Agustín Tapia, the world’s number one padel player, has once again expressed his admiration for the unwavering support of Argentine fans ahead of playing the lodal P1 Padel event. The Mozart of Catamarca, as he is affectionately known, has been a standout figure in the sport, showcasing his brilliance on the court and cementing his place at the top of the rankings.
Tapia’s journey to the pinnacle of padel has been remarkable. From his early days in San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca, he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming the youngest player to win a Master Final on the World Padel Tour. His relentless drive and technical mastery have earned him a reputation as one of the most exciting players to watch.
Throughout his career, Tapia has emphasized the importance of the Argentine public, stating that their passion and dedication never waver. Whether competing in local tournaments or on the international stage, he has always felt the energy and encouragement of his home country.
This is what he said: “I don’t come here often. I always like to come for the holidays. But I don’t come here often. It’s not always possible, because we have a pretty tight schedule. But now we’re here, in a tournament that Argentine players look forward to all year , so we’re enjoying ourselves. It’s going to be a great week. We hope it’s packed; it’s a pretty big stadium (almost 16,000 people), but the Argentine public never fails us.”
With an impressive 91.5% winning percentage and a string of victories across major tournaments, Tapia continues to dominate the sport. His partnership with Arturo Coello has further strengthened his game, making him a formidable force in padel.
