Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia (TS1) start 2025 like 2024: as bosses. The world number 1s impose themselves in  three sets  (6/3 7/5 6/3) against Juan Lebrón and Franco Stupaczuk (TS3) in  Riyadh Season P1 Finals .

If Stupa and Lebrón have  tried to disrupt the machine  With a much better negotiated second set, Coello and Tapia knew how  respond at the right time  to avoid a trap match. More  own ,  regular , they dominated this final and  win the first trophy of the year .

 A one-sided first set 

From the outset, Coello and Tapia impose a  hellish pace . Opposite, Stupa and Lebrón do not find  no opening  in return for service, only scoring  3 small points on the opposing face-offs .

Result: a  6/3 express , a real demonstration of the number 1s.

 Lebrón and Stupa return to the game 

The second set changes completely  dynamic .  Pozzoni  adjusts the game plan and Stupa/Lebrón starts to  find the solutions .

Lebron plays  longer , uses his  cross lob  to bother Coello and finally finds some  variation .  The game is getting tighter , and the debates become more balanced.

À  6/5 , Stupa and Lebrón raise their voices and realize the  decisive break , with a high-level Juan Lebrón who allows the set to be concluded  7/5 .

 Coello and Tapia step on the accelerator 

Frustrated at having let the second set slip away,  Coello and Tapia  go back to the fight… They realize the  entry station wagon for Coello / Tapia , and this time, they will not let  no chance  to reglue.

 The gap is made and the pressure becomes too great . Coello and Tapia are unrolling, accelerating in key moments and are not trembling in their service games.  6/3, curtain, end of the final.  With  66 winning points  against 51 for their opponents and only  30 unforced errors  against 40 for Stupa / Lebrón, the difference was made on  efficiency and regularity . We saw a  Tapia of the great days  In this match he carried the team with  38 winning points  all by himself.  Coello was intermittent , but he knew, as usual,  be present in important moments .

 A first title that calls for others 

This first coronation of  2025  confirms one thing:  Coello and Tapia are still the bosses . They won this tournament this time, which they had lost last year against Lebrón / Galan. But we saw some interesting things in this match with a Juan Lebrón who seems to be one of the few to really bother Arturo Coello in his diagonal, confirming the great potential of the Lebrón / Stupaczuck pair.

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 !
