How to beat Coello et Wall Who is the best player in the world? Paquito delivers his analysis.

How to beat Coello and Tapia?

To the question asked by Seba Nerone, which many are currently asking themselves – How to beat the world number 1s? - Paquito responds frankly:

“I think if we knew how to do it, we would already be doing it. I think it depends on them first, whether they are having a bad day. That's the reality. For me... I don't know if I'm going too far or not, but I'll give my opinion.

I think if both of them play well, it's very difficult, really very difficult to get the better of them. If they both play well, put up your shield, accept the result, and go out saying, 'I did what I could.' Because they're both at a very high level."

Since their union, Coello et Wall have won 32 titles, including 21 on the tour Premier PadelThe chemistry was immediate: 15 titles in 2023, then 14 the following season, marked by an impressive series of 47 consecutive victories. In 2025, for their third season together, they have already won three trophies, including the first Major of the year in Doha. Only two tournaments eluded them, in Miami and Santiago, partly due to an injury to his right hand. Wall.

Tapia, the best player in the world? Coello, the most dominant?

Paquito Navarro gives a clear opinion: for him, the Argentinian Agustín Tapia, who shares the track and the world number 1 spot with his teammate Arturo Coello, is the best player in the world currently:

“In my eyes, today, Wall is the best player in the world. For me, from my point of view, he has been for a few years now. I think that with Gallant, they are the two best players on the left, neck and neck. And I'm going to venture onto another pitch: I think that Coello makes a huge difference.”

And this is due, in addition to his obvious qualities, to his association with the most dominant player on the right in world padel:

“Today, even if Wall is the best, the one that really makes the difference, it is Coello. Because to this day, apart from Pablo (Cardona), who is progressing - and I think he will get there - there is no player on the right who covers as much ground, who finishes as many points and who imposes as much as Coello. "

Arturo Coello establishes himself as one of the most complete players, and even the most dominant on the right side of the circuit Premier Padel according to Paquito Navarro, at just 23 years old. The Spaniard has only improved in recent seasons, becoming the youngest world number 1 in history at 21.

A pair that wants to make history

A partnership that complements each other perfectly and hopes to continue writing the history of its sport, with the aim of consolidating their position as world number 1 and surpassing the duo's number of titles. Lebron / Galan (33 titles).

Arturo Coello: “Agustín and I never argue”

To NAVARRO, the collaboration between Mozart (Wall) and King Arthur (Coello) gives them a definite advantage to continue to dominate in the coming seasons:

“Today, they both have a huge advantage: one plays with the best player in the world, and the other with the most dominant right-hander of the moment.”
