First seeds eliminated — Capra and Sánchez advance

Juan Lebrón and Ale Galán, the number ones in the rankings, are having a tough time on the court. In the round of 16 of the Madrid P1, the opponents were too much for the Spaniards.

Last week, during the Premier Padel Major in Rome, Juan Lebrón made his comeback to the courts after a seven-week absence. But in the quarterfinals, Belasteguín and Yanguas eliminated him from the tournament.

Lebrón and Galán stepped onto the Madrid Premier Padel court on Tuesday. Their debut match was a tough battle that the pair managed to win after an exciting three-set encounter. Juan Lebrón commented after the match that he's going through a rough patch:

"I have to admit that I'm not going through my best moment and it's been very tough for me. It's been really challenging," said Lebrón with tears in his eyes as the Madrid crowd applauded.

Today, they faced Lucho Capra and Maxi Sánchez in the round of 16. The Argentinians displayed skillful play during the match while Lebrón and Galán struggled on the court.

In the first set, the Argentinians got a break to take a 4-2 lead on the scoreboard, eventually winning the set 6-3. In the second set, Capra and Sánchez started with a break up, but the Spaniards leveled the score at 4-4.

The Argentinians fought hard and regained the advantage to close out the match with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
