Padel Magazine - Juan Martin Diaz and Fernando Belasteguin made no mistake in Badajoz a few kilometers from the Portuguese border, to win against their eternal rivals Juani Mieres and Pablo Lima in this magnificent sports complex: "La Granadilla" .

The final: A demonstration of the Kings

The score shows the difference in levels that there is between the real world numbers and the others. Let’s remember… Currently and officially, the world number one is Lima and Mieres and not the Kings and it’s no joke! But with this victory, Bela and Juan are sure to regain their No.1 spot in the WPT on Wednesday.

Faced with future world number two, The Kings lost only 9 games in 3 sets. What a feat!

Because the way was there! If in the first set, the “princes” who are sorry to remain so always and again, nevertheless put pressure on Juan and Bela… it stops there. The first set lost 6/4 was only the beginning of a demonstration of our ex and future world number ones who were believed to be on the decline with their various health problems. This is clearly ancient history and the competition got the 5 out of 5 message.

The next two sets will be a slow agony for Mieres and Lima: 6 / 3 6 / 2 and therefore two consecutive victories in as many tournaments for the Hispano-Argentine pair.

The audience obviously wanted more, to have a match with a real fight ... He even encouraged Lima-Mieres, but the public ended up being charmed by the quality of play Diaz-Belasteguin.

What are the other pairs doing?

Far from the 1st world pair.

Yet at the Masters of Madrid, it was believed the rise of competition.

Sanyo and Maxi Sánchez Gutiérrez? Observers believe they have enormous potential. They won the Masters against Bela and Juan. Yes but… They were hurt. At 80%, they could have won the masters. The roof which still shows the important difference between the numbers one and 4e global. Sanyo and Maxi are young and very talented. But that is not enough. And they still have a way to go to make regular finals and win titles.

Cristian Gutierrez and Matthias Diaz? It is a pair that we believed lost in advance. Two defenders in one and the same team… And it works! How hard it is to win a game against them. They make very few mistakes and manage to break the opposing game. Against Bela and Juan, in the semi-final of the Badajoz International Open, they lost in 3 sets and with honors. However, this is not enough, it lacks a real striker. If Matthias plays this role at times, it is not yet enough today to claim the top 2 in the world.

Juan and Bela have shown a face that renders sterile any hint. The story is running, because seeing a pair as untouchable whatever the sport is rare enough to report it.

The next WPT will take place in Cordoba… Following the next step.
