There are victories that leave their mark, even among the greatest. Agustín Tapia, who is used to the pinnacle of world padel, let his emotions burst forth after a victory snatched in extreme conditions in the quarter-finals of the Bordeaux P2.

With his teammate Arturo Coello, the Argentinian prodigy overcame Momo González and Jon Sanz after a battle of rare intensity. An electric encounter, marked by numerous emotional swings, where the Spanish-Argentine pair had to save three match points to finally impose itself on the mind.

As he headed back to the benches after the winning match point, Tapia broke down in tears, visibly overwhelmed by the accumulated tension. Lying on the ground with teary eyes, he received encouragement from his teammate Coello and the coaching staff. This powerful moment quickly made the rounds on social media, illustrating the extent to which the match had been a veritable emotional rollercoaster for the players.

Questioned at the microphone of Barbara Vitantonio, Tapia did not try to hide his confusion:

“I was extremely nervous today. I had a very difficult time on the pitch. I want to congratulate our opponents on their level of play and thank Arturo. This match means a lot to us.”

Despite his immense track record, the Catamarca native once again demonstrates that padel remains, above all, a matter of passion and self-improvement, regardless of the tournament's level. Even a seemingly minor P2 can trigger a surge of emotion when the pressure is at its peak.

And it is not Arturo Coello who will say the opposite, exhausted at the end of the match, forced to take a long time at the end of the match, to collect his thoughts.

Thanks to this victory, Tapia and Coello reach the last four, where they will find Paquito Navarro and Lucas Bergamini, who defeated Yanguas and Coki Nieto with a net score of 6 / 4 6 / 4.
