International Padel Federation's joint male World Number One, Tapia brings resilience to the popular sport, just as Commvault brings resilience to the enterprise

TINTON FALLS, N.J., Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, today announced its sponsorship of Agustín Tapia, the joint top-ranked male padel player in the world.

Tapia is famous for his unbreakable resilience on the court. Called the 'Mozart of Padel,' this title reflects the 26-year-old Argentinian's ability to orchestrate complex plays under pressure, turning potential defeats into victories through masterful preparation and execution. Similarly, Commvault's platform orchestrates unified cyber resilience, helping organizations globally rapidly recover from cyberattacks and outages in such a way that people, processes, and technology can work in sync.

"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."

"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."

Perfect Symbiosis of Tennis and Squash

Padel is a fast-paced racket sport invented in Mexico in 1969 that blends elements of tennis and squash. It is usually played as a doubles game on a court that is about a third of the size of a tennis court. The court's glass and mesh walls allow the ball to bounce off them in a manner similar to squash, creating extended rallies and strategic play. Players use solid, stringless paddles and a slightly under-inflated tennis ball.

The sport'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.

Commvault's collaboration with Tapia aims to bring the thrill of this game to a broader audience and serves as an opportunity to educate an untapped global fanbase about the importance of resilience. This critical knowledge is applicable to fans and professionals alike, whether on the padel court or in an isolated Commvault Cleanroom, helping enterprises prepare for and, if necessary, recover from cyberattacks.
