But what are they doing here?  Franco Stupaczuk  et  Juan lebron  in this  P2 table of Cancun , boycotted by almost all players of the  world top 100  and a good part of the  top 200  ? This is the question that many people ask themselves.  Stupa (5th in the world)  et  Lebron (6th)  will be so  #1 seeded , while  seed n ° 2  will be composed of  Gustavo Nunes (114th)  et  Miguel Angel Solbes (79th) The gap is striking:  16 427 points  separate these two pairs.

Once again, a  P2 of Premier Padel  risk of getting people talking… and not necessarily in a good way. Especially since  Juan lebron , already criticized for his sometimes borderline behavior, risks finding himself under fire from critics. Why  Stupa and Lebron  have they decided to ignore the boycott of their colleagues? No doubt they will have to explain themselves.

A tournament without any real stakes?

Le  lack of interest  for the men's tournament is obvious. On paper,  Stupaczuk and Lebron  have already  won the competition  before even starting it. They will leave with  valuable points , while the majority of players decided not to participate.

The only  expected poster  is the one that will oppose  Stupa/Lebron  à  Tolito/Alfonso , a duel that should captivate spectators, especially at  Mexico Where  Tolito Aguirre , Argentine by birth, is considered “the most Mexican of Argentines.”

The French presence

On the French side, several pairs will try to  take advantage of the opportunity  offered by this very open tournament:

  •  Maxime Joris / Guillem Figuerola (17th position) , finalists of the  FIP GOLD Dubai 
  •  Julien Seurin  alongside a  quarter-finalist of P2 de Gijón: Philémon Raichman (22nd position) 
  •  Max Moreau / Kamel Moumen (25th position) 
  •  Jérôme Inzerillo / Adrien Maigret (36th position) 
  •  Simon Wagner and Thomas Vanbauce (37th position) , who had offered themselves a  Main table in Gijón 
  •  Nicolas Rouanet and Pierre Vincent (46th position) , who will try to collect points

A P2 which, despite its  limited casting , could offer a chance for lower-ranked players to score points on the circuit Premier Padel.
