While the circuit  Premier Padel  observing a week's break before the Valladolid meeting, all eyes are on the  Marbella Reserve Cup  (June 18-20). And among the most anticipated posters of the event, one in particular attracts attention: that of  Alejandro Galán and Leo Augsburger , gathered on the same side of the track.

An association that seemed improbable just a few months ago and which already promises a great show.

"I'll prepare the points for him to finish."

Asked by Padel ReviewAlejandro Galán humorously discussed this unprecedented partnership and the distribution of roles on the field.

"We haven't talked about it yet, but since I sometimes like to play on the right, I'll ask him if I can build up points for him to destroy," explained the world number 2.

A statement that perfectly sums up what Leo Augsburger represents today: one of the most explosive players on the circuit, capable of turning a rally around in a few shots.

Galán impressed by the Argentinian's progress

Beyond his offensive power, Galán also wanted to highlight the young Argentinian's development in recent months.

"You can see how much he has improved defensively. He is a tremendous player. Everyone can already see his potential, and the future belongs to him," said the Spaniard.

These are strong words from one of the best players in the world, which testify to Leo Augsburger's rise to prominence. Long considered an almost exclusively offensive player, the Argentinian is now showing an increasingly complete repertoire and continues to reach new levels on the professional circuit.

A much-anticipated attraction in Marbella

With no stakes in the standings, the Reserve Cup offers a rare opportunity to see the emergence of unprecedented partnerships between the best players in the world.

Between Galán's creativity and game-reading prowess and Augsburger's devastating power, this impromptu pairing could well become one of the week's attractions in Marbella. One thing is certain: there's immense curiosity to see how these two players will adapt to each other… and whether Galán will truly manage to "set up the points" to let his partner finish them off.

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 !
