It's a real sensation: Benjamin Tison, French number 1 and 60th player in the FIP rankings, will stop playing international tournaments!

While he seemed to be in full swing, with a very good performance against Ruiz / Tello with Aitor Garcia in Milan, Benjamin Tison announced on Instagram that he was retiring internationally. A real surprise for French fans who certainly did not imagine such a decision.

But as he explains in his post, the 34-year-old has received “an offer that is hard to refuse”. For the moment, we don’t really know what it is, but we imagine a position of responsibility still in the world of padel. The 2021 French Champion (who also won two Interclubs with All In Padel Lyon) therefore puts an end to his career, and thanks all the players with whom he shared the track, as well as his coaches.

It's a bit of a blow for the French team, which is losing its best player, and for the whole of French padel, which is losing its best male representative at international level.

Having arrived in Spain four years ago, the Parisian will have succeeded in his bet to launch himself into professional padel. He will forever remain the best French player in the history of World Padel Tour among the men (including an eighth-final obtained with the Belgian Clément Geens in Amsterdam), as well as the very first Frenchman to have been part of the men's world Top 60 (best ranking: 57 FIP).

A real page in French padel is turning this Wednesday, December 13, 2023. Will we still see Benjamin again in a few major tournaments, like his friend Johan Bergeron, who announced that he was ending his career a year ago, but who couldn't help but pick up the pala several times this year?
