An arbitration error forces Tapia and Coello to win the same paddle tennis match twice

From the funny movie Although it was more drama for them. Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia they were forced win twice in the same game become champions Chilean Padel Openin which this pair defeated the number one, Lebrón and Galán.

The first set was for Coell and Tapia 6-4. They also led 5-3 in the second and 30-30 in the ninth game. AND they managed to score 40-30. But the referee made a mistake in marking the points and made the score 30-40 in favor of their rivals. No one noticed the mistake because the goal was very clear in favor of the Spanish-Argentine couple. The match continued and they reached a new point, thus winning the sixth game, and thus the match. Rackets in the air and celebration. Everything is normal. Until Alejandro Galán warned the referee that the score was 40-40. That’s when everyone, including the judge, realized the previous mistake. However the regulation of paddle tennis is blunt and it shows that once the referee puts a point on the scoreboard, there is no way back. So the match continued with 5-3 and 40-40. He touched the punto de oro, which the Spaniards captured.

30/30- Arturo wins and takes the ball for the title. They get the point, but… beware. The referee awarded 30/40 when he should have said 40/30.

Galán accuses him and it’s a golden ball!

From that moment on, the lack of concentration of Coell and Tapia was noticeable, and the opponents forced a third set, after the second won with 6-7. And if they saw themselves as champions, the Spanish-Argentinians had to put up a good fight, because in the third quarter they won, but by a very narrow 7-5. In this way, they managed to win number 1 twice in the same match, which is not usual to see in a paddle tennis match.

So Coello and Tapia continue to surprise after being together for only a month and winning three consecutive events on the World Padel Tour.
