Arturo Coello
Power and precision in modern padel
Arturo Coello has rapidly emerged as a transformative force in the world of professional padel, the racquet sport that blends elements of tennis and squash.
Redefining a sport
Hailing from Spain, the birthplace of padel, Arturo Coello is known for his aggressive left-handed playing style and commanding presence at the net.
Ranked World No. 1 on multiple occasions and winner of major international tournaments, his achievements have set a new benchmark for the modern game.
Game changer
Born in Valladolid, Castile and León, in 2002, Arturo Coello Manso began making a name for himself in padel at a young age.
From the outset, his playing style stood out: an imposing physical presence and a strategic approach. Although a left-hander, he often plays on the right side of the court, a tactical placement that allows him to maximize his powerful finishes. Media and fans alike have dubbed him “El Rey” (The King), a reflection of his formidable influence on the court.
A major turning point came early in his professional ascent when he partnered with the legendary Fernando Belasteguín. The alliance offered Coello invaluable experience plus the opportunity to hone his competitive instincts and deepen his understanding of the game.
In 2022, Coello became the youngest player ever to win a World Padel Tour tournament just days before he turned 20 – a milestone that confirmed his early promise.
In the 2025 Premier Padel season, Coello consolidated his position at the pinnacle of the sport, securing multiple P1 and Major tournament victories, including the Premier Padel Finals, Dubai P1, Qatar Major and Alpine Paris Major
Coello has also demonstrated exceptional consistency, boasting a career win rate exceeding 90 per cent, with more than 220 victories in his first 250 matches.
Arturo Coello became a Rolex Testimonee in 2026.
