The new association Juan Lebrón / Leo Augsburger, which will begin at Mexico MajorThis pairing intrigues everyone. An explosive, ultra-offensive duo, capable of turning any match around. Many already see them challenging the two established stars of the circuit: Tapia / Coello et Galan / ChingottoBut what do the figures really say?

An obvious complementarity

On their performance profileLebrón and Augsburger are at a very similar overall level. They both possess a extensive offensive capabilities, qualities ofattack Above average, and with a deliberately aggressive style. Where one shows a slight deficiency, the other compensates:

  • Lebrón brings more consistency and quality of return
  • Augsburger excels in attack.

But to dethrone Tapia/Coello and Galán/Chingotto, more will be needed.

Statistical comparisons with the two best pairs in the world show the current gap. Tapia/Coello and Galán/Chingotto display near-perfect profiles in all compartments of the game :
attack, Returns, regularity, mental, aggressiveness, Service...
A homogeneity and complementarity that explain their dominance.

In contrast, Lebrón/Augsburger remain more inconsistent. Their peaks are incredible, but their troughs are very costly.

The scary argument: winning points

The figures are clear:

  • Average of 41 winners per match
  • And in their 25% best matchesthey go up to 50 winners, another record

In terms of pure attacking quality, No one causes more damage than them..

The problematic argument: direct fouls

This is where the problem lies.
Lebrón / Augsburger are also the pair that commits the most unforced errors :

  • 24 faults per match on average
  • salary. 21 for Galán / Chingotto
  • et 18 for Tapia / Coello

The ratio winners / unforced errors remains too low to equal the top 2 pairs in the world.

A colossal volume of smash hits

The statistic that sums it all up:

  • 34 smash attempts per match
  • for 19 smash winners
  • efficiency at 56%logical given their ultra-aggressiveness

For comparison, Tapia/Coello have attempted 33 smashes and have a 58% success rate.
So they are in the right group… but still a little bit behind.

A pair capable of beating anyone…

The statistical potential is enormous. Unsurprisingly, their numbers show a real ability to challenge the two best pairs in the world. But to aim higher, they will need to:

  • reduce the unforced errors
  • stabilize the consistency in all compartments
  • to mentally sustain long conversations
  • better manage weak moments

Because faced with the monsters of regularity that are Tapia / Coello et Galan / ChingottoThe margin is still too small.

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 !
