The French Champion of padel 2018, Bastien Blanqué, is in a way a UFO of the padel. He, the modest tennis player, the soccer player, is considered one of the best players in padel French. And this while he does not have a past of very good players, or even good tennis players. An atypical profile.
In the midst of all these great tennis players, there is me. (To laugh).
I certainly played tennis being small, but by the age of 11 years, I did not pursue.
I then played 8 years in football as goalkeeper.
At the age of 15 I started Padel in Blagnac, then I had good results with a participation in the World Championships in 2012 in Cancun.
At 18 I quit football to devote myself to Padel and at 21 years old direction Spain.
So we will say that I have an atypical profile, even more in France where we observe that overall, tops French players, are current or former very good tennis players.
