This is perhaps one of the most promising duos of this year 2023. After a very successful year alongside Bela, Coello arrives in better shape than ever.  And with Tapia, devastating smashes are likely to rain down on the biggest courts in the world. padel global. At 20 and 23 respectively, the two players represent the future of the sport. A real challenge awaits those who have already shown great things during the BNK Padel Open by beating the pair Lebrón / Paquito. Will they be able to dislodge Galan and Lebrón from world number one?  Case to follow.
