It's no longer a secret to anyone: Thomas Leygue separated from his partner Miguel Gonzalez after two tournaments, following a bitter defeat in the first round of the NewGiza P2. The French number 1 and his partner part ways after a difficult defeat against Rubio / Lijo.
However, Thomas Leygue will not remain alone for long since his future teammate is already known and it will be the Spaniard Alvaro Montiel (now naturalized Italian).
We met this young padel hopeful during the FIP Rise Bandol last August, where he was partnered with the Italian Frame Cassetta. Both of them had won the tournament. facing two other young talents of this sport: Pol Hernandez et Ramiro Valenzuela. Alvaro Montiel spoke to the microphone of Padel Magazine about his story, his ambitions and his love for padel… a family story for the Montiels!
As a reminder, Alvaro Montiel is a young 19-year-old player, 107th in the world. This year he won two titles at the FIP Rise Betsson III and the FIP Rise Bandol. He also has four semi-finals in FIP Rise, as well asa lost final during the FIP Rise Rocks Lane.
We will find the Leygue / Montiel pair who will make their debut after 2024 World Cup in Qatar. Alvaro Montiel and Thomas Leygue are already registered for the Dubai P1 and in Kuwait P1.
It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
