In an exciting final, the world number one duo defeated Juan Lebron and Franco Stupaczuk to demonstrate their supremacy. Coello and Tapia won the match in three sets with scores of 6/3, 7/5, and 6/3 at the Padel Rush Arena.
Coello and Tapia set a strong pace early in the final, making it difficult for their opponents to find openings. They showed off their skills in the first set, winning 6/3 in a flash. In the second set, though, things changed as Lebron and Stupaczuk modified their tactics and found methods to contend with the top-seeded duo. They leveled the match and increased the stakes for the final set after their efforts paid off in the second set, which they won 7/5.
Coello and Tapia recovered their momentum in the pivotal third set, broke their opponents’ service early on and holding onto their lead. They didn’t let the game slip away thanks to their steady play and ability to take advantage of crucial opportunities. With only 30 unforced errors compared to their opponents’ 40 and 66 victories vs Lebron and Stupaczuk’s 51, Coello and Tapia’s effectiveness and consistency were crucial.
In addition to being their first title of the year, their triumph solidifies their place as the world’s best pair. The victory is especially noteworthy because they lost to Lebron and Galan in the same competition the previous year.
