Belluati and Garrido in tears after sensational match — ready for their first semi-final

29th-ranked Javi Garrido and Juan Belluati 34th-ranked are ready for their first semi-final. In one of the most prestigious World Padel Tour competitions of the whole season, the Barcelona Masters. 

Previously, the team had reached a quarter-final at best this season, in the Santander Open in May. 

Today everything was right for the pair, who faced two-time champions Agustin Tapia and Pablo Lima. Pablo Lima and Agustin Tapia started the match the best and won the first set, expectedly 6-4. At the time, most of the crowd in Palau Sant Jordi thought the favorites would leave the arena with a place in tomorrow's semi-final. 

But Argentinian Juan Belluati and Andalusian Javi Garrido wanted otherwise, and after two more sets played, the match was won after 6-3, 6-4 in the last two sets. 

Juan Belluati also ended the match in the best way when he hit the ball into the net from outside the cage after a kick smash by Pablo Lima. After the game, both were emotional, and tears came from both Juan Belluati and Javi Garrido during the post-match interview in front of a standing crowd.
