La  French Tennis Federation  launches in 2025 a series of six episodes entitled  " Generation Padel » , dedicated to the  new tricolor generation . These videos, broadcast on  YouTube , offer a unique look at the training of young padel hopefuls. The first episode focuses on  Lucas Pillon .

Originally from the south of France,  Lucas Pillon  made the bold choice, just  16 years , to settle in  Bordeaux   (Big Padel Bordeaux / Jet Academy) to follow a  project structured around padel He divides his daily life between studies, morning training and independent living. A commitment welcomed by his supervisors, who praise his  maturity ,  sense of organization  and  adaptability .

With a past of  good tennis player , he has been involved in a  gradual reconversion  towards padel, a process that requires  unlearn certain technical automatisms .

The medium-term objective: to join the biggest tournaments like the Paris Major, with the hope of one day joining the  world top 100 .

The next meeting will highlight  Jeremy Robert  et  Tom Basso .
