The pair, Agustín Tapia / Arturo Coello, had a 2024 season HISTORY, marked by impressive statistics and almost unchallenged domination on the circuit. However, the title of world number 1 was only mathematically confirmed in Acapulco. The fault lies in the resistance of their direct rivals, the pair Chingotto/Galan, alias “Chingalán”.
The figures of the Tapia-Coello season
In 2024, Tapia and Coello reached heights rarely reached in the history of professional padel:
- 92 matches played
- 86 wins, a success rate of 93,5%
- Only 6 defeats
- 17 finals reached out of 18 possible
- 12 titles won, cementing their status as a formidable duo
An almost perfect year
Tapia and Coello started the season with a series of impressive wins, quickly laying the foundations for their dominance. 12 tracks, including some major ones, came to crown their regularity and tactical mastery. Their only absence in the final is an anomaly which further demonstrates their exceptional consistency.
Fierce competition
While their performances were spectacular, it is equally remarkable that the title of world number one was contested all the way to Acapulco. This reflects the intensity of the rivalries on the circuit, especially against Chingotto and Galán, who have continued to put the leaders of the ranking under pressure.
With such a season, Tapia and Coello have established themselves as one of the best pairs in the history of modern padel, while also hinting at a future where the competition remains fierce. Fans are already eagerly awaiting 2025 to see if the Spanish-Argentine pair can repeat this feat.
