WPT Menorca Open – When Lebron acts as the police and takes out a spectator

We cannot say that the Menorca tournament was marked by a large influx of spectators throughout the week. And yet, during the final between Lebron/Galan and Coello/Tapia, El Lobo had a minor dispute with a member of the public.

On a serve from Juan LeBron, we hear this spectator repeatedly call the ball foul. Even when Juan Lebron discusses with Agustin Tapia, the incongruous repeats that the ball comes out, that it is “clearly fault".

This is too much for Juan LeBron who decides to approach the referee:

“He’s been bothering me for a while, can you get him out of here?”

Finally, Lebron points to the man in question who is accompanied towards the exit. This small momentary interruption will have had no impact on the match between Lebron and Galan, who won 6/3 6/2 against Tapia/Coello.

This is not the first time that we have witnessed this type of scene this year on the World Padel Tour. In Marbella, Paquito Navarro got angry because of a spectator and had also asked the referee to intervene.
