Fernando Belasteguin and Agustin Tapia performed a recital to dominate Lima / Navarro in the quarterfinal of the Vuelve A Madrid Open from World Padel Tour.
We suspected that the return of Fernando Belasteguin to the left was a tactic that could destabilize Paquito Navarro and Pablo Lima, and we can say that this was the case today at the Madrid Arena. Rediscovering their favorite side, Bela offered a recital, comfortable in defense, impressive on the fly, the Argentinian regained his legs of 20 years, and took the match on his own.
Add to that not too many opponents on their plate, and a Agustin Tapia “in Lebron mode”, aggressive on the fly, and decisive on all high balls, and you get a win without appeal: 6 / 2 6 / 4. Bela / Tapia is back at the forefront: they will face tomorrow Agustin Gomez Silingo and Martin Di Nenno, who will play their first semi-final, following their victory in a big fight against Rico / Nieto: 4/6 6/4 6/3.

In the other part of the table, it's a bit the same configuration: a semi-final won clearly by Ale Galan and Juan Lebron facing Chingotto / Tello 6 / 3 6 / 2 ; and a huge fight between Diaz / Sanchez and Lamperti / Bergamini. It is finally the seed number 4 which imposed itself at the end of the suspense: 5/7 7/6 7/5.
