A new chapter begins for  Leo Augsburg The Argentinian player will no longer be represented by  Lisandro Borges  and his agency  The Player Padel Agency After nearly five years of collaboration, the two men announced their separation on social media, with messages that differed in tone but conveyed the same idea: their shared adventure was coming to an end.

Augsburger released a video full of gratitude, emphasizing the journey they had shared with the man who had been with them since the beginning. Borges, for his part, published a lengthy statement explaining his decision to retire.

A collaboration that marked Augsburger's career

When their relationship begins,  Leo Augsburg  is still a promising talent in Argentinian padel. Five years later, he has become one of the most important players on the circuit.  Premier Padel , with much greater media exposure and a status that has completely changed.

In his message, Augsburger made a point of thanking Borges for the work done:

“We are finishing a five or six-year chapter where we shared many wonderful things, but also some more complicated moments. I never stopped to listen to people who spoke ill of you without knowing you. I knew who you were.”

The player also acknowledges the importance of the work done around his career:

“We are both happy with what we have done together, with what you have worked for me and with the efforts I have made to have a good contract and good sponsors today.”

Borges describes a complicated environment

In his statement,  Lisandro Borges  He explains that he decided to "take a step back." He says he remains proud of his time with Augsburger, but also suggests that the separation is linked to disagreements surrounding the player's current entourage.

“I am not willing to stand by and watch as a player in whom I have invested time, effort, devotion and affection can be conditioned by an environment that I consider complex and detrimental to his development.”

It's hard not to think about the surrounding context  Juan Lebrón , Augsburger's current partner. Borges never really hid his tensions with the Spaniard, and his public criticisms after several defeats regularly put Augsburger in a difficult position.

After the elimination in the quarter-finals of  Bordeaux P2 Borges had once again criticized Lebrón and his entourage's attitude, explaining that it was difficult to win with someone who constantly generated conflict. This outburst inevitably strained an already fragile relationship.

Augsburger opens a new stage

Despite the separation, Augsburger wanted to maintain a conciliatory tone. He acknowledges that the relationship was no longer exactly the same as at the beginning, when everything was built from Buenos Aires, but he insists on the respect and connection that remained with Borges.

“It won’t be the same anymore, but I think we’ve silenced a lot of people together.”

The player also lets time decide:

“Days and years will pass, and then we will know whether it was a good decision or not.”

now  Leo Augsburg  opens a new stage, with  Íñigo Colomina ,  Siux , to support him in the next stage of his career. An important transition for a player who still needs to find his footing, especially alongside  Juan Lebrón .

This separation brings to an end one of the most talked-about relationships in recent padel history. A collaboration marked by progress, lucrative contracts, but also recurring controversies. It remains to be seen whether this change will allow Augsburger to find greater stability and reach the next level on the circuit.

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 !
