Juan Lebron and Alejandro Galán will play as a pair again this Saturday to defend Spain in the World Cup final which is played in the luxurious facilities of the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex.
It was Spanish coach Juanjo Gutiérrez who announced the most anticipated return, confirming the three couples who will participate in the final against Argentina after denying it yesterday at a press conference.
The first point will measure Stupaczuk and Di Nenno with Arturo Coello and Coki Nietowhile the second will take place the expected duel with the return of the Spanish number one for three years. In the last game, the hypothetical third, they would play Tino Libaak and Léo Augsburger with a view to Mike Yanguas and Paquito Navarro.
SO, Lebron and Galán will face each other today in the second match from the grand final to Chingotto and Tapia. It should be remembered that the two padel players separated on March 25 after four years spent forming one of the most successful couples on the professional circuit. Together, they have won 38 titles, 32 on the World Padel Tour circuit and 6 in Premier Padel.

The last championship where Lebron and Galán formed a duo This took place in Acapulco, where they reached the final and lost in less than 50 minutes against Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia (6-0 and 6-4). It was their last match as a couple.
Galán ended up being very angry with his teammate after the defeat, after seeing his attitude on the field when the Andalusian duo requested a review due to a possible lack of service from Juan LeBron. The request greatly disturbed the player from Puerto de Santa María and this generated a fight between the three players.
After this tournament organized in Mexico, Galán decided to join the Argentine Fede Chingottowhile Lebron chose to partner with Paquito Navarro and then join Martín di Nenno last August.
