Key Takeaways

- Lebron initially named Fede Chingotto and Paquito Navarro, but ultimately picked partner Leo Augsburger ahead of Agustin Tapia, Arturo Coello, and Ale Galan.
- Their respective national team call-ups mean they could meet on opposite sides in a Spain-Argentina contest.
Unexpected choice at Babolat collection launch
The question of who belongs at the top of padel is frequently discussed among fans, and the opinions of leading professionals add another dimension to the debate. Juan Lebron delivered a notable answer while presenting his new Babolat 2027 collection.
Asked on ‘vaya globo’ to rank his leading players on the 20×10 court, the drive player first selected Fede Chingotto and then Paquito Navarro, even putting Navarro ahead of himself. For his final pick, however, the man known as ‘the Wolf’ overlooked Agustin Tapia, Arturo Coello, and former partner Ale Galan, instead choosing current teammate Leo Augsburger.
Backing for the Spanish-Argentine partnership
By choosing Augsburger, Lebron gave his partnership with the young player a significant endorsement. Although the remarks were made casually, the selection underlines his belief in their Spanish-Argentine project as the pair seek further progress and their best shared level.
Their relationship could soon take on a different dimension in international competition. Lebron has been selected by Spain and Augsburger by Argentina, raising the possibility that the teammates could face each other in a decisive point during an expected final between the 2 padel powerhouses.
