Benjamin Tison is interviewed in the clubhouse of his "heart club", AS Mantaise Padel. The 62nd player in the FIP ranking (63 WPT) looks back on his first steps in the padel and on his ambitions with his new partner Mario Huete. Extracts.

“I spent a lot of time in this clubhouse! I spent more time here than at home!”

“In tennis, I really had a weird technique, with a gesture all my own. A little peculiar but it worked pretty well.”

“At the beginning I was a little doubtful of dropping everything at 29 for the padel. "

“I am proud of my career. I managed to tickle the Spaniards and Argentines a bit.”

“The Spaniards continue to progress. There will not be a Frenchman in the top 20 in the world for a good ten years.

“I feel more and more watched, I try to set a good example.”

“Mario Huete is a very powerful player, he is very nice.[…] He has a game profile that I really like.”

“We were number 1 in France together with Adrien but we never managed to be Champions of France. We are going to prepare for that.”
