Here are Belasteguin and Paquito, ready to set the Foro on fire

Court number 5 at the Foro Italico is where champions train. It happens in May with the Internazionali BNL d’Italia tennis tournament, it also happens in July with the BNL Italy Major Premier Padel. At 6 p.m., with a little shade to make the Roman afternoon more pleasant even for the curious looking from the terrace of the bar, the baton is passed, as if it were a relay race. Out Fernando Belasteguin, in Paquito Navarro. Both are smiling, both are ready to take the love bath of the Roman fans and get the fans excited.

With Belasteguin is Mike Yanguas; with Navarro, however, comes Fede Chingotto. Paquito is already “on fire”, idol of Major 2022 despite the final victory going to Lebron and Galan: should his adventure continue beyond the second round, he would probably be back. More likely, on the other hand, is that on Wednesday night the Rome crowd will be on the side of Lorenzo Di Giovanni and Denny Cattaneo, opponents of the number 3 seed on the draw. In any case, Wednesday of the BNL Italy Major Premier Padel will be the day of all the world top players, including Bela and Paquito.
