Major in Rome: Tapia and Coelho triumph over Mourinho and Totti

Tapia Coelho: It’s their year. The Argentine and the Spaniard, having monopolized the first half of the World Padel Tour season (nine wins from as many entries), also triumphed in the Premier Padel: they are the leaders in Rome. Again, there is nothing to do for the idol of the Italian public, Francisco Navarro: Paquito, like last year (against LeBron and Galan), stops in the final. Sevilla, paired with Chingotto (in 2022 he was with De Nino), dragged the Central on Saturday night against Belasteguin and Yanguas. They battled it out in the final, but Coelho and Tapia respected the underdogs: 7-5 7-6 final score.

Several stars of Foro Italico were also present on the final day. Francesco Totti, Daniele De Rossi (also present on Saturday) and Marco Materazzi found themselves right next to each other, a trio reminiscent of the 2006 World Cup. Totti was in the company of Noemi, because all of them, paddle boarding is a real passion. And for the men’s final, Jose Mourinho also made an appearance, and is now a regular presence at the Forum after appearing at Internacional d’Italia to watch Djokovic’s match against Echeverri.
