Following the victory of Coello / Tapia face Lebron / Stupa when Riyadh P1, first event of the circuit Premier Padel, it is an exchange at the end of the match which arouses debate.

During the traditional hug, Lebron, ,hand in front of mouth, addresses at length Wall, who remains totally impassive, even avoiding his gaze and not answering a word. An attitude that has not escaped the observers, just like the reaction of Coello, who, seeing the scene out of the corner of his eye, prefers to stay away. The same goes for Stupa, who does not seem to want to get involved.

On social networks, speculation is rife: What did Lebron say to Tapia? Some imagine a reproach, others a poorly contained frustration. What is certain is that the sequence fuels the discussions.

With a touch of humor, here is an imaginary version of the exchange, inspired by recent events:

Lebron : “Tapia, did you see what the public dared to do? They handed me YOUR racket so I could sign it! It’s a shame! Since then, I’ve been disturbed, I can’t sleep anymore… You have to tell your public to stop making fun of me!”

Once upon a time there was Lebron, Nox and a fan: “Are you sure about what you’re doing, amigo?”

An intriguing scene, a visibly annoyed Lebron, and an impassive Tapia: this Riyadh P1 is definitely leaving its mark well beyond the field.
