At only 25 years,  Agustín Tapia  embodies everything that padel has to offer. A champion on the court, a smiling face off it, close to his fans and a close friend to his partner Arturo Coello, the Argentinian is much more than a player:  It is a perfect showcase for padel. 

Well-deserved world number 1

Hailing from Catamarca, Argentina, Tapia has risen through the ranks at breakneck speed. His pure technique, his vision of the game, and above all, his creativity make him a player apart.  World number 1 with Arturo Coello , he won titles on the circuit Premier Padel, with impressive regularity. At only 25 years old, he is already considered by many to be a padel genius.

His game is both explosive and elegant. He impresses as much with his smashes as with his pinpoint drop shots. In short,  it makes you want to play .

Present on social networks

Unlike some discreet online athletes, Agustín Tapia has understood the importance of his  digital presence He regularly updates his social networks – particularly Instagram – with varied content: match moments, training sessions, behind the scenes, meetings with fans.

His tone is simple, accessible, and he never overdoes it. The result? He is very  appreciated by the padel community , whether in Latin America, Spain, France or elsewhere. Its image is healthy, dynamic, without ever falling into excess. A  role model for young players .

A player with a smile

Tapia is also the anti-star in the good sense of the term.  Never a controversy, always respectful , and always… with a smile on his face. In victories as in defeats, he maintains the same positive and humble attitude. On the field, we see him congratulate the opponents, chat with the referees without getting angry, and encourage his partner. It is this kind of behavior that pleases the organizers, but especially the public. He gives a  beautiful image of padel .

A perfect relationship with Arturo Coello

Since their association,  Tapia and Coello form an almost unbeatable duo . But what is as striking as their track record is their  complicity The two players understand each other perfectly on the pitch: one attacks, the other covers; one encourages, the other responds with a smile. They exude good understanding, and their chemistry is contagious. Tapia regularly speaks of Arturo in interviews with great respect and pride. Their duo is  the perfect balance of power, finesse and camaraderie . Arturo had declared in May:  “Agustin and I never argue.” .
