Coello and Tapia Win Just 2 of 5 Tournaments in 2025

Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia are having their worst start to a season as a partnership, winning only 2 of the 5 Premier Padel tournaments played so far in 2025. The stat sounds alarming until you look closer: they have reached the final in every single one of those five events. That is an elite floor that most pairs on tour would sign for without thinking twice.

Jorge Martínez, coach of Coello (nicknamed 'Chingalán'), has been open about the situation. The pair is not in crisis. What is happening is that the competition at the top has tightened dramatically. Pairs like Lebron and Galan, or Lamperti and Chingotto, are converting more when it counts in those deciding moments of finals.

For Coello and Tapia, the issue seems to sit in specific high-pressure sequences inside finals rather than in overall consistency. They are still generating the chances. A 40% win rate from 5 finals is cold. But reaching 5 finals from 5 tournaments is the part that gets buried in the headline.

The real question is whether this is a tactical problem that Martínez can fix with adjustments, or a mental rhythm issue that resolves itself over a longer stretch of matches. History with this pair suggests the latter. They have shown before that a slow patch gets followed by a dominant run.

Not a slump. More like a ceiling they need to break through again.
