Arnau Ayats (58th world player) and Inigo Jofre (53rd player in the world) have worn national colours different from their country of origin. In fact, the two Spaniards are participating in the World Cup qualifiers for the Asia-Africa region under the flag of the United Arab Emirates.

As we could explain, the phenomenon of players changing nationality is becoming more and more common. In fact, among the Spanish and Argentinian players, if you are not in the world top 30, it is almost impossible to access a selection in the national team. To overcome this problem, some players make radical decisions: change nationality.

Therefore, just before the Greenweez Paris Major, the two Spaniards of origin went to Kuwait, where the qualifications for the World Cup are currently taking place. The competition will end this Friday, September 27, allowing players to return in time for the third Major of the season.

It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
