Italian daily  Corriere dello Sport  has taken the turn of padel. Today it is with the Italian-Argentine  Andrés Britos  for the Corriere to talk about his outlook for 2021.

Padel culture in Argentina

“I discovered padel as a child, following my father to the city's clubs where, with other children, I played outside the "cage" trying to imitate the adults.”

“When I was 12 I started taking classes with my brother and some of my friends and when I was 15 I competed in my first junior world championship in Spain. I became a professional player at 20, participating in the World Padel Tour for the first time five years later. ”

On the Italian tour with Tapia

“I am truly honored to participate in the  Italian Serie A Championship , which I have been arguing for 4 years now. This year, I will wear the jersey of  Magic Padel in Rome , in the company of Agustin Tapia . "

“With my dual nationality, playing in Italy fills me with pride because my grandmother was Italian. I am also lucky enough to be part of the Italian national team, with which I participated in the world championships in Paraguay, then the European championships in Spain, until 2019, when we played a epic finale  against France in Rome , and obtained the title of  European champions . For me and my teammates, it was a very moving moment, where we felt the strong affection of the public. It is an indelible memory and I never thought I could live such an exciting experience ”.

Express development in Italy

“What impresses me is the speed at which this sport has developed in Italy. Every time I come back to this country, I am in awe of the number of facilities and the speed with which they are built! This shows success not only  in terms of sport  but also in terms of  economic returns  and business opportunities. ”

“The president of the  FIP ,  Luigi Carraro , does an excellent job to grow the movement in Italy, both professionally and internationally ”.

Promising 2021

“Speaking of the WPT, my goal will be to  be among the 28 best pairs . With my national teammates, we pursue the dream of  participate in the world championships  and to position ourselves among the top four teams in the world. ”

“On a personal level, I am about to present a  new development project  which involves Italy and which will contribute to  make this sport even more important. "
