The spectacular Exhibition Tournament organized by Monte-Carlo International Sports exceeded all expectations and filled with magic and great padel the facilities of the Buenos Aires club El Monasterio. The companions of Padelnetwork They tell us how the outcome of this true party was.
Padel World Press .- And it is that that word, 'party', was the most repeated at the end of this appointment, in which its nine contestants (plus the four players who made an exhibition on Saturday) gave themselves to the maximum during the entire dispute of an event that It was an 'international level party' because of the tone with which it was organized.
Taking advantage of the inertia of both the Fabrice Pastor Cup, disputed a week ago, and the 'Tournament of Friends' that was played during 25 and 26 days of February (Thursday and Friday), in which professionals were combined with amateurs, on Saturday The great moment arrived to start enjoying many of the best players in the world on the track.
To begin, Juan Martin Díaz-Ramiro Moyano raised an incredible match against Maxi Sánchez-Franco Stupaczuk to win the tiebreaker 7-6, 2-6 and 7-4 (it was not the best of three but there was a tie break of definition before equality to 1 set). Later there was a double 'debut': that of Juani Mieres on the right (position in which he played in Argentina with Lamperti fifteen years ago and in Spain with Pratto) and that of the Reca-Lebrón couple
Although it was an exhibition, the fans watched these players with attention and it is just a few weeks before the 2016 season of the World Paddle Tour begins ...
It should be noted that Reca-Lebrón suffered an unbeatable version of Mieres-Bela and could only use the semifinal match as an adjustment training. The final score was 6-2 and 6-1.
Between the two semifinals, the public had a great time with a women's exhibition, in which Carolina Navarro-Cecilia Reiter beat Silvana Campus, current number 1 in Argentina, and the local prodigal daughter, Delfina Brea, in a very good match. The latter noted: "It passed too quickly, I wanted to continue playing."
On Sunday, streamed via Padelnetwork.com, it was possible to witness the triumph of Gaby Reca and a much more comfortable Juan Lebrón than on Saturday, against Maxi Sánchez-Andrés Britos (he entered through Stupa). The clash was exciting and was decided in the tie break (6-3, 3-6 and 7-1).
Nito Brea and Fabrice Pastor said: "If Gaby is excited, it can be dangerous for anyone, perhaps even the most dangerous right." Reca himself confirmed it at the Padelnetwork.com transmission table: «It is true, I have renewed the illusions for this season and I have to combine the responsibility of taking the couple with taking advantage of Juanito's freshness, which is why I chose him».
In the final duel, new master lesson of Fernando Belasteguín and his occasional companion Juani Mieres. «I always suffer as a rival, this time I had to enjoy it as a partner», the one from Bahía Blanca would say later.
On the field, with a firm step, they beat Juan Martin Díaz-Ramiro Moyano 6-2 and 6-4, in a clash in which Mieres dedicated himself to doing things well at medium speed while Bela brought out his predatory instinct whenever he could… Ramiro and Juan resisted as long as they could, but we must bear in mind that they took away his fundamental weapon from Juan Martin: in El Monasterio, the lateral wire is four meters, not three, and you cannot go outside to look for the ball because there is not enough space. On Saturday, Juan tried a dozen times to get it out for four and he only succeeded in the last balls (just to close the match against Stupa and Maxi) so on Sunday he hardly tried it.
For the second consecutive year, Montecarlo International Sports provided the unforgettable party and also, for the second year in a row, Padelnetwork had the privilege of being there, taking to the whole world the images and the story of what was happening and enjoying with everyone what they gave us in court nine of the best players in the world.
