The sponsorship seeks to increase padel’s awareness throughout the world, particularly in developing nations like the US, where the sport is quickly gaining popularity.
An emerging sport with widespread appeal
In recent years, padel—a fast-paced racket sport that combines aspects of squash and tennis—has grown astronomically. Its popularity is still growing, with over 30 million players active in 130 countries. Elite skill and creativity are on display on the Premier Padel circuit, and collaborations like Tapia’s with Commvault are crucial to enhancing the sport’s visibility in both culture and business.
Tapia’s partnership with Commvault promises exciting on-court performances as well as a more general message about perseverance in life, business, and sport as the new season draws near.
According to Anna Griffin, Chief Market Officer of Commvault, “There is a reason Tapia is one of the greatest padel players in history.” “When the pressure is on, he’s agile, practiced, and orchestrates every move with precision.
