Imperial Spain versus the Netherlands

For its part, Spain did not give the slightest chance to Netherlands, imposing 5-0 with undeniable scores. Among the Spanish players, we find in particular Iciar Montes, former world champion and true legend of women's padel.

While the Spanish team is the favorite, the French have proven they possess the fighting spirit and solidarity needed to try to shake up the world's leading player in senior padel. This would obviously be a feat France wants to achieve.

Events this Saturday from 10 p.m. on the chain FIP YouTube to follow the final live.
