Behind the success of Agustín Tapia There are key encounters. The one with  Pablo Crosetti  is part of it. The current technical director of the  Aurial Padel Academy  accompanied the first steps of the Argentinian prodigy towards the top level.

In an interview with  Sports world The coach reflects on this strong bond, but also on the player's development and the current dominance of the circuit.

 A relationship that goes beyond padel 

It is  Crosetti  who brought  Wall  in Spain, when he was still just a teenager. He took him in, trained him, and supported him on a daily basis. A relationship that goes far beyond the realm of sport.

" To me, he's like a son. “,” he confides. Even today, despite their separate paths, the bond remains intact. With every victory or difficult moment, a message, an exchange. A relationship that has never been broken.

 An impressive evolution 

Only at  26 years ,  Wall  has already built a solid track record:
 three times world number 1  (2023/2024/2025, XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX, XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX),  55 tracks  et  80 endings .

But beyond the numbers,  Crosetti  It places particular emphasis on the player's development. Not just on the field, but also off it.

It tells the story of a young man who, at the beginning, didn't even know how to cook, and who today has structured himself, grown, and continues to progress.

 “He learned to play with pain” 

The coach also looks back on the 2025 season, marked by physical difficulties for  Wall .

" He learned to play with the pain. Nobody knows how hard it was for him. " explains Crosetti. Despite this, the Argentinian managed the pressure and finished once again  global 1 number .

One aspect that illustrates its  strong minded which has become a true trademark.

 Stability as the key to success 

In a circuit marked by the  changes of partners ,  Crosetti  highlights a key point: the  stability .

For him, the success of  Tapia / Coello  but also  Galan / Chingotto  relies largely on their ability to  believe in their project over the long term .

“Today, many change at the slightest problem. They persevered, they built.”

A choice which, according to him, makes all the difference at the highest level.

 A dominance that will be difficult to break 

Finally  Crosetti  He mentions the current dominance of the two top pairs on the circuit. For him, the trend is clear:  Tapia / Coello  et  Galan / Chingotto  have taken a lead that will be difficult to overcome.

According to him, it would take both a slowdown in performance from these two duos… and a real increase in power from the other pairs to hope to reverse the trend.

“It’s one thing to be close, it’s another to win.”

A clear-eyed look at the current circuit, and a powerful account of the journey of Agustín Tapia , as seen from the inside by the one who accompanied him from the start.

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 !
