Le padel transfer market enters a volatile situation. For the past few days, rumors have been swirling, and one idea is gaining increasing traction: the return of the duo Franco Stupaczuk / Martín Di Nenno, aka the Superpibes 2.0.

Since their split midway through last season, the two Argentinians have never truly recaptured their former glory. Both Stupa and Di Nenno have tried new projects, but without managing to rediscover the same chemistry or consistency. Together, they had won 7 tracks, embodying one of the most complementary duos on the circuit.

Lebrón / Stupa: an imminent end to the story?

At the heart of these rumors, another one is shaking the padel world: that of a separation between Juan Lebrón and Franco StupaczukThe association, which had started under auspicious circumstances, is now turning sour.
Tensions are palpable on the bench: gestures of annoyance, strained exchanges, dark looks… Early elimination in Round of 16 of the Newgiza P2 This only served to heighten doubts about their future together.

At the same time, Leo Augsburger He made no secret of his desire to play with Lebrón. The young Argentinian recently confided that he “would love to play with LeBron", an option that was already on the table before Lebrón ultimately chose Stupaczuk.

If this new association were to be confirmed, it would inevitably trigger a domino effect on the rest of the circuit.

Augsburger opens the door to a future association with Lebrón: “Obviously, I would like to play with him”

Stupa and Di Nenno, a logical and strong choice

If you have a duo Lebrón / AugsburgerStupaczuk and Di Nenno would find themselves without a fixed partner. And from an accounting perspective, their meeting would make perfect senseWith Stupa (world No. 5) and Di Nenno, they would form a pair ranked among the top four seeds, a considerable strategic advantage in increasingly complex tables.

Especially since both players, separately, are struggling to shine:

  • Martín Di Nenno won only two titles (one with Lebrón, one with Augsburger).
  • Franco StupaczukFor his part, he only lifted one trophy, at Cancún, during the boycott by the main players.

Respectable results, but far from the consistency and strength they displayed together in 2023.

Other options exist… but the preference is for a meeting

Of course, the transfer market remains open and several hypotheses are circulating:

  • Stupa / Cardona
  • Stupa / Sanz
  • Di Nenno / Leal
  • Or even a Di Nenno/Tello returns

But one thing is certain: The most coherent choice, both from a sporting and strategic point of view, remains the return of the SuperpibesTheir compatibility on the field, their natural rapport and their shared experience make them a solid option for 2026.

So, is it just a rumor or a real comeback?
The coming weeks will tell us if world padel is about to experience a revival. the Stupaczuk / Di Nenno duo, for a version Superpibes 2.0 that many would like to see again.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
