Agustín Torre: from the Argentinian dream to the demands of world padel

Former headliner of the circuit A1 PadelAgustín Torre took a significant step forward in 2025 by joining the personalised tour Premier Padel, where he now occupies the 52th place in the world. Originally fromOlavarriaIn a small town located nearly 400 kilometers from Buenos Aires, the Argentinian is forging his own path away from the spotlight, with a trajectory marked by patience, resilience, and profoundly human choices. A semi-finalist in the FIP Silver of CaenTorre is now looking ahead to 2026 with ambition… but also with clear-sightedness.

Olavarría, the starting point

Before the big tournaments, the endless journeys and the international draws, there is Olavarría.
A discreet city in the province of Buenos Aires, far from the hustle and bustle of the capital, where Agustín Torre built his first sporting skills.

Like many Argentinian players, his primary sport is not padel, but tennis. A former ATP world number 600, he finds tennis a demanding and solitary sport, but also very mentally exhausting.

Then comes a pause. A break. A moment of hesitation.

"For a while, I didn't do any sport. I played football, then I played padel... and that's when I immediately felt something."

This “something,” Torre often describes as an inner comfort. A feeling of play, but above all, a feeling of life.

When padel becomes obvious

The turning point doesn't just come from the field. It also comes from the personal context.
At this time, his father's serious illness disrupted his priorities. The constant travel for tennis became burdensome, almost impossible.

"My father had a very serious illness. Traveling, playing, competing in competitions... it had become very difficult."

Agustín then put his career on hold. Almost a year without competitions. Without planes. Without pressure.

And it is precisely at this moment that padel takes on its full meaning.

"When I quit tennis and started playing padel again, I felt better mentally. I was more at peace."

Less solitary. More collective. More human.
Padel is no longer just a sport: it is becoming a source of balance for Agustín.

School A1 Padel growing up away from the spotlight

It's on the circuit A1 Padel that Agustín Torre is truly building himself up as a professional player.
For several seasons, he became one of the key figures on the circuit, accumulating experience and high-level matches.

"Thanks to A1 PadelI became a professional player. I was able to make a living from padel.

A pivotal moment in his career.
Not the most publicized, but undoubtedly the most educational.

Even today, Torre speaks of this circuit with great gratitude, without closing any doors for the future.

"I have very fond memories. There were some very good people. I would never say no."

2025: The Great Leap Towards Premier Padel

The year 2025 marks a turning point.
After A1's economic problems PadelTorre leaves his comfort zone to face the world's elite: Premier Padel.

A radical change. Higher level of competition. Total professionalism. No places available.

"The level is clearly higher. Everything is more demanding."

However, far from being overwhelmed by this rise in level, Torre rose to the occasion. He concludes a solid season, marked in particular by three round of 16 matches on the circuitin Malaga, Tarragona and Bordeaux. Performances that testify to his consistency, but also to his ability to compete with players he had only observed from afar a few years earlier.

"Winning against players I admired, sharing the track with them... it was a dream."

At the end of the season, he is ranked in the 52th place in the worldA ranking that validates his choice and opens up new perspectives.

Building, in a constantly changing circuit

In modern padel where partner changes have become almost permanent, Torre adopts a measured approach.

"For the public, it's fun. But many decisions are linked to the rankings and the tables."

He understands the logic, without abandoning his vision: building over time remains essential. Because for him, performance often begins off the field.

2026 with Aris Patiniotis: a human adventure above all

For the 2026 season, Agustín Torre has signed with Aris PatiniotisA choice that goes far beyond the realm of sports.

"We have a very similar sense of humor. We get along well, and for me that's fundamental."

The seasons are long. The journeys are numerous. The weeks away from home follow one after another.

"Spending that much time with someone you feel comfortable with changes everything."

In terms of the game, Torre appears confident:

"He's a very fast, very complete player. I think we can work well together on the pitch."

Between ambition and balance

The objective for 2026 is clear: enter the world top 32, in order to access the 16 best pairs of the circuit. A strategic turning point.

"It brings more peace of mind, fewer matches, more stability."

But behind the sporting ambition, Agustín Torre is taking on another, more personal battle.

"There were times when I didn't enjoy the year. Being away from home, from friends... it's hard. I'd like to enjoy my year. To feel good."

Ranked 52nd in the world, Agustín Torre is not yet a global padel star.
But his journey tells a different story: that of a player built away from the noise, shaped by trials, and driven by a lucidity rarely seen in professional sport.

Grow, perform… without ever losing your way.
