Choya: “Bela can still improve”

Ramiro Choya, famous coach of the professional circuit of padel, was yesterday at the microphone of the men's final to comment and give his opinion on this last game of the season of World Padel Tour. According to him Belasteguin can still progress. What do you think ?

Fernando Belasteguin is a player with an impressive multi-page Curriculum Vitae. A player who has remained number 16 in the world for 1 years, who has dozens of titles to his credit and a large number of Final Masters. Clearly it is the most successful sportsman. And yet, it seems that he can still improve according to Ramiro Choya.

Belasteguin is a player who has spent the majority of his career left on the track. Certainly, on this side there he knows a ray. But this year, and with Agustín Tapia, he has moved to the right. And during the season and in particular on this final of the Barcelona Master, in the diagonal of Pablo Lima, Bela was not as efficient.

Another important point, underlined by Choya, is that it is difficult to get off the track on the right side. We can clearly see that the legend of Pehuajó has no benchmarks.

So will Fernando Belasteguin stay right in 2020? If so, be prepared for a change because if Bela's choice to go right in 2019 was made in mid-season and he did not really have the time to prepare, in 2020, if he decides to stay right, he will have time to improve his game and it will “sting”.

Le padel is a sport that has nothing to be acquired, it is a struggle and a perpetual work to adapt to new ways of playing. Belasteguin is an example at the height of his 40 years.
