Under the FIP Rise of Canet-en-Roussillon, we interviewed two young Catalan players: Sergi Pifarré and Aleix Fuertes.

If the two men, aged 21 and 19 respectively, lost today against the French pair Pes / Pelegri (6/7 6/1 6/4), they still agreed to go to our microphone .

Sergi Pifarré (N144 Catalonia): “A rather special profile”

I have a somewhat special profile in these tournaments because I only play international tournaments during the holidays!

With Aleix, it was the first time that we played an international tournament together. We faced good French players, it came down to very little.

Originally, I am a football player. I played until I was 18 then quit due to injury and headed to the padel. Like football, it is a team sport. I have been playing for 3 years padel, for me it's really a hobby. In other words, I don't want to be a professional padel, but I train anyway!

As a player on the right, my favorite player is Sanyo Gutiérrez, I love the way he plays.

Aleix Fuertes (N205 Catalonia): “A first in an FIP tournament”

I had never played against the French until now, but we know that the general level is increasing, in France as everywhere.

Before I get down to padel, I did many other sports including rugby and tennis, but the padel took on a much larger role! So that today I want to become a professional player of padel ! I train for it all year round at the academy of padel of Gimeno, near Barcelona.

For me the future is Premier Padel. I believe the world Padel It's all over, but if it continues I'll do a few tournaments. I think it's the right time to get into the padel, but maybe it's getting harder and harder because there are always new players.

My favorite player, as a player on the left, is Ale Galan, I love his style of play!

I would like to end by saying that this tournament is superb, at the beach like that, it's brilliant! We don't really have that in Spain.

Xan is a fan of padel. But also rugby! And his posts are just as punchy. Physical trainer of several padel, he unearths atypical posts or deals with topical subjects. It also gives you some tips to develop your physique for the padel. Clearly, he imposes his offensive style as on the field of padel !
