Agustín Tapia Partners with Commvault for 2025-26 Seasons

Much like Agustín Tapia brings unparalleled resilience to the burgeoning sport of Padel, Commvault delivers robust cyber resilience and data protection, offering a synergy that extends beyond the court.

TINTON FALLS, N.J., Sept. 10, 2025 — Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a key player in the cyber resilience and data protection sector, particularly for hybrid cloud environments, has announced a sponsorship deal with Agustín Tapia, a joint top-ranked male padel player. This move signals Commvault’s strategic alignment with a sport experiencing explosive global growth and its inherent themes of agility and resilience.

Tapia, known as the ‘Mozart of Padel’ for his ability to strategically navigate high-pressure situations, mirrors Commvault’s core value proposition: orchestrating complex responses to threats and ensuring rapid recovery. This resonates with the increasing need for businesses to quickly rebound from cyberattacks.

“Tapia’s success is built on agility, precise execution, and relentless resilience – attributes that Commvault embodies in the cyber resilience solutions we provide,” says Anna Griffin, Chief Market Officer at Commvault. “This partnership underscores the alignment between high-performance sports and high-stakes data protection, highlighting the importance of proactive preparation and rapid response.”

Padel’s Rising Tide: A Global Phenomenon

Originating in Mexico in 1969, Padel’s unique blend of tennis and squash has fueled its meteoric rise. Characterized by fast-paced rallies played on a court enclosed by glass and mesh walls, Padel emphasizes strategic gameplay and adaptability. The use of solid paddles and a specialized ball further differentiates it from traditional racket sports.

The sport now boasts over 30 million active players across more than 130 countries. While Europe currently dominates the Padel scene, the United States is witnessing a surge in popularity, with over 100,000 players and nearly 200 clubs established across the nation. This rapid expansion signals a significant market opportunity for both Padel-related businesses and companies seeking to connect with a dynamic demographic.

Commvault’s sponsorship of Tapia is poised to capitalize on this burgeoning interest, extending brand awareness and engaging a global audience. Furthermore, it allows them to directly communicate the importance of resilience in today’s digital age. This message translates directly to Commvault’s expertise in aiding businesses defend against and recover from cyber threats through solutions such as Commvault Cleanroom, offering a secure environment for data recovery in the event of attacks.
