Biography
As has been expressed many times, the player has had a padel racket in his hand practically all his life. His passion for padel began when he was very young, specifically in the urbanization where he lived with his parents. However, it was not until he was 7 years old that he began to teach, which led him to play in tournaments in the Junior Circuit.
The player has always expressed that he comes from a very humble family and how difficult it has been to get to the place where he is right now. At the beginning he could only train once a week, which led him to start competing in the Benjamin category where he obtained very good results, which led him to continue climbing positions.
After playing in this category, he receives very good news, he is awarded a scholarship which allows him to train more continuously and therefore improve. This leads him to become one of the best in the minor category.
Although he starts very young, but it is not until 2016 at the age of 20 that he begins to really stand out in the professional categories.

This same year he began to play with Juan Cruz Belluati , together they managed to reach position number 6 in the couples ranking, however, and despite the success they achieved together, they separated after a year.
His next partner would be Matias Diaz with whom he would only last a year but together they would manage to position themselves as one of the best couples on the entire circuit after winning two titles together. One of them would be the Valladolid Open where they competed against Maxi Sánchez and Sanyo Gutiérrez, managing to take home their first World Padel Tour title.
Later he would go on to play with Juani Mieres and Pablo Lima , with whom he managed to win the Buenos Aires Padel Master in Argentina.

The next couple and the current serious Juan Lebrón, together they managed to position themselves as the number one couple of the entire World Padel Tour.
Ale Galán number one in the World Padel Tour
His number one begins with his current partner, Juan Lebrón, whom he already knew from his beginnings in padel.
In their first year, 20220 managed to reach 8 finals, in which they were proclaimed champions 6 times, incredible results.
The following year is another very good one for the couple, since they manage to match the level of the previous year, taking home 7 victories. One of them was the Cascais Padel Master 2021 in which they managed to beat Fede Chingotto and Juan Tello. The last victory of that year would be in the Estrella Damm Master Final 2021, winning against Agustín Tapia and Carlos Gutiérrez with 31,400 points.
For 2022, the couple that is the favorite of many seems that they will not lower their level, since so far this year they have already managed to accumulate two victories, the most recent is the Cervezas Victoria Marbella Master 2022 where they beat Jerónimo Luque and Alejandro Ruiz. At the beginning of the year he also had the opportunity to play the first Qatar Padel Major, this time reaching the semifinals. And the last title that is the Italy Major Premier padel of Italy.
