The Spanish player, Juan LeBron, ends his season with yet another defeat against the bad boys and world number ones, Coello/Tapia. We will not return to this match, as the difference in level was so obvious. No need to elaborate either Di Nennoliterally surpassed in its diagonal by a too punchy Coello, even on a slow track.
What is of interest here is the contribution of Lebron left since his return to this post. And it must be said: if he can thank Di Nenno for having given him confidence, the Spanish player fishing in many areas leftas shown by this Barcelone Finals. Severe observation?
A worrying irregularity
First of all, its irregularity. How hard it must be for a partner to wonder what version of Lebron he will find himself on the ground. And often, it's not just one version per match, but several! During the quarter-final of the Finals, he benefited from a Di Nenno exemplary and particularly impactful. But on the track, Lebron may have been worst playerdespite the victory. And this is not the first time that his Argentinian partner has saved the day.
Offensively behind
Another weak point concerns its phases offensives : too irregular, and especially without the impact of the best. Lebron n'est ni Galan, ni Tapia. Perhaps this period on the left has allowed him to realize that he is no longer as incisive in this role as he can be on the right. And this is perhaps the great lesson of 2024 for the Spaniard: playing on the left is good, but on the right he can become the best player in the world. He has already proven it in the past… Certainly, with Galan, but Juan Lebron remains one of the players the most talented of his generationOtherwise the most gifted.
What about 2025?
We now know, Lebron/Di Nenno, it's over. The Spaniard spilled the beans at a press conference two days ago. So the question is: which partner for 2025? For several weeks, rumors have brought him closer to the Argentinian Leo Augsburgera left-wing player known for his power. However, Augsburger also has a reputation forirregularity. In the world of padel, everything goes very quickly: we now know that Yanguas and Stupa will no longer play together in 2025. Their premature defeat at the Master Finals against Edu et Momo seems to seal this separation.
A promising association with Stupa?
For Lebron, this situation could be an opportunity to bounce back with the former pair of Di Nenno, Stupa. With him, Lebron would come back righta position where he is capable to excel. For his part, moving from Yanguas to Lebron could be a good operation for Stupa, if el lobo (Lebron's nickname) manages to offer his best version. Lebron is a player offensive on the rightwhile Stupa is not known to be very aggressive on the left. This complementarity could work, provided that Lebron regains his consistency and his legendary explosiveness. For the moment, nothing official, but the post-Master Finals transfer window could well confirm this promising association for 2025.
