Juan Lebrón  et  Franco Stupaczuk  withdrew from the  Brussels P2 , raising many questions in the world of padel. A decision taken  to everyone's surprise , which could well announce the  end of their association . However, the two players could still  re-register separately by next Friday at 17 p.m. , deadline for registrations. The question now is:  Who will they play with? 

Lebrón – Ruiz, a new association in sight?

Concerning  Juan Lebrón , his future seems clearer. The Andalusian player is announced  alongside Alex Ruiz , a partner he knows well. But this new agreement raises another question:  what will become of Alex Chozas then? , Ruiz's official partner so far?

The young Argentinian  Alex Chozas  still seems a notch below the required level on the right, especially since he had started the season  to the left , and that his move to the right last year with  Leo Augsburg  had not convinced.

Stupa – Chozas, a hypothesis… favorable to Siux ?

On the side of  Franco Stupaczuk ,  no official information  does not yet allow us to know the identity of his possible new teammate. One possibility could be to see him  associate with Chozas , if Ruiz engages well with Lebrón.

On the other hand, for the  trademark Siux , this scenario would be a  nice shot , since  both players are part of the brand's fold . Behind the scenes, it is not impossible that  Siux push for a temporary association between these two ambassadors , thus constituting a  100% pair Siux  on the circuit.

It remains to be seen if  Stupa , currently  5rd player in the world , will agree to engage with  a player ranked 25th , which would imply  lose places  in the pairwise classification and  drop out of the top 3 pairs , a status he had maintained until now alongside Juan Lebrón.

A wait that remains whole

For the moment,  the only public element  stay on  official withdrawal of the inscription of Stupa and Lebrón  at the Belgian tournament. As for the precise reasons for this decision,  no statement has been made yet  by the main interested parties.

 Case to follow.
