Agustin Tapia, the 10th player in the world, partner of the legend Fernando Belasteguin, gave us an interview. A few minutes before his semi-final at the Master of Barcelona, ​​he looks back on “the best year of his life” but also talks about his somewhat special journey.

2019 will be remembered as the best year of my life. An incredible year. It's a great year finishing here at the Master of World Padel Tour, although it remains to finish the job trying to win the Master in Barcelona.

It was a special year for me. First of all because I started the year with Juan Martin Diaz.

Unfortunately for him, he was injured. And I am lucky that Fernando Belasteguin finds himself in a situation where he wanted to change partners. In this bad luck, there were a lot of chances in the end. Today I'm playing with Bela and I hope we can do great things together.

I learned a lot from JMD. I obviously appreciated the victories… All this is useful to me today.

When we are with Fernando, we know that it is to build something. Rarely, it passes from one player to another. And it is necessarily very motivating because he is 100% involved in the construction of the team. Obviously, I am very happy and motivated.

I'm playing with a new NOX racket Padel for some time, it is about a mix between my two previous rackets. Today I play with the AT10 Genius, it's a great racket and hope it will allow me to win many trophies.
