The European Championships will be the last international competitions of padel this year (apart from the Master of padel to Madrid).

The competition will take place from 2 at 6 December at the club La Playa in the Netherlands near Rotterdam.

In men: France / Italy

Against Italy, the France team is favorite. If, opposite some pairs will be dangerous, they do not have a priori the experience of the French. Italy had not been able to access the team world championships a year ago.

She also did not come across the Belgians or the Portuguese who are together in the big hen with Austria, a little below.

A complicated but surmountable hen for the French.

For women, it will be a little more complicated to get out of the hens. She finds herself in the pool of 4 countries. (Big hen)

It is still difficult to assess the level of the countries against which our French will have to play. They avoid the Portuguese, and it is already a good thing.

But we will have to cross the road of the Italians led by the French tennis champion, captain of the Italian team, and also Italian player qualified for these European championships, Sandrine Testud. The country is experiencing a boom in padel. "Rome became a city of padel with lands a little bit orgyt explains Sandrine Testud. It will therefore be very careful to this Italian team.

Some disappointments

Note that Spain has confirmed that it will not participate in the European Championships. She was the big favorite of these European championships. Too bad for the competition, for the participating countries and the padel in general. It is once again the padel which suffers from international policies linked to padel.

Small disappointment also on the non participation among the men of England. Growing country padel with very dangerous pairs in its ranks. England could have been among the favorites had they been in the competition.
