# Leo Augsburger: after Brussels, a return winner where it all began

> A week earlier, Leo Augsburger lifted the Brussels P2 trophy with Juan Lebrón, after knocking off the best pairs on the circuit. A few days later, the Argentine was back in Posadas, far from the floodlights, to play again with his childhood friend Renzo Beccaluva. An unexpected detour, but a breakthrough for a player who moves forward without slicing the link with his roots.

## From Brussels to Posadas, a visible return to our roots

A few days after winning the [Brussels Premier Padel P2](https://actu-padel.com/en/lebron-and-augsburger-win-at-brussels-p2-leos-tears-after-the-title/) with Juan Lebrón, Leo Augsburger chose a scenario far removed from the automatisms of the very highest level: return to Posadas, in the province of Misiones, and play again with Renzo Beccaluva, his childhood friend. In other words, **Leo Augsburger returns to his padel roots after Brussels**, at the best moment of his season.

In Brussels, Augsburger and Lebrón clinched their first title together by upsetting Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia in the final, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3, having already ousted Federico Chingotto and Alejandro Galán in the semifinals. For a pair that is still young, this trophy changes the picture: they are no longer just dangerous in a few sequences, they become a real threat in high-pressure matches.

The symbolism is all the stronger for the fact that Leo Augsburger is no ordinary player. At the age of 21, the Argentine left-side player, already locked in by [Siux until 2040](https://actu-padel.com/en/leo-augsburger-contracts-extension-with-siux-until-2040-a-padel-record/), doors an image of raw power, but also an emotional trajectory closely linked to his environment. His size, 1.90 m according to his [official FIP profile](https://www.padelfip.com/player/leandro-augsburger/), partly explains his impact on the smash, but his current evolution is also due to better management of dips.

## In Posadas, a local tournament becomes an event

From May 1 to 3, Augsburger took part in the Elevia Padel Tour at the Padel House complex in Posadas, alongside Beccaluva. The setting was obviously very different from the Gare Maritime in Tour & Taxis: less international protocol, but total proximity to the public, friends and family and the **regional padel** scene where he grew up.

The parenthesis was not taken lightly. According to [Misiones Online](https://misionesonline.net/2026/05/03/leo-augsburger-y-beccaluva-3/), Augsburger and Beccaluva defeated Felipe Cardozo and Santino Poniatychyn in the Primera final, 6-3, 6-2. The local media also reports a strong turnout, with over 1,200 entries sold and a transmission exceeding 20,000 views, proof that the presence of the champion gave the tournament another dimension.

Why is this choice so intriguing? Because it’s a reminder that a player who has settled into the elite can still nurture grassroots padel. His presence attracts, inspires and exposes young players to an intensity rarely seen outside the professional circuit: heavy smashes, taking the net, compact defense and managing hot moments.

## A breath of fresh air before the South American tour

This sequence comes just before an important period in the calendar. The [official Premier Padel calendar](https://www.padelfip.com/calendar-premier-padel/) strings together the Asuncion P2, followed by the Buenos Aires P1. For Augsburger and Lebrón, the stakes are clear: confirm that Brussels was not an isolated peak, but the start of a dynamic capable of upsetting the two dominant pairs on the circuit.

With this in mind, Posadas served as a mental recharge as much as a tempo maintainer. Between the champion capable of toppling the world No.1s and the player who returns to share the ring with a childhood friend, there is no break, just continuity. Augsburger won in Brussels, then he won at home: two incomparable scenes, but the same desire to build his season without forgetting where he came from.
