No fan can forget it. The passage through the Rio Gallegos-Argentina Open will always be remembered as the test in which Bela and Lima won their first title as a couple. In an intense final, they beat Sanyo Gutiérrez-Maxi Sánchez in three sets and confirmed that they have everything to consolidate as the new 1 numbers in the world.
Padel World Press .- Many conjectures could be made. You could say that if it were not for the injury to Pablo Lima's left shoulder, this would have been his fourth victory of the current season ... But, as that is something we will never know, at this moment we can only say that in view of what we have seen inside the track, they will be a fearsome pair, which will be very difficult to defeat.
As they already did in the semifinals, Bela and Lima gave up the first set to then step on the accelerator and overcome their rivals with authority. This was reflected by the 5-7, 6-2 and 6-2 marker.
In a script almost identical to the previous round, it should be noted that Belasteguín started the crash by committing many unforced errors. Little by little, step by step, all the players were keeping their respective serves and, when the outlook seemed to point towards the tie break, Sanyo and Maxi knew how to take advantage of the only break option that they had in that first set, they stayed with the service of Lima and they went ahead on the scoreboard.
Instead of assuming a blow, instead of affecting them, the fact of giving up the first set was a great incentive for the 1 seeds who looked at each other, gritted their teeth and brought out all their aggression ... Very motivated, they did not take long in adding their first break and, after an interminable first game, they broke Sanyo's serve, something they repeated in the seventh, this time with Maxi at the service.
In the third and definitive partial, the almost 3.000 spectators who filled completely the stands of the Athletic Association Boxing Club did not take long to verify that the party already had owners. Bela and Lima returned to achieve a break in the first game and advanced with firm step.
It should be noted that Lima was able to withstand the incessant rally to his corner, tactics that his rivals followed from the first minute. The Brazilian ended up becoming a wall and shone in his defensive side.
The final tip came with a new break in the seventh game and, after maintaining his serve, he could see the euphoria of an excited Pablo Lima, who could not hold and raised his arms to heaven, letting out a tear when recalling the support received on the part of his wife, Paula, in these hard months of recovery.
As our colleagues at World Paddle Tour say ... "The history of Bela and Lima began to be written in Argentina and the future smiles".
The show does not stop and we can only say ... Enjoy the Game !!!
