Juan Lebron and Ale Galan, after three years of absolute reign on the planet padel, are definitely experiencing a difficult 2023 season.

Tonight it was Maxi Sanchez and Lucho Capra who sent the number 1s in the FIP standings home. Already battered during a set yesterday against Javi Martinez and Jorge Ruiz, the players of Mariano Amat have confirmed all the doubts hanging over them this Thursday evening.

In tears after the victory in sixteenth, Juan Lebron will probably be inconsolable tonight. The Andalusian, who has struggled to regain his level of play since his forearm injury, is currently in doubt and it shows on the track. Not yet in top form, the player from Cadiz was full of cramps today, which did not fail to make Maxi Sanchez laugh!

The Argentinian could have smiled, because this Thursday evening, the Spaniards were dominated by the former number 1 and his friend Lucho Capra, who find feelings, and who offer themselves a deserved quarter-final. Final score 6/3 6/4 for those who will find Lucas Bergamini / Victor Ruiz tomorrow.

The Hispano-Brazilian pair created another surprise this Thursday by dominating Fernando Belasteguin and Miguel Yanguas on almost the same score: 6/4 6/3! We will therefore be entitled tomorrow to a quarter-final between pairs 9 and 10 of the tournament. Who would've believed that !

Certainly not 92% of our readers, who saw a quarter between Bela/Yanguas and Lebron/Galan… And we're not going to lie to you, we also thought we were entitled to this match between favorites…
