For the first time in six years of participation in World Padel Tour, Miguel Lamperti did not played a single semi-final tournament in 2019. Despite an encouraging start to the season with Lucho Capra, the two Argentines separated in mid-season. Miguel then returned with his former partner Juani Mieres, who was injured in their first tournament, which weighed on the pair.
In the end, a very complicated year for “Miguelito”, during which he played with 3 different partners, and will not have done better than six quarter-finals. Above all, his end of the season, alongside Maxi Grabiel, will have been catastrophic for a player of this level, with 3 eliminations in the first round on 3 tournaments. Its current 23rd place in the WPT ranking is very far from the standards to which it has accustomed us.
The 42-year-old player, who was already very fit at the Mapei Cup, will therefore have at heart redeem itself in 2020. For this, he can count on a revenge partner in the person of Lucas Bergamini. The 23 year old Brazilian, number 27 at the WPT, who split from Lucas Campagnolo in mid-season, also had a halftone end of season, alongside Aday Santana. Hopefully for Miguel that Lucas, a physical and catchy player, will be as successful as in 2018 alongside his compatriot Campagnolo.
A bit like for Cristian Gutierrez, 2020 will be a key year for Miguel Lamperti, a spectacular player and charismatic, which we would like to review at the highest level. We told you recently, the fight for the Final Master will be fierce this season !
