Franco Stupaczuk and Juan Lebron defeated Alejandro Galan and Federico Chingotto 6–7, 6–4, 7–6 in an intense semifinal match at the Valladolid Premier Padel P2, securing their spot in the final following almost three hours of intense action.
Played beneath Plaza Mayor’s majestic arches, the match had everything fans could want: daring volleys, lightning-fast reflexes, and unrelenting baseline duels. In a tight tiebreak, Galan and Chingotto, the No. 2 seeds, won the first set, displaying their signature precision and connection.
Unfazed by the early loss, however, Stupaczuk and Lebron stormed back in the second set. They leveled the match thanks to Lebron’s aggressive net play and Stupaczuk’s reliable back-of-court performance, breaking serve at a pivotal point to win 6–4.
Both partners refused to give in during the tumultuous last set. The crowd was tense throughout the final-set tiebreak as each held serve under duress. Stupa and Lebron ultimately maintained composure, capping the victory with a masterfully performed overhead slam that drove their fans into a frenzy.
In addition to exacting revenge for earlier season defeats to Galan and Chingotto, their triumph was a major boost to their title challenge. They are a powerful force to watch as they enter the final because of their momentum and tenacity.
