00:00Welcome to Milan, this is where the Padel Tournament will take place, which will be the penultimate in 2024.
00:16It is the economic capital of Italy, as well as the city of fashion.
00:19It has a lot of things that we are going to discover before living the Padel de Genoa.
00:24And here I have the Duomo de Milano, which is probably the most emblematic cathedral in all of Italy.
00:30And now we go to the Vittorio Emanuele Gallery.
00:34And besides, everything is decorated for Christmas because we are in December and it is twice as beautiful.
00:43And we are here at the Allianz Cloud, which is the venue where the Padel Milan Tournament will take place this week.
00:50We hope that great VIPs arrive during these days.
00:54As it happened last year, 5,420 people fit in this venue.
01:00They are all waiting for it to start now.
01:02My favorite player is Arturo Coelho, who is number one, he is the king.
01:18He is Spanish like us and I love how he plays, how he dominates on the track, with his aerial shots, how he defends. He is a machine.
01:27I have a split heart between Agustin Tapia, who I think is the best player and the one with the most magic,
01:32and Arturo Coelho, who I think plays at a better level each time and represents me nationally very well.
01:38Do you look like them when you play?
01:40No, I don't look like them much. As much as I would love to, I only look like Coelho in height.
01:44But I hope to look like them. That's what we train for.
01:47Mike, when we have interviewed him several times, I have asked him what he would work on more and what he thinks he can improve.
02:01He always answers, patience, because he says he is very impatient. You have experienced that in your first person, right?
02:07Totally, and that was the most complicated thing, because I am also very impatient, we both have a lot of anxiety.
02:13At the beginning of the tournaments, there was no way to balance it. One threw a ball to one side, the other to the other.
02:19It was very difficult, so you always have to have the temperament of one in the team for that to work.
02:25I think I took on that role more today, because I have more experience, more years, and he still does crazy things,
02:32but he does them more orderly and I can play more comfortably.
02:37You are two impatient players, but you have already found the key, you have reached the final in Acapulco, you are fifth. Is the situation positive?
02:48Yes, totally positive. The thing is that today the world is so successful that if you are not number one, if you do not win all the tournaments, it is not worth it.
02:59I think that you have to continue, you have to stay, I have been consolidated among the top positions for many years.
03:07As I told you a while ago, last year we fought for number one, this year it has been very hard.
03:12There are couples that perhaps do it a little better, adapt better. The case with Galán and Chingo has been spectacular.
03:20And well, with Eutopia, who have not come down from the majors, they have been in all the finals, they have won tournaments.
03:28So it's very hard. Sometimes you can say that your year has been very good, but yours has been excellent.
03:37But you have to look at yourself, right?
03:39Yes, totally. What one can grow, I always think that growth is more personal and there will always be someone better than you or worse.
03:47So you have to feel good about yourself.
03:49Well, thank you very much and good luck in what remains of the tournament.
03:52Thank you very much to you.
03:58And speaking of food, there is a player in the tournament who loves to cook and we have prepared a very special interview for you.
04:09We are in Milan and we are going to cook pasta.
04:12Let's see, Fabi, I know you love carbonara, but today we are not going to make carbonara.
04:27Now the time has come for the questions.
04:30Let's see, there are many people outside the padel who do not fully understand the issue of couples who break up,
04:36who are together for two months and then find another.
04:40How do you live this situation as a padel player?
04:43You have also experienced this issue intensely this year.
04:48It really is something that, whether you like it or not, is very normalized today.
04:54Because it is seen that in the end there are many couples changes and it is normal.
04:59In the end, so that people understand, this is like having a company and you want to have the best employee by your side.
05:08In this case, there is a possibility of having new teammates that you think can do better for you.
05:17And in the end people, either because they find you in a bad situation with your current teammate,
05:23or it is fine but you simply feel that you can do better with another teammate.
05:29And it changes.
05:31Three adjectives with which you describe yourself.
05:38I think natural, hardworking and family.
05:47And your wish for 2025, after the summary that you have given us of 2024,
05:52which has been a bit of ups and downs, but you are in position number 10 right now,
05:56which is your best position so far.
05:59What is left for this last step of 2025?
06:04Well, just to keep working as I am doing, keep improving day by day,
06:11try harder if I can, and in the end things will come or not.
06:18But if I work, if I work hard and I am focused on what I have to do,
06:23I am sure that good things will come.
06:25If not, at least I will be calm that I have tried, I have always tried to do the best I can,
06:30and that I will never be able to throw away.
06:34And if you do it as well as LaPasta, I am sure that everything is secured successfully.
06:40I hope so, but I am sure that next time I will do better than this.
06:44Perfect, thank you very much for the interview and good luck in this Milan tournament.
06:48Thank you very much.
06:56And through this corridor all the players enter.
07:00This has been the last tournament in which Fernando Belasteguín has participated,
07:04who has passed through this corridor to reach the track.
07:07And we are going to make a summary of the last tournament of one of the greatest icons of the padel.
07:19The day that many thought would not come, came.
07:22Fernando Belasteguín put an end to his career in professional padel in the Milan tournament.
07:27The Argentine said goodbye after 30 years of career in which he has won a total of 230 tournaments
07:33and has been 16 seasons the number one in the world.
07:37Who was going to say it when he arrived in Spain at only 15 years old
07:41and padel was not by far what it is today.
07:52And these have been the best points of the tournament.

09:27the
09:48video
10:07that
10:18I always wanted to win.
10:20I had the bad side of being calm.
10:22I'm very nervous.
10:24With Agus I think I've improved a lot.
10:26He relaxes me a lot.
10:28His way of living,
10:30not only on the track,
10:32is calmer and for a nervous person like me
10:34it's good.
10:36I think we complement each other well
10:38and I hope it continues for a long time.
10:40What do you think of this Milan tournament?
10:42With the work and how we've been improving
10:44day after day,
10:46we were surprised
10:48how we felt on the track.
10:50In what?
10:52In our physical and emotional state.
10:54We were very tired
10:56and with the week we've been recovering
10:58and overcoming adversities.
11:00I'm very happy.
11:02Agus, you have big fans,
11:04not only of padel, but also of football.
11:06We've seen Dybala, we've seen Leo Paredes,
11:08who I imagine had already contacted you before.
11:10Tell me a little about that meeting
11:12with them after your great victory.
11:14It's true
11:16that they contacted me
11:18and told me
11:20that they wanted to come.
11:22It's a huge pleasure for me.
11:24As I said before,
11:26they are stars of the sport.
11:28They know our sport.
11:30It's something that fills my heart
11:32because it's a young sport
11:34that is growing a lot.
11:36We are living the process
11:38and we are very happy.
11:40Last question.
11:42How do you plan to celebrate this victory?
11:44I don't know.
11:46I wanted to go home
11:48to celebrate it with my girlfriend,
11:50but I won't be able to.
11:52I'll stay with my family and the team
11:54and enjoy it.
11:56Agus will take you somewhere, right?
11:58Since we are here,
12:00we have to do something
12:02and take advantage of the fact
12:04that my family is here.
12:06Then my girlfriend will enjoy it.
12:08Thank you very much, guys.
12:10Cheers!
12:12Thank you very much.
