When for his World Padel Tour  - Open de Mijas, all eyes were on the Argentinian association Tapia / Belasteguin and the other new pairs of the world top 20.

The media have generally focused on the main draw ... BUT, they missed an unlikely event: The defeat of Poggi / Gutierrez in Previas.

No, you're not dreaming. Well it is not about Cristian Gutiérrez Albizu, the 14 world number, which is besides in form at present, but Cristian Germán Gutiérrez, the 74e global player.

But even so, Fernando Poggi, the former quarter-finalist of the Masters of Portugal, who had not lost before the 16e finals since the beginning of the year, finds himself losing in the second round of the Previas.

And to top it off, they will lose in their first match (second round of the Previas) against Arturo Coello Manso / Juan Manuel Vázquez (6-3 / 1-6 / 2-6).

Surprising because the Spanish pair was certainly a good pair of Previa, but not the pair to avoid these qualifications. Moreover, she will lose on her next turn against Sergio Alba Sánchez / Francisco M. Gil Morales 6-1 / 6-1 coming from preprevias! Another exceptional course.

We appreciate Fernando Poggi, for these great flights and his supersonic smashes. We hope to see him again soon in the spotlight.
