When for his Riyadh P1, Juan LeBron had a somewhat awkward – or comical, depending on your point of view – moment. While he was indulging in the usual post-game autograph exercise, a fan handed him a NOX racket to get his signature. The catch? This racket was none other than that ofAgustín Tapia, one of his main rivals on the circuit. A detail for some, an affront for others, especially when we know that Lebron is the standard of Babolat, the French brand that has equipped it for several seasons.

The Spaniard, taken by surprise, still signed the object of the crime, but it is difficult to imagine that he did so with enthusiasm. We can assume that his look said it all, like “Are you sure about what you’re doing, amigo?”One thing is certain: the fan in question will remember this moment for a long time and will perhaps understand, next time, that it is better to avoid this kind of misunderstanding... otherwise he risks upsetting his favorite player (and his sponsor at the same time).
