Juan Martín Díaz
Juan Martín Díaz first reached the World Padel Tour's number one ranking in 2000 partnered with Hernán Auguste, two years before he began the pairing with Fernando Belasteguín that would define his career and become the sport's benchmark doubles partnership. Díaz and Belasteguín held the world's top ranking together for 13 straight seasons, from 2002 to 2014, winning 170 of the 191 finals they played as a team — a winning percentage in finals that remains unmatched by any other pairing in the sport's history. Their 22-tournament winning streak between September 2005 and May 2007, spanning nearly two full years without a loss, is still cited within the sport as the high-water mark of doubles dominance in professional padel. His combination of an individual world number one ranking achieved before Belasteguín and his role in the most statistically dominant partnership padel has ever seen has made Díaz one of the most significant players in the sport's history.
VS
Fernando Belasteguín
Fernando Belasteguín, known throughout the sport as "Bela," held the World Padel Tour's world number one ranking from 2002 to 2017 — 16 consecutive years, the longest run atop the rankings in the sport's history — and retired with a record 230 career titles from 286 finals. His partnership with Juan Martín Díaz held the world's top doubles ranking for 13 straight seasons, from 2002 to 2014, winning 170 titles together, and between September 2005 and May 2007 the pair went undefeated for one year and nine months, a streak of 22 consecutive tournament wins. After that partnership ended in 2014, Belasteguín paired with Pablo Lima and held the world number one ranking for a third consecutive season in 2017, closing out a stretch of world number one rankings spanning parts of three different decades with two different partners. His combination of a record 230 career titles and his unmatched 16 years as world number one has made Belasteguín almost universally regarded as the greatest padel player the sport has produced.
