Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia delivered another commanding performance at the Valladolid Premier Padel P2, defeating Javi Leal and Fran Guerrero 6-4, 6-4 in the semi-finals to book their place in the final. The top-seeded duo showed composure and precision in a match that, while competitive, never slipped from their control.
The opening set was tightly contested, with both pairs holding serve until 5-4, when Coello and Tapia capitalized on a crucial break opportunity to close it out. In the second set, they repeated the formula—breaking at the key moment and maintaining their lead with clinical efficiency. Notably, they did not face a single break point throughout the match, underlining their dominance on serve and their ability to manage pressure.
Leal and Guerrero, the only unseeded team to reach the semi-finals, fought valiantly and displayed the aggressive style that has made them one of the breakout pairs of the season. Despite their loss, their run in Valladolid—including wins over higher-ranked opponents—cements their growing reputation on the Premier Padel circuit.
For Coello, the victory was especially meaningful, as he returns to the final in his hometown of Valladolid. The crowd at Plaza Mayor, fully behind their local hero, erupted in celebration as the pair sealed the win.
Tapia and Coello now advance to face Juan Lebrón and Franco Stupaczuk in what promises to be a thrilling final. With both teams in top form, the title clash is set to be a showcase of power, finesse, and high-stakes drama on one of padel’s most iconic stages.
