Arturo didn’t play cricket for the first time until he was 7 years old. At the time, the activity was also combined with tennis and football. Later, we have learned that Arturo chose cricket at the age of 10, setting aside other activities, although not fully committed, as he continued to see cricket as an activity he loved and did so in order to gain Good experience. time.
Even so, Arturo Coelo’s numerous achievements in the junior division showed that he could be a great player one day.
Finally, at the age of 16, Arturo Coello took the sport of padel seriously.

Their multiple round of 16 appearances have not gone unnoticed by the public or sporting pundits. He’s only eighteen, but he’s already starting to show his extraordinary qualities.
At the end of that great 2020, Arturo was voted “Player of the Apocalypse” by the Spanish padel media at the World Padel Awards.
Thanks to this remarkable break-in, Miguel Lamperti found him to play for him at the start of next season (2021). It was with the Argentine legend that his talents really began to shine and he stunned the cricketing world with his performances.
He later also played alongside Javi Ruiz, defeating world No. 1 Juan LeBlanc and Alejandro Garland at the Malaga Open, and with Javi Ruiz Together they made it to the semi-finals.
In September of the same year, due to the injury of Javi Ruiz, Coelo had to change his partner and partnered with Alejandro Arroyo, and together with Arroyo, he reached the semi-finals of the Lugo Open and won the Defeated Lima and Tapia in the quarterfinals.
Arturo progressed little by little, becoming an increasingly mature and well-rounded player. The range of his shots became wider and more varied. The Spanish national team selected him for the World Padel Championships in November, which he eventually won and became world champion at 19.

At the end of the season, Arturo confirmed his split from Javi Ruiz.
In the 2022 season, Arturo joins the ranks of the most successful player in history, Fernando Belasteguín, who saw and decided to bet on the On young Coello, who was up and coming on the big stage.
Together they started off in the best possible way, winning their first World Padel Tour title in Miami and becoming the youngest players in history at 19 years, 11 months and 19 days (coincidentally, this record The previous holders were Augustin Tapia, his current partner, 20 years, 1 month and 15 days, and Belasteguín). He later repeated the milestone in Madrid and Amsterdam. In addition, they ended a great season by winning the Premier Padel Championship in Monterrey.
But when Arturo really shines comes in 2023, with Agustín Tapia.
At the beginning of the season, they have been overwhelming. No one has been able to defeat them yet, and their dominance seems unbreakable. In addition to Tapia’s talent and magic, there is Coelo’s strength and power, making them a remarkable pair whose limits are unknown!
In this 2023, they have won it all. They have already won the first seven tournaments of the year (Abu Dhabi Masters, La Rioja Open, Chile Open, Paraguay Open, Granada Open, Brussels Open and Vigo Open), achieving With 32 consecutive victories and only lost 3 sets, they currently rank first in the standings. Breaking the world rankings held by LeBron and Garland for more than three years, becoming the youngest couple in the history of the World Padel Tour to achieve this goal.
They broke all historical records for season starts in the modern padel era. Plus, everything points to them continuing to increase that number this year.
It is therefore a pity that Coelo and Tapia will lose the first place in the Danish Padel Open (May 17-21) due to Arturo’s overload, which they Only lasted so long. a week.
We can’t wait to see them back on the field!
