Alejandro Lasaigues

Alejandro Lasaigues is a retired professional padel player from Buenos Aires, considered by many one of the best players in the history of the sport. He is the only player recognised as world number one with three different partners: Horacio Álvarez Clementi in 1988, 1989 and 1990, Roberto Gattiker from 1992 to 1996, and Hernán Auguste in 1997. With Gattiker he formed one of the best pairs ever. He played tennis as a junior in Europe and the United States and started on the Argentine circuit in 1987, the year the Argentine padel association was created, with Álvarez Clementi as his first partner.
