It was hoped that in 2020, the war would end with the world of padel 2020. But a priori, this will not be the case. The young worlds in Castellon resurfaces and it appears that the conflict between EPA and FIP continues.
Sad institutional setting and anyway: it does not help the promotion of padel.
