Alejandro Galán, one of the top-ranked padel players in the world, recently addressed the possibility of teaming up with Arturo Coello or Agustín Tapia in the future. While the idea has sparked curiosity among fans, Galán clarified that no such plans are currently being considered.
“It’s not on the table, but with Coello, I’ve played in the National Team and we’ve gotten along well. And with Tapia, even though we’re both backhand players, I think we’re so versatile that we could play together without a fixed position.” — Alejandro Galán, via Marca
His comments reflect both respect and openness toward future collaborations, highlighting the adaptability of modern padel players.
Current Partnership with Chingotto
As of now, Galán is competing alongside Federico Chingotto. The duo has shown strong chemistry on court, combining Galán’s power and tactical depth with Chingotto’s speed and defensive prowess. Their partnership has brought renewed energy to the circuit and continues to challenge the top pairings in major tournaments.
Versatility and Team Dynamics
Galán’s remarks about Tapia suggest a shift in traditional padel roles. The idea of two backhand players forming a successful team challenges conventional positioning and emphasizes the evolving nature of the sport.

Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how these relationships evolve, especially as team dynamics continue to shape the future of professional padel.
