A logical progression, driven by:

  • sa  victory at the FIP Bronze Houten 
  • and especially  the lack of points to defend

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
