We've all known this, for quite a while now, the padel knows its heyday. A phenomenon that has been amplified since the deconfinement last year.

We have seen that many former athletes have taken to it in recent months.

Most of them are ex-soccer players who traded in cleats for the pala (Roberto Mancini, Francesco Totti, Sylvain Wiltord, Zinedine Zidane... and even very recently Robert Pires and Florent Sinama Pongolle, seen at Padel Horizon

But the padel does not find its new fans only in the world of the round ball.

Indeed if a certain Arnaud Di Pasquale converted to this sport by becoming the Director of the mission Padel, he's not the only member of the tennis family to enjoy 20 × 10.

Gael Monfils, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Andy Murray, Arnaud Clément, Alex Corretja Thomas Johansson, David Goffin, David Ferrer… The players and former tennis players are finally very numerous to feast on the slopes of padel.

A new member of the family Padel ?

On the occasion of an interview for CLIQUE, Daniel Medvedev, the world number 2 in tennis and winner of the 2021 US Open looks back on his career, his life and his hobbies. At the microphone of Mouloud Achour, the Russian confides in his goals and his way of seeing life.

While evoking the fact that he does not know how to play a sport other than tennis, the Canal + interviewer asked him what about the padel, and what would he do to Cyril Hanouna.

Recall that the presenter of TPMP is a very big fan of padel and that he crisscrosses the Ile-de-France clubs to feast with his friends who are mostly former tennis players.

The Moscow player smiled and replied that he did not know how to play padel, and that it was possible that Cyril Hanouna could beat him, but that for their first game he wouldn't give him any gifts. Here he is warned.

And you would rather bet Hanouna ou Medvedev ?
