Lebron and Galan, already number one on the circuit, beat the Argentine tandem Chingotto / Tello (6-3 4-6 6-4) and celebrate the title by throwing themselves on the ground with their hands on their faces. A dream come true. After all, they had reiterated it over and over again throughout the week: “We want to win on Nadal’s field”. So it was. And next to the name of the Spanish tennis player, 14 times champion in France, there will also be that of two guys with golden arms and good eyes. Two months ago, beating anyone around Spain, they dreamed of playing in stadiums like this. There where Nadal has built the legend of him with powerful blows and hair ties. And where today, next to the Grand Public entrance, there is also his steel statue. Galan and Lebron never looked at it out of luck.

The dream of the two Spaniards comes true on a blue field, set up above the red that the stadium imposes. The two arrive in the press room with the towel around their neck and the trophy in their hands, a thirty-centimeter marble racket with a golden grip. Mandatory question about celebrations. The two look at each other, smile and dribble. “The important thing was to win again”. Galan promised a beautiful romantic dinner to his girlfriend, today in the stands like the whole family of the two, one from Madrid and the other from Puerto de Santa Maria, an Andalusian city after the Pillars of Hercules. The key word is ‘history’: “We are so happy that we do not realize what has happened, we need a few weeks to understand it”. Galan, excited, can’t help but cry. The voice trembles, it takes a couple of seconds, then resumes, apologizing: “I’ve been playing padel all my life. This tournament is for my family, for Juan, for the staff, for all those who believed in it from the first day. After the last point I fell to the ground to release the adrenaline, it was a dream “. Made by imitating Nadal. At his house.
