Born in Catamarca, Argentina, in 1999, Tapia showed prodigious racket skills at a young age.
Left home at 15 to train intensively in Rosario, later moving to Spain to compete against the global elite.
Turned professional at age 18 and made history as one of the youngest players to win a World Padel Tour (WPT) tournament.
Shared the court with legendary veterans early on, including Juan Martín Díaz, Pablo Lima, and Fernando Belasteguín.
In 2023, he teamed up with Arturo Coello to win the Vigo Open (WPT), a victory that propelled him to the top of the world rankings at the age of just 23 – a position he still holds today.
Set a historic professional padel record during the 2024 season with a remarkable 47-match winning streak.
He won two FIP World Cups with Argentina in 2022 (Dubai) and 2024 (Doha).
He has won 66 titles on the major professional circuits in the history of padel:
22 World Padel Tour (1 Master Final in Mahón in 2020, 1 Master and 18 Opens)
44 Premier Padel Tour (1 Premier Final in 2025, 11 Majors, 21 P1s and 11 P2s).
Along with Arturo Coello, he was No. 1 in the FIP Rankings for four seasons: 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.
