The adventure ends in the first few rounds for the French competitors in the FIP Silver Damac Dubai, in a particularly challenging tournament where several world top 30 pairs are present.

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 !
