The Paris Major marked a symbolic turning point: Agustín Tapia just joined Alejandro Galán in the total number of titles (49). A tie which illustrates the rise in power of the Argentinian player over the past two seasons.

The face-to-face that doesn't deceive

Against Galán / Chingotto, the domination is clear: 16 wins to 6 for Tapia / Coello. Even more worrying for the Spanish-Argentine pair, they remain on four consecutive defeats and only beat their rivalsonly once in a year, When Major of Rome 2025Recent finals confirm a trend: even when the playing conditions seemed to favor Chingotto, Tapia and Coello dominated.

Tapia's statistical explosion

The trajectory of both players speaks volumes. At the end of 2023, Galán displayed 39 tracks (World Padel Tour + Premier Padel), against only 22 for Tapia. But since the creation of his duo with Arturo Coello, the Argentinian has changed dimension: 27 titles collected in less than two years, compared to only 10 for Galán over the same period. In other words, Tapia has closed a backlog of 17 titles in less than 24 months.

The dynamics of the world number 1

Today, the contrast is striking. Tapia is riding high on an impressive run with Coello: consistency in tournaments, dominance in head-to-head matches, and an ability to step up at key moments. Galán, despite his consistency and the valuable contribution of Chingotto, is unable to reverse the trend.

A superiority that risks becoming more pronounced

Looking at the numbers, it is difficult to imagine a quick turnaround. Tapia and Coello seem to have taken a structural advance : they dominate in all playing conditions, chain the finals and impose themselves psychologically in this direct duel. If parity in the number of titles is a fact today, the projection plays in favor of Tapia, which could overtake Galán in the coming months and widen the gap over time.

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 !
