The rumor is growing behind the scenes of Premier Padel : a separation between Martín Di Nenno et Juan Lebrón could become official at the end of the Premier Padel Finals next December.
However, this association officially announced on July 19 last one seemed promising. Although the duo is still in the running-in period, it has already shown good things on the track, even if a greater regularity remains to be found. Six months after their announcement, rumors already evoke a separation between the Argentinian and the Spaniard.
Lebrón and Augsburger: a new pair for 2024?
According to our colleagues Padel and Beers, Juan Lebrón, nicknamed “El Lobo”, has reportedly already found a new partner for the 2024 season: Leo AugsburgThis association, if confirmed, would mark a significant change for Lebrón, who would team up with a player currently outside the world top 10Indeed, Augsburger, currently 31st in the world rankings, could be the surprise element of this new pair.
For Augsburger, the opportunity would represent a huge leap forward, allowing him to partner with one of the world's best players. Alex Chozas, his current partner, would thus be collateral damage and will then have to put himself on the market for available players. (Like Martin Di Nenno, by the way...)
What position on the track?
This association raises an essential question: What will the configuration be on the track?
Leo Augsburger, known for his power and his role as left player, will he have to move to the right to adapt to Lebrón? Or Juan Lebrón, who already played on the right alongside Alejandro Galán, will he return to this position?
These tactical adjustments could play a key role in the success of this eventual pairing, especially as Leo Augsburger is one of the greatest gunners on the current circuit.
Guesses for now
At this point, all this remains conditional. The separation between Di Nenno and Lebrón, just like the Lebrón/Augsburger association, has not yet been confirmed. Premier Padel Finals could clarify the situation and provide a definitive answer to this rumor.
