Agustin Tapia Nievas

Agustin Tapia Nievas is a professional padel player from Argentina, aged 27, standing 1.79 metres tall. Born on 24 July 1999 in Argentina, he plays on the backhand side and is currently ranked 1. He partners Arturo Coello Manso.

Agustín Tapia Nievas is known across the padel world as "el Mozart del pádel," a nickname that captures the improvisational flair that defines his game. Tapia turned professional in 2019, pairing first with Fernando Belasteguín, and spent the following years rotating through some of the sport's biggest names, including Pablo Lima and Sanyo Gutiérrez, before teaming up with Arturo Coello in 2023.

That partnership has rewritten the record books. Tapia and Coello have won more than 39 titles together, surpassing historic pairings like Lebrón-Galán and Belasteguín-Lima. In October 2025, Tapia claimed the Rotterdam title for his 50th professional championship, a milestone that put him level with Alejandro Galán for the most titles among active players.

Coaches and rivals alike describe Tapia's game as built on unpredictability rather than raw power. As coach Juan Martín Díaz said he makes a difficult sport look easy, while Sebastián Nerone has described his approach as playing "to sow doubt in the opponent."
