Leo Augsburger, one of the Premier Padel Tour’s most promising young players, and Juan Lebron, a Cadiz native, have officially announced their union. The announcement was made shortly before the Mexico Major, a competition that would change the men’s rankings due to the split of two important pairs: Franco Stupaczuk and Lebron, and Stupaczuk’s new partnership with Martin di Nenno.
Agustin Gomez Silingo’s role
Agustin Gomez Silingo, a former professional who has previously worked with Lebron, will serve as the new team’s mentor. His participation is anticipated to be crucial as the two strive to win back titles and contend for the top rank in the globe, which Lebron hasn’t accomplished since splitting from Ale Galan.
The respect Lebron has for Augsburger
Lebron expressed his excitement about the partnership and praised his new teammate: “Very happy to be by his side, he has many good qualities and tremendous potential. In an interview with Jugones, the El Puerto de Santa Maria player stated, “We are excited to showcase our abilities; our aim is to be the best.”
The ambition of Augsburger
This is a rare chance for Augsburger to demonstrate his abilities to the fullest. He highlighted his respect for Lebron’s career: “I used to watch him on TV, he was number one for a long time and I want to learn from that and see what I can do to help Juanito also become number one,” stated the Argentine.
Difficulties to come
Lebron is pushed out of the Top-4 by the union, therefore their immediate goal is to regain that ranking in order to avoid playing the best couples prior to the semifinals. While the timing of the change, with only two events left in the season, may not be ideal, it offers them a chance to identify mistakes and successes before fully committing to the next season.
A collaboration based on aspiration
Both players have made it clear that their collaboration is driven by ambition and the desire to reach the pinnacle of padel. With the guidance of Gomez Silingo and the combination of Lebron’s experience and Augsburger’s youthful energy, the new pair is determined to challenge the established duos and aim for the top ranking in the coming year.
