To the Allianz Cloud audience it will be strange not to see them in the same half of the court, but on Sunday in the final of the Milano Premier Padel P1 there will only be place for one of the champions of the first two editions of the tournament. Juan Lebron versus Ale Galan, two players who together have written the history of padel once again opponents, as in the semi-finals of the P2 in Genova and the Major in Paris (with two wins for Galan). “You again”: yes, them again, after starting the season together, after they had separated, faced each other as opponents and then reunited for “El Regreso” in the final of the FIP World Padel Championships in Doha lost by Spain to Argentina. Lebron and Martin Di Nenno against Galan and Fede Chingotto: up for grabs, in the second semi-final of the evening session starting not before 6 p.m., will be the challenge against Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia or against Momo Gonzalez and Edu Alonso, protagonists of the semifinal at the top of the draw.
The quarter-final between Di Nenno and Lebron and the pair formed by Coki Nieto and Jon Sanz ended when the score was 6-1 4-1 in favour of the number 3 seed: an ankle problem forced Sanz to retire, but still allowed a small fan with a wolf mask on his head to go to ‘Lobo’ Lebron for a souvenir photo. A physical problem also made Javi Garrido’s evening difficult. He was defeated in a pair with Lucas Bergamini by Fede Chingotto and Ale Galan who, after two ko in the semi-finals against Franco Stupaczuk and Mike Yanguas in Kuwait City and Acapulco, with 6-4 6-0 in the quarters will now try to return to the final. Bergamini will however console himself with an entry into the Premier Padel Finals in Barcelona.
