A year ago, during the Vigo Open in World Padel Tour 2019, Fernando Belasteguin rolled up his sleeves to take the match against Lebron / Navarro in the tie-break.

For the second tournament of World Padel Tour of the 2019 season, Fernando Belasteguin and Pablo Lima are opposed to Juan Lebron and Paquito Navarro. A huge shock that keeps all its promises, the Spaniards winning the suspense tip: 6/4 3/6 7/6.

More than the result of the match, it is the effort of Fernando Belasteguin and Pablo Lima that is to be remembered. Dominated in the first set, the Brazilian and the Argentine hang on and manage to win the second round. In the third, Paquito and Lebron put on the gas to lead 4/1.

But once again, Bela and Lima are not let down and nibble behind, to return to 4/4. A 4/5 on its service, Pablo Lima injures ankle from the first point. The Brazilian limps but clings to stay on the ground.

Valiant Lima refuses to abdicate and even pulls out winning points from elsewhere when it is clearly past due. What to say about the performance of his partner. The legend of Pehuajo, who is about to celebrate its 40 years, and with three sets in the legs, will take matters into their own hands.

While his partner is walking, Belasteguin literally flies on the track and chains the winning points. The Argentinian is in steamroller mode to pull out a tie-break. Navarro and Lebron eventually get by but Bela's performance will go down in history.
