Decidedly, this WPT Madrid Master is a tournament like no other. We have further proof of this with the victory of Fernando Belasteguin and Arturo Coello against Lebron and Galan in the quarter-finals.

In a very tight match, the Spanish-Argentinian pair finally managed to win against the numbers 1 after eight consecutive losses.

If the outsiders had taken the lead from the start of the match thanks to a quick break, Lebron and Galan as often knew how to raise their level of play to come back to score. But while the two pairs surrendered blow for blow, Bela and Coello won the first set to everyone's surprise after a tie-break dominated by the head and shoulders.

It was enough to annoy the Spaniards who imposed their rhythm in the second act. We imagined that they were going to continue in the third set as often, but on the contrary, Gustavo Pratto's players came back with intentions and quickly led 3/0. A lead that they managed, not without difficulty, to keep until the end of the match.

Finally, as was the case this morning in the women's quarter-final between Iglesias/Osoro and Marrero/Sainz, it is not the pair that has won the most points that wins the match…

It should be noted that the very end of the match will have been unusual for players of this talent. Indeed, while Bela had double faulted on the first match point, Galan sent his return into the net on the “punto de oro” that followed. Obviously regrettable since this point could have completely revived the players of Mariano Amat. Instead, it was Coello and Belasteguin who secured a third consecutive semi-final. It will either be against Di Nenno/Navarro or against Chingotto/Tello.
