There are players who enjoy a tournament. And then there are Agustín Tapia with Malaga .
By winning the Premier Padel Malaga P1 2026 alongside Arturo Coello The Argentinian achieved a rare feat: six consecutive years with a title in the Andalusian city , despite changes in partners, circuits and opponents.
A series that spans eras
The story begins in 2021 , on the World Padel Tour , when Tapia was still associated with Pablo Lima Together, they won the Málaga Open by dominating Paquito Navarro et Martín Di Nenno finally.
En 2022 Tapia returns with a new partner. Sanyo Gutiérrez and retains his title against Franco Stupaczuk / Pablo Lima This victory will remain special as it comes on the day of his 23e anniversary celebrated by all Martin Carpena , who sings “Happy Birthday” to him at the time of the trophy presentation.
Coello's arrival changes nothing
From 2023 A new era begins with Arturo Coello .
The result, however, remains the same.
The world's number 1 win the Malaga Open face Juan Tello et Álex Ruiz That same year, they also won at Marbella Master confirming their dominance on the Costa del Sol.
Then comes the passage of World Padel Tour à Premier Padel .
Again, nothing changes.
En 2024 Coello and Tapia beat Gallant et Chingotto in the final of Málaga P1.
En 2025 They repeat their actions against the same opponents.
2026: A demonstration for the sixth title
This year, the final turned into a demonstration.
Facing Juan Lebrón et Leo Augsburg The world number ones left no chance for their opponents, winning 6/2 6/2 in just 53 minutes .
A very high-level performance, during which they won almost two-thirds of the points contested, confirming their superiority once again.
This success also represents their sixth title of the season , the fifth consecutive , as well as their 27th consecutive final on the circuit Premier Padel.
Three partners, two circuits… one constant
What is most impressive about this series is its longevity.
In six years, Tapia won Málaga with three different partners ( Pablo Lima , Sanyo Gutiérrez et Arturo Coello ).
He won while playing for World Padel Tour And then Premier Padel .
In the final, he dominated different generations of pairs: Paquito Navarro / Martin Di Nenno , Franco Stupaczuk / Pablo Lima , Juan Tello / Álex Ruiz , Alejandro Galán / Federico Chingotto twice, then Juan Lebrón / Leo Augsburger this season.
Partners change. Circuits evolve. Rivals too.
But one constant remains: Agustín Tapia wins in Málaga .
At this stage, it's difficult to call it just a good run of form. The Argentinian has built a true love affair with the Andalusian city, which has become his playground over the years. And given his current level of play, there's no indication that this incredible romance is about to end.
I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
