Galán Padel: Who is this Boy destined to make HISTORY

Have you ever heard of Alejandro Galán padel? Also known by the abbreviation of Ale Galán or Alejandro Galán Romo.

No? Very strange as he is currently number 1 in the world, together with his playmate, that Juan Lebron which we talked about in this other article.

Well, if you don't know him or if you want to know more about this incredible player, you've come to the right place.

In this article, we'll dive into his exploits, why he's so strong, and every other detail you might want to know. Let's go!

Who is Ale Galán?

Alejandro Galán is a padel player born in Spain (in Madrid) in 1996 and, as you can easily see, he is very young.

He begins to give his first shots in this sport at the age of 4 and, in a very short time, he gets to play against kids even much older than him.

He made the leap to pro at the age of 18, starting to play on the pro circuit with somewhat fluctuating first results.

You could see the potential, but few notable accomplishments were collected, which is hardly surprising given that, more or less, all the greats have been there.

The turning point comes 3 years later, he is placed among the top 8 couples into the world with her partner, but that's just the beginning.

A couple of years later he takes the first successes with his partner of the time, or Mati Diaz. The first ever big win comes against one of the senators of the sport, namely Pablo Lima with his partner Juani Mieres.

But, the real turning point comes in 2020 when he changes his partner and starts playing with Juan Lebron.

From here on, the successes rained down with ben 37 wins out of a total of 42 matches only played in that calendar year.

A crazy figure that catapults him and Juan to number 1 in the WPT rankings, far ahead of its direct rivals.

From then on there was no story, with an even more victorious 2021 which matters 52 wins out of 64 matches and 7 wins in big tournaments.

To date, these two incredible players are once again dominating the leaderboard and it seems very difficult that anyone can unseat them.

Why Galán and Lebron dominate?

This couple is certainly not there by accident but there are a few factors that made them groundbreaking in a way.

The difference with all the others lies in the fact that play a much smoother padel, devoid of some of the more classical dogmas.

Above all the fact that the player on the right, the one who usually builds the point for the one on the left, is now unrelated to this purpose.

In this pair both build in alternating phases, with the point being able to be closed by either one.

This novelty might seem unimportant but, on balance, it is a small big revolution in the world of padel.

No one (at least intended as high-profile couples) had ever adopted this style, which suggests the future potential of this technique.

It is not at all difficult to think that, in a few years and with the new generations, climbing to professional levels of the WPT or the Premier Padel, there will be more and more such couples.

Conclusions

 This is all the main information about Alejandro Galán, the current number one in the world rankings of padel.

He and Lebron are destined to write many indelible pages of this sport, perhaps destroying previous records held by names like Lima or Belasteguin.

Of course, we cannot know what the future holds for him but, if you asked us today who we would bet on for the future, then these would be the two names that are certain.

They are young, very strong, have a technique that differentiates them from the others and they are breaking records, it is impossible not to imagine them as champions in the near future as well.
