At the first appointment of the year, the Estrella Damm Catalunya Master, Fernando Belasteguín-Pablo Lima fell in semifinals, something unusual for the 1 number, but did not give more importance than due to this fact although both have always the bar very high.

Something similar happens with Belluati and Lebrón, who complement each other very well; Jardim transmits his experience to Tapia It is a good sign, it is very good for them to grow ”.
