But what the competition left behind was a particular action that occurred in one of the semifinals of the competition, in which Carlos Sanyo Gutiérrez y Francisco Paquito Navarro They completely surrendered to the talent of Tapia, who pulled off an impossible block that immediately went viral.
During a break, the Premier Padel cameras took the conversation between Gutiérrez and Navarro, who practically had no options in the match that was resolved in just 43 minutes, since Tapia and Coello won 6-0 and 6-4, against two former number one.

We are against a weak player who cannot be played (by Coello) and the other who has a quality that is… Messi (by Tapia), crazy. The other is Messi”.
