The Puerto Cabello final was held yesterday, capturing the attention of the public. However, one event generated as much interest, if not more: a little exhibition match between Andre Agassi and David Beckham. This friendly duel shone as much as the competition Premier Padel herself.
On the padel court, Andre Agassi demonstrated remarkable skill, which surprised no one. Facing him, the ex-footballer David Beckham, although used to the padel courts, had to bow to the talent of the American. Despite a fierce defense from the Englishman, Agassi took the upper hand.
For David Beckham, this match was the opportunity to realize a childhood dream:
“My dream list highlight: as a child, I had the racket, the way-too-big shorts, the looks and the hairstyle, and now I had the opportunity to meet the man in person. Wow, what an incredible morning and I even got to admire this famous backhand.”
The Instagram accounts of the two stars total closer to 82 million fans!
