Eric Babolat
Babolat, the tricolor brand of the world number 1 Juan lebron give at Europe 1 his definition of padel. A nice definition with a touch of humor.
“In tennis we play and maybe after that we will have a drink with our partner, while in padel we have a drink and then maybe we'll go play padel. "
About the president of Babolat, Eric Babolat, on the radio, made talk in the middle of padel. The brand that sponsors world number 1 Juan Lebrón, Rafa Nadal, current world number 2 in tennis and good tennis player padel, has made itself heard again in recent days by sponsoring the international circuit of the APT Padel Tour.
What to think of Eric's words Babolat ? This is a question that has been asked by some Internet users. Some had fun by congratulating the President on Babolat to speak padel on the radio. Others were amazed to hear these words on the padel. Here is what we heard:
"The padel isn´t really a sport like tennis?
Tall the people who play padel only get together for a drink? ”
Obviously, Eric's words Babolat are to be taken with the second degree. Babolat is a brand very invested in the padel, proof in particular with the sponsorship of world number 1 Juan Lebron, and champion of France Bastien Blanqué. This comment should be seen as a way of saying that padel, as in squash by the way, we like to meet up after a good game.
Many tennis players who play padel say they find an atmosphere lost in tennis. One of the strengths of our sport is friendliness. Le padel includes a strong social dimension, which allows the meeting of new people, from all sports, and from all backgrounds.
But whether in France, in Spain (where the number of padel exceeds the number of tennis players) or elsewhere, the padel is also a very technical and physical sport when practiced at a good level, and obviously more than an activity as a pretext for a drink. (Well, it may depend on who… :))
The physical and mental benefits of the practice du padel, tennis and all other sports are very numerous.
This passage from the president of Babolat you can find it in the 17th minute of the report below.

Au Padel, we always have a drink after each game
More rarely after tennis
I was watching a doubles match yesterday
I timed the 4 players. After 10 minutes, 2 exchanges of more than 2 strokes per player, how many Padel ?
It is not a question of opposing but the differences are real But at the amateur level, in terms of playing time, there is no picture
Cheers
