Two days ago, the Round of 16 of the second Premier Padel tournament of the year was decided. Javi Garrido and Mike Yanguas performed well, defeating world number ones Juan Lebron and Ale Galan.

However, during the match there was an incident where there was a tense atmosphere off the court. According to Padel Alto sources, Juan Lebron sent a ball after a lost game that almost hit Mike Yanguas.

The broadcast shows Yanguas coach Juan Mieres running towards the referee after the incident. The game was paused for a few minutes as an upset atmosphere occurred off the court. The game then resumed.

Now Juan Lebron apologises for the incident:

"I want to apologise for what happened yesterday in the game against Mike and Javi. These are things that should not happen in a padel match", he wrote on Instagram yesterday.

Today, Javi Garrido and Mike Yanguas will play Franco Stupaczuk and Martin Di Nenno in the semi-finals.
