Agustin Tapia and Arturo Coello’s #1 comeback

Their victory against Mike Yanguas and Franco Stupaczuk, seeded number 4, allowed them to win their third Major of the year, reaffirming their supremacy in the circuit and extending their impressive undefeated streak of 40 consecutive victories, which began last July.

The duel got off to a challenging start for the current FIP ranking leaders, as Yanguas and Stupaczuk took the first set 6-4 with an almost perfect game. However, Coello and Tapia showed their resilience and reaction capacity, dominating the second set with a convincing 6-1 and closing the match with a solid 6-2 in the final set. This comeback allowed them to lift another trophy in what is already a historic season.

After the match, Agustin Tapia reflected on the joint effort and highlighted the importance of fighting until the end: “I don’t know very well what we did, but the only thing I know is that we fought. Once again we showed that we are here to fight for everything. This tournament is very special for me, I think this week I realised that it’s my favourite of the year’.

For his part, Arturo Coello highlighted the excitement of competing in front of a passionate crowd and the mental strength of the team: “We started the match with a lot of complications against two players who were very plugged in. We said to ourselves: ‘We have to do something’, and although our physical condition was not 100%, we found other reasons to fight: family, effort, passion and the people who supported us from the stands. It was our duty to put on a good show.

This title not only reaffirms Coello and Tapia‘s dominance, but also demonstrates their ability to face challenges and stand firm in the most complicated moments. In a year full of success, their consistency and quality make them undisputed leaders in world padel.
