Fernando Belasteguin, the world number of padel for over 15 years, is certainly the greatest champion in the history of padel.

Yet since 5 years, Bela has bad luck. While he is like in every tournament and even more during a Master, the grandissime favorite of the competition (with his partner Pablo Lima and at the time Jean Martin Diaz), impossible for him to defend his chances to the loyal for several years.

Blame his partners who are either hurt or sick.

We recall…

  • 2012: Victory of Mieres / Lima. At the time, it was the Master of Padel ProTour.
  • 2013: Victory in 3 sets of Sanchez / Sanyo face JMD / Bela
  • 2014: Victory in 3 sets of Sanchez / Sanyo face JMD / Bela
  • 2015: Victory in 3 sets of Sanchez / JMD face Grabiel / Moyano (Lime hurts the elbow)
  • 2016: Victory of Sanyo / Paquita vis-a-vis Lamperti / Mieres (Lima gives up after the phases of chickens because of an infection of the kidneys)

Come on, is this the right year? Because since the era of World Padel Tour Bela has never won a Masters.

Note in passing that the pair Grabiel / Cepera plays together for the first time in 2017 during the Masters ...

The spell goes on! The furious public growls!

This year what can happen to him?

It is rather well launched to win this Master. He arrives once again in the position of favorites with his partner Pablo Lima. it is the 1 number worldwide for the 16th consecutive year.

Same "Féderer can go get dressed”Indicates the President of Padel Lyon Club, Jerome Becasset.

But the season is long with physical glitches that have not spared our world numbers.
