A partnership built to last
Arturo Coello, current world number one, has made clear that his biggest ambition is to finish his career alongside Agustín Tapia. “One of my dreams would be to retire with Agustín,” Coello said in an interview with Bandeja , Premier Padel’s official podcast. In an era where pair changes are common, his declaration stands out as a commitment to stability.
Long-term vision
Coello explained that he and Tapia have already spoken about extending their partnership for many more years. He even imagined scenarios where they continue together until they are 30, 32, or 34 years old, provided results and motivation remain strong. For the Spaniard, the challenge itself is a source of inspiration.
Dominance at the top
The Golden Boys have finished three consecutive seasons as world number one and are leading again in 2026, aiming for a fourth. Their consistency has defied expectations, showing resilience even when rivals like Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto pushed them to new limits.
Collective success over individual glory
Despite chasing records, Coello emphasized that the project with Tapia comes first. He admitted he would not mind if Tapia ended his career with more titles, as long as most of them were won together. This outlook highlights his belief in the collective over personal statistics.
Future ambitions
At just 24, Coello still has individual goals, including becoming the Spanish player with the most seasons finished as world number one. Yet his motivation remains tied to the partnership. After years of success, he insists there is still room to grow, new records to chase, and enough passion to imagine a duo lasting well into the next decade.
