Commvault, a Tinton Falls-based provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, announced its sponsorship of Agustín Tapia, the joint top-ranked male padel player in the world, known as the “Mozart of Padel.”
“There is a reason Tapia is one of the greatest padel players in history,” said Anna Griffin, chief market officer, Commvault. “When the pressure is on, he’s agile, practiced and orchestrates every move with precision. Commvault does the same — ready to react, strike and help customers rapidly recover their business. In both scenarios, it’s all about resilience.”
Padel’s popularity is growing exponentially around the globe, with 30 million active players in over 130 countries today. While most players are European (59%), the sport is also gaining significant traction in the United States, with over 100,000 active players and 175 clubs nationwide by early 2025.
Tapia started his professional padel career in 2018. In 2024, he was ranked first in the World Padel Tour rankings and has maintained this top position through to 2025. With his team member, Arturo Coello, they currently form the best padel pair in the world.
“I am excited to team up with Commvault,” said Tapia. “I’m proud to have the Commvault logo on my jersey, as together, we will bring the excitement of padel to new audiences while demonstrating the importance of readiness and resilience both on and off the court. I look forward to a notable season and a partnership that brings fans closer to the action.”
