It was  the anticipated match  of the day at  Brussels P2 And he kept his promises.
 Juan Lebrón  et  Leo Augsburg  sign a  very big performance  dominating  Galan / Chingotto  in two mastered sets:  6 / 4 6 / 4 .

 A rematch in a tense rivalry 

This duel marked the first clash of the season between  Lebron and Galan , former partners turned rivals.
Up to this point, the advantage was clear for Galán ( 8-1  in confrontations).

But this time, the dynamic has reversed.

 Augsburger on fire, Lebrón as boss 

In  fast conditions ,  Leo Augsburg  delivered a benchmark performance.
Devastating smashes, effective counters, solid defensive presence: he did it all. He consistently gained the upper hand on the diagonal against  Gallant , yet rarely dominated in this sector.

By his side,  Juan Lebrón  has been  fair and consistent Highly involved, sometimes overexcited, he perfectly managed the low points and raised his level in the key moments.
Precise shots, clean lobs, management of important points: a very solid performance.

 A match controlled from start to finish 

The scenario is simple:
One break in each set is enough.

In the first round,  Lebrón / Augsburger  take the advantage and never let it go.
In the second, they break early and hold despite several break-back opportunities to  Galan / Chingotto who never manage to reverse the trend.

Opposite,  Gallant  struggled in his diagonal run, while  Chingotto  It didn't have its usual impact. Lebrón managed to push him out of his comfort zone.

 A final rediscovered 

With this victory,  Lebrón / Augsburger  find a  final , a first since the  Cancun P2 .
After two tournaments without qualifying, the duo is clearly reviving its momentum.

They are now waiting for their opponent:  Tapia / Coello  ou  Stupaczuk / Yanguas .

 A strong signal 

Beyond the result, the message is clear.
While doubts existed surrounding the pair,  Lebrón and Augsburger  showed a real  connexion  and above all a  very high level of play .

At their best, they are capable of competing with the two best pairs on the circuit.

And in the rivalry,  Lebrón makes his first move this season  against Galán, even though the Spaniard remains far ahead in the overall record.

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 !
