Two years ago, Fernando Belasteguín won his last title at the Mexico Major, in duet with Arturo Coello. This tournament remains historic, because it is the only Major of Premier Padel that Bela has won during his career.

The final was between Belasteguin / Coello à Agustín Tapia / Sanyo GutiérrezAt the time, Bela and Coello won in three sets. 6/3 3/6 6/3This symbolic moment perhaps marked, without knowing it, Bela's last title on the professional circuit.

The triumph illustrated both Belasteguín's resilience and adaptability in the face of a new generation of players, while highlighting the potential ofArturo Coello, now world number 1.

This week the Mexico Major comes back, and Fernando Belasteguín will once again be on the track, this time alongside Tino Libaak. However, the context is very different. At 45 years old and outside the world top 16, Bela enters this tournament with limited chances of triumphing again.

His recent performances do not speak in his favour, with eliminations in the last 16 and 8 of the finals in the last tournaments. In addition, the competition is fierce, the world numbers 1 Tapia and Coello, former partners of Bela, remain on an impressive series of 7 consecutive titles. In addition, many players are fighting to secure crucial points in order to qualify for the Final Master, a goal now out of reach for Belasteguín.

Although the challenge is immense, seeing Fernando Belasteguín lift one last trophy would be a perfect end to his career. All that remains is two opportunities King Bela to win one last title in his career!

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 !
