After defeating Mike Yanguas and Franco Stupaczuk in the semifinals, Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia shared their thoughts ahead of the Brussels P2 final against Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger. The Spanish-Argentine duo emphasized the importance of consistency and teamwork. “We are happy with the match, with the work of this week, and for recovering the regularity that many said we lacked. I think we are once again playing very well,” Coello stated, highlighting their satisfaction with reaching their 20th final together.
The challenge of facing Lebrón and Augsburger
Tapia acknowledged the strength of their upcoming opponents, noting their intensity and unpredictability. “Juan and Leo have shown they are capable of playing matches at a very high level. They live every moment of the game with great intensity, which makes them dangerous. With the confidence they gained today, tomorrow they will be even tougher,” Tapia explained. The pair underlined that preparing for such a contest requires focus and adaptability, as Lebrón and Augsburger possess multiple weapons and strong defensive skills.
Overcoming difficulties in the semifinal
Coello admitted that the start against Yanguas and Stupaczuk was complicated, with errors costing them an early break. However, they managed to raise their level as the match progressed. “We knew that if it wasn’t in the first set, in the second we would get a break. We finished the set playing better than them and in the second we were calmer and maintained that level,” he said. Their ability to adjust mid-match proved decisive in securing the victory.
Teamwork and humility as strengths
Tapia stressed the importance of their bond and collective mentality. “We know each other very well, we have a very cohesive team, and that makes it easy to work through difficult moments. There is no ego battle, and that makes everything simpler. It’s a weapon that is hard to find today, and we are lucky to have it,” he remarked. Their unity and humility continue to be key factors in their sustained success.
Both players expressed excitement about competing in another final, valuing the achievement despite their long run of success. “We are very happy with the work we’ve been doing for years. When tough times come, we face them together as we always have. We are very happy about another final, valuing it enormously, and tomorrow we will enjoy it,” Tapia concluded. The duo now turns their attention to preparing for a demanding showdown against Lebrón and Augsburger in Brussels.
