Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia managed to save two match points during their quarterfinal match against Miguel Lamperti and Juan Cruz Belluati. The winners of this match will play against Javi Garrido and Mike Yanguas for a place in the final of the Brussels Premier Padel P2.
A year later, Juan Cruz Belluati and Miguel Lamperti almost made it to the semifinals. They had two match points against the number one team in the last match of the quarterfinal day, but unfortunately they were unable to capitalize on them.
During this eventful day, Miguel Lamperti and Juan Cruz Belluati put up a great effort to close the day on a high note. They surprised the No. 1 team from the beginning with an early break and managed to take the first set, 6-4. The gray and inconsistent play of Tapia and Coello during the first set and much of the second set contrasted with the determination and drive of Lamperti and Belluati. However, despite the bad game, the number one team took advantage of a couple of errors by their rivals to force a third set, which they ultimately won, 6-3.
From the break in the second set, we saw a notable improvement in the performance of the No. 1 team, especially from Arturo Coello, who offered a whole repertoire of decisive shots. Despite this, Belluati and Lamperti did not give up and continued to dream of victory, and they even came close to achieving it.
2 match points
At 15-40, in the tenth game, Belluati and Lamperti had two match points for the rest. Unfortunately, they failed to capitalize on them, and when you make mistakes against a team like the No. 1 team, the consequences can be severe. From 5-4, the score went to 5-7, resulting in a victory for Tapia and Coello.
Despite not playing their best, Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello managed to secure a place in the semi-finals after winning their eighteenth consecutive victory, 4-6 6-3 7-5. They are currently the number one team for a reason.
