It's now official, Fernando Belasteguin, is no longer part of the Top 16 of the FIP ranking, which deprives him of qualification for the Final Master from Barcelona. With the rise of Alejandro Ruiz, who made it to the quarter-finals Dubai Premier Padel P1, unlike Belasteguin, eliminated in the round of 16. Ruiz now has 2914 points, while Bela has 2746.

Belasteguin, who was already in a precarious position, needed a solid performance at the end of the season to keep his place. But the 40 points he won in Dubai were not enough against Ruiz's 180 points, which allowed him to overtake the Argentine.

This blow marks a turning point in the career of White, who had announced his retirement for the end of the season. Not seeing him conclude his career at the Master Final in Barcelona will be a disappointment for padel fans, as he has made history in the sport. For “El Boss”, this end of the season is taking an unexpected turn, leaving fans waiting for his next results. To hope to regain his place in the Top 16 and get his ticket to the Master Final, Belasteguin will have to perform better in the next tournaments alongside the young Argentinian Tino Libaak., especially in Kuwait Premier Padel P1 visit us at the Mexico Major and Milan Premier Padel P1 and at the same time hope for less good performances from Alex Ruiz.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
