Back to the top for Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia ! In Rome the Spanish-Argentinian pair won their first title on the Premier Padel. Coming out of Foro Italico, the iconic 'King Arturo' sparked admiration of a fan who, faced with his idol, succumbed to emotion.

Beyond the sporting aspect, encounters between fans and idols are defining moments in the sports world. As the Valladolid player was leaving Foro Italico after winning the Major, one of the tournament's ball boys approaches him.

This one asks his idol to sign an autograph for him on a ball, but Arturo will offer him much more than that. The 21-year-old then takes a jersey out of his bag and gives it to him. Speechless, the boy fails to control his emotion and bursts into tears in Coello's arms.

The scene provoked the reaction of many fans on social networks, thus illustrating the growing enthusiasm around the padel. Beyond their professional status, the players of padel are rising to stardom and this testifies to the meteoric rise of the discipline, which is taking a new step in its popularity, even if there is still much to do for the padel .
