They go on, and on, and on…and they can’t get enough. Coello and Tapia are proclaimed champions of the Kuwait P1 in a new exhibition. They are still on a roll, still breaking records, still winning…
Agustín Tapia’s worst match in a long time
And yet they won 6-4/6-2, something usual for this couple. And when we talk about a ‘weak’ match for the player from Catamarca, we all understand each other. He has plenty of quality, but today he has been physically weakened and his opponents have looked for him much more. But come on, it’s insulting that this has been one of his worst games….
But this makes his teammate shine in a stellar light. Since the return from holidays, Arturo is the arguable MVP. You can’t remember this level of individual performance from a player in a long time. It feels like week after week we say the same thing, but it’ s just that these guys keep outdoing themselves.

In the quarterfinals, it was news that they even lost a set, this is a constant hyperbole, I don’t know how far we’ll get. Today they have been measured against Stupaczuk and Yanguas, who eliminated in the semifinals quite forcefully to Chingotto and Galan. In fact, the first set couldn’t have been more even, but it’s in the details where the key lies.
Pozzoni’s team had two break points, but they didn’t take advantage of either. Arturo and Agus had one, which allowed them to take the first set 6-4. But in the second set, Franco and Mike missed a couple more balls and slowed down a bit, all within normal parameters. A fairly typical situation in an elite professional match. Well then, 6-2 in the blink of an eye. Yet another win for the No. 1’s.
Some facts about an epochal couple
They are marking a before and after, the superiority is total. They have 12 titles out of a possible 17 this season, they have the No. 1 ranking within their grasp. 35 consecutive victories, which translates into 7 tournaments in a row. They haven’t lost for 133 days.

It wouldn’t be unreasonable to say that today Arturo Coello has perpetrated one of the best individual performances in history in a 20×10. 21 winners and only one unforced error, which came on the penultimate point of the match.
As a couple, they have played 45 tournaments, winning the title in 27 of them, which is a 60% success rate. How long will this streak last?
