Kristina Clément: I discovered the padel by agreeing to be a driver for the Fed Cup in July 2006 in my club in Cagnes sur Mer. Two years later, I found myself competing in my first world championship. padel… Who could believe it? It all started with a great meeting with the physiotherapist of the French Fed Cup (tennis) team where he told me, at the end of 2007, to look for a partner for his wife Karin at the padel with the aim of participating in the next world padel in Calgary… At the beginning of 2008, I landed on the courts of padel of the Set Club in Aix en Provence and began training with Karin… In 2008 and 2010, we reached a great 4th place in the world, ie the best places ever reached at the time (in 2006, France had finished 6th) and we became the first amateur nation behind the 3 professional nations of Spain, Argentina and Brazil. In 2012 in Cancun, we obtained the first world medal for France in Padel. Recently, I take care of the new club of padel in Beausoleil, Le Royal Riviera Padel Club

Franck Binisti: I discovered the padel at the Pyramides (78) 5 or 6 years ago. But serious health issues kept me out of the sport for a few years. The padel saved me since failing to resume tennis and squash, I was able to do sport again by playing padel. My many trips to Spain have allowed me to learn a lot about this sport. I trained, materialized moreover by a monitor of the Madrid federation, and it is through these trips that I fell in love with this sport. I still play at the Pyramides club. But the weather doesn't allow us to play for a good part of the year. So, we go to the south of France or Spain. Our goal: to develop this sport in France.

Frederic Bertucat-Martinez: I am very passionate about padel. Certain that the padel in France one day or another will explode, I try to bring my experience and my skills through Padel Magazine, the first site of padel in France. Frenchman living in Madrid for more than 10 years, the padel this is my world and has been working in it for over 10 years. From my studies, the yellow ball was the center of my concerns since I studied at La Sorbonne (Paris I) on the History of the Evolution of Tennis Equipment. This led to freelancing for Tennis Magazine in the Equipment section, then to Decathlon as Tennis product manager and Padel then director of international development at Vision /Padel Lobb. Padel Magazine is a huge opportunity for France but also for French-speaking countries. All with Padel Magazine and padel French!

Laurent Single: Because it is always nice to have a Belgian on duty in your team “once”, I join Padel Magazine in order to provide information related to current events Padel from the Plat Pays.
