After creating one of the biggest surprises of the first round, Thomas Leygue et Clement Geens will face a huge challenge this Wednesday at London P1 . Tombers of Alvaro Cepero et Agustin Torre at the end of a huge battle ( 3/6 6/3 6/4 ), the Frenchman and the Belgian will now face the seeded 3 , Juan Lebrón et Leo Augsburg .
The meeting is scheduled for third rotation at 16:30 am on the center court and will be available to watch live on the YouTube channel Premier Padel .
A benchmark victory to kick off their tournament
Leygue and Geens arrive with maximum confidence.
On Tuesday, they achieved one of the best performances of their season by eliminating a pair made up of two players from the Top 70 worldwide Trailing after losing the first set, they managed to raise their level of play to turn the situation around and secure a victory that confirms the very good momentum of the Frenchman since his return from injury.
This qualification now allows them to play a prestigious round of 16 match without any pressure.
A behemoth opposite
But this time, the mountain will be even higher.
Opposite will stand Juan Lebrón et Leo Augsburg , currently one of the most formidable pairs on the circuit. Already crowned champions at Brussels P2 This season, the Spaniard and the Argentinian also played in several finals of Premier Padel , establishing itself as the third world pair .
With the power of Augsburger and all the experience of Lebrón, former world number one, they will logically start as favorites.
An opportunity to enjoy
On paper, Leygue and Geens have nothing to lose.
The Franco-Belgian duo will be able to draw on the confidence gained from their first-round upset to try and upset the favorites. Against a pair of this caliber, the main objective will be to play freely, take risks, and seize every opportunity.
Especially since Lebrón and Augsburger are not approaching this match in the best of shape. Both men are coming off a premature elimination in Pretoria P1 , a result that forces them to quickly regain confidence and revive their momentum.
A feat worth striving for
The gap in the standings remains significant, but Leygue and Geens have already proven that they are capable of defying expectations.
Having defeated Cepero and Torre, they will now attempt an even more resounding feat against one of the best pairs in the world. A huge challenge, but also a fantastic opportunity to gauge the progress made by the Franco-Belgian duo since the start of the London week.
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 !
