Let's take this famous phrase from the comics Les Inconnus to launch this article. A little humor doesn't hurt, especially during this time of confinement. Here are some excuses padel that you should like.

This is a compilation of the best excuses we have come across on and off the slopes of padel. There must be more, and we'll leave it to you to complete the list.

Since we are all confined until further notice, we have time to refine our apologies. It's up to you to choose the ones that suit you best.

My partner or my opponents

  • My partner sucked
  • This ball was for you, “partner”
  • I wasn’t ready when it served…
  • I had not seen that he was left-handed
  • Its service is not authorized. He has the right to do that?
  • They played me all the balls on the body
  • He’s sure he’s training in secret
  • He deceived me by telling me that he did not know how to make a backhand
  • We had a hard time getting along
  • He’s sure he’s been pro
  • My partner didn’t let me play
  • My partner wouldn't let me see the trail
  • He was playing in such a bizarre way that it disturbed me
  • I didn’t want to play it all and this is what happened
  • It's always the same, when I'm the best of 4, I lose

The gear
