Jostled by Alex Ruiz and Franco Stupaczuk, Ale Galan and Juan Lebron released a great performance to enter the last four of the WPT Barcelona Master.

We expected a lot from this meeting between the last two sacred pairs on the World Padel Tour. The least we can say is that we were not disappointed!

Both teams played at a very high level and gave us an exceptional show. The spectators present at the Palau Sant Jordi were able to witness what one could call “padel total". Extended points, cascading winning shots, exceptional defenses, overpowering smashes, suspense: all the ingredients for a real show!

As you can see just below, Ruiz and Stupa will have delivered a performance very close to that of the number 1s and it is the management of the important moments that will have allowed Lebron and Galan to come out of it. Indeed, Stupa and Ruiz will never have succeeded in taking the service of their opponents despite 9 break points! 7 “puntos de oro” for the Spaniards against only 2 for Carlos Pozzoni's players, that's where the difference was made.

For those who questioned the cohesion of the Lebron / Galan pair, tonight the two men have shown that they are capable of suffering as a team. They came by playing their best padel to dominate a pair which also delivered a very high level performance.

Very good omen before the new shock that awaits them tomorrow, against Chingotto / Tello, who only needed two sets to rule out Jesus Moya and Francisco Gil: 6/1 6/4!

The other semi-final will pit Di Nenno / Navarro against Belluati / Garrido.
