Padel rivals Alejandro Galán and Leo Augsburger to team up in surprise tournament pairing
Alejandro Galán and Leo Augsburger, who recently traded remarks in the media, will now play together at the Resberry Cup. The unusual pairing was described as a surprise in the padel world, as two players who had been rivals will have to put their differences aside.
The tournament will be held from June 18 to 20. One of the two will also need to adjust to playing on the right side in the drive position, adding another challenge to the new partnership.
To win the title, Galán and Augsburger would likely have to get past Arturo Coello, the world No. 1, who is paired with Coki Nieto. The setup has drawn attention because of both the fresh alliance and the strength of the opposition.
