Lebrón is still trying to silence doubts and regain the confidence of the circuit. Another title this Tuesday could change that.

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 !
