A bit like Pat Rafter, former professional tennis player Agnieszka Radwanska recently made her debut on the FIP Tour. The Polish woman talks about this experience during an interview with FIP.
A dynamic and fun sport
“I had started playing (padel) before the pandemic began. A year and a half ago I started again, thanks also to Marta (Domachowska). I find it a dynamic and fun sport, I play whenever I can, even twice a week!”
Padel, an easy sport?
“It’s very difficult! In terms of ball touch, having played tennis helps, volleys are not a problem. The problem is playing with the glass, and then I would like to hit hard every time but I can’t. Padel is a sport that never allows you to relax during the point.”
“I play without pressure and without expectations. With Marta we were in Alicante to play a beautiful tournament, where we won a match, and we also had the opportunity to enjoy Spain. I also like being able to watch the Spanish players: it's great to see them and learn from those who are the masters of padel.”
When is the next tournament?
“I would still like to play on the FIP Tour, because padel is a sport that I love and that is growing all over the world. If my schedule allows, I will be back on the slopes soon!”
