Le padel is present on the Philippe-Chatrier court, and it is historic. Arnaud Di Pasquale, Director of Greenweez Paris Premier Padel Major (G3PM), speaks for Padel Magazine.
Padel Magazine : Everything happened so fast, we don't have time to realize.
Arnaud DiPasquale:“It's true that everything happened very quickly. We signed this contract late to organize the tournament of padel at the Roland Garros stadium. We organized this urgently, in 3 or 4 months, to have this magnificent result.”
“It's fabulous to have the Roland-Garros stadium, but in terms of organization it's very restrictive. The teams behind are very competent.”
Padel Magazine : This event shows that it is possible to organize more events at Roland-Garros.
Arnaud DiPasquale:“Yes, and the FFT wants to diversify its offer at Roland. But this event is a major event. There will be tennis, but there will also be padel. It is above all that. Afterwards there are also parties, and other events, but this one on a different scale. This will be long term. It's an incredible spotlight, it gets the padel in another dimension.”
Padel Magazine : Some say thatand it is already the most beautiful event in the history of the padel.
Arnaud DiPasquale: “We are very happy for the players, because it is also for them that we are doing it. It is a sport still unknown in some countries, but booming.”
Padel Magazine : To see the qualifications, there is already an audience on all the courts.
Arnaud Di Pasquale :“That's what we want to offer. It also means allowing the public to discover the Roland-Garros stadium in a different configuration. This event will have a more festive tone, including a DJ on the Place du Jardin des Mousquetaires, entertainment, and also tracks to discover the practice.
