Yesterday dressed in black, today in white. The substance, however, is the same: Fernando Belasteguín and Arturo Coello, for the moment, are unhindered. The winning pair of Monterrey Major, and fourth seed of Milano Premier Padel P1, made it through the round of 16 with authority. They beat in two sets (6-3 6-2) in an hour and 15′ the Spaniards Javier Gonzalez Barrahona and Javier Garcia Mora. After snatching service from their opponents in the fourth game, Bela and Coello conceded two break points in the next game, avoiding both. The eighth game was particularly hard-fought, with Belasteguín and Coello failing to take advantage of five set points. Set, however, won by Bela without conceding any points. The other decisive break came in the fifth game of the second set, which brought Bela and Coello to victory, with a standing ovation from the Milanese audience. “When we got back to playing with intensity, we showed that we could keep a very high level,” Bela said. “I am very happy with the victory and I hope to continue to have this relationship with a country and an audience that I love very much. Tomorrow, in the last quarterfinal on the schedule (the second in the afternoon session starting at 5 p.m.), Belasteguín and Coello will face Miguel Semmler and José David Sanchez, aiming for a semifinal against Galan and Lebron that would be stellar.
A nice Bela: Belasteguín and Coello in the quarterfinals at Allianz Cloud. The match against to Semmler and Sanchez tomorrow night.
