We are entering a period when the padel professional becomes more and more demanding with the human body. Even very experienced players like Fernando Belasteguin and Juan Martin Diaz are no exception.

Past 40 years these two players are injured, out of the circuit for several weeks. We hope to find them very soon because despite their age, they have this little extra that always makes us dream.

Juan Martin Diaz had surgery this week in Barcelona from his knee that made him suffer and prevented him from playing at the highest level. How long will we see on the tracks? Only time and his body will tell.

Fernando Belasteguin was injured in the Buenos Aires final. After exams this week, he should keep us informed about the origin of his injury and his healing time. Knowing his ability to overcome challenges, when we see him on the field it will be 100% and with a desire greater than ever.

Ex-1 gentlemen take your time, heal your wounds and when you come back we will be there to admire the great players you are.
