The risk of contracting Covid-19 while playing padel at 4, and respecting a certain number of precautions such as not clapping your partner's hand is it really almost zero? This is not for the moment not the opinion of the Spanish Government which does not provide for the resumption of padel than in phase 3 of de-containment.

In France, FFT experts also ruled against an early resumption of the padel. What is it really like? In any case, this statement by the Director General should bring water to the mill for all Spaniards who try to make themselves heard to resume the padel as quickly as possible...

Could these initiatives lead the Spanish Government to reverse its decision and finally authorize the padel at 4 in phase 2? A measure that could have its influence on a resumption of the WPT. In this case, a new question would arise: if the padel resumed in camera, would the spectators agree to pay for the retransmission of the matches?
