World's best pair back as winners in Portugal

You could see it from the very beginning of the tournament. Juan Lebron and Alejandro Galan wanted to silence their doubters and stand as winners in the Cascais Masters. 

In the final, they beat Juan Tello and Federico Chingotto in an incredibly close and watchable match where their opponents started the best and won the first set 6-4. Then Juan Lebron and Alejandro Galan came into the match, and after 7-5 in the second set, they showed the best nerves in the third deciding set in which they won 6-3.

Juan Tello, who dominated his duel with Alejandro Galan in the first set, had a tough time in the third set, which Juan Lebron and Alejandro Galan used well as the seasoned final pair they are. 

The world's best pair has been in question lately, and there have even been rumors that the pair is about to split. After a couple of poor performances, with the Malaga Open being the biggest disappointment, where the pair was knocked out in the round of 16.  

But with this victory, some critics have been silenced. The title in Cascais means the team's second Masters title out of a possible three, and in total, the team has four titles this season. 

The title was long-awaited, and in fact, before this tournament, the pair had not won since the Marbella Masters in June. 

For Federico Chingotto and Juan Tello, the loss in the final is their second of the season. They also lost in the final of the Valladolid Masters to Lucho Capra and Maxi Sanchez. 

But the team has a chance for revenge next week when the World Padel Tour comes to Italy and the Sardegna Open. 

The playing schedule is tight in September, with four tournaments, two Opens, and two Masters.
